To say that it has been an utter joy to rehearse and play with our Rncm students is an understatement. Life affirming stuff within difficult times for musicians. These guys give us much hope. Come watch tonight 8pm. https://t.co/HkMG5b3Lz3

Very chuffed indeed that the brilliant @ElenaUrioste and @PosterTom are playing a piece I wrote for them today. Going out live from @wigmore_hall on @BBCRadio3 at 1pm. Thanks guys!! 😘
It’s just like #UriPosteJukeBox... but an hour long... and in a REALLY nice house! 😬 Please join me and my beloved @PosterTom, 1 pm at @wigmore_hall for music by @MarkSimpson_88, Clara Schumann, Messiaen, @DonaldGrant, and Grieg. Live on @BBCRadio3, too! https://t.co/Cio3zs2FQv

Was so incredibly chuffed to be asked to write something for Elena and Tom, amazing people and musicians. Check out their project #UriPosteJukebox. Here is a Slow Air I wrote for them.
We celebrate Day 50 of #UriPosteJukebox with the fifth of our #UriPostePremieres: @ElenaUrioste and I adore @DonaldGrant's folk-infused music, and are so touched by this tune he wrote us, ‘Bha lá eile ann’ (‘There was a different day’). Full video + intro: https://t.co/096vlfKvmC

We begin a new Concert Series in the RNCM Concert Hall on the 26th November. Excited to be back where it all began for us 21 years ago.
Formed at the RNCM in 1998, the @elias_quartet is now one of the world’s leading quartets, who still make regular visits to coach our students. We're celebrating this special relationship with a new series of concerts starting on 26 Nov! More info >> https://t.co/cIqi5o5KMr

I had a guitar smashed on a flight with @AerLingus a few weeks ago. I've tried the various online routes they make you go down to claim for this horrendous damage, but they have ceased to communicate with me. Share if you agree this is unacceptable behaviour for an airline.

20 September @Kingsplace don't miss the #EliasQuartet perform @sfbeamish's Reed Stanzas inspired by @elias_quartet's @DonaldGrant - he doubles as a Scottish fiddle player. Her 3rd quartet evokes windswept landscapes of #Suffolk & #Harris & the call of the lapwing. #VenusUnwrapped
🎶'Playing of wonderful exuberance and fire'🔥 (@guardian) – hear the acclaimed @elias_quartet perform Sally Beamish's Reed Stanzas framed by Beethoven's vivacious Op. 18/1 and the third Razumovsky live on Fri 20 Sep: https://t.co/De2VdNO4dA

🏴 @NicolaSturgeon: "Theresa May must be the only leader in history who has tried to fall on her own sword... and missed!" 📝 Just in case you were wondering what the response in Scotland is at #FMQs to the current Brexit shambles.
