@ashbeauchamp It’s European Art

@knolloz All the more reason for us not to have left the EU then 😊

@ashbeauchamp Weird tweet.

@PaddyBriggs Weird reply.

@ashbeauchamp and our science @mikegalsworthy

@girasoles_lady @mikegalsworthy Absolutely. My tweet definitely not an exhaustive list!

@ashbeauchamp For sure. And the people in charge of programming the music would do well to allow girls to be part of that too. I’ve been fighting this since a little girl.

@ashbeauchamp @Oldboatie Tories are trying to reverse that by cutting funding for the arts, attacking artists and making it a lot harder for musicians to earn a living by introducing financial barriers to touring in Europe.

@ashbeauchamp Using the funeral of a monarch to try to score a political point? Shame on you.

@ashbeauchamp A real shame no female voices were heard in the choir though. Epically bizarre in a truly British way.

@ashbeauchamp Not only is this 'soft power', a term often bandied about when it suits then but easily dismissed too. But it's also a major source of income for the country. We lead the world in fewer areas than is often claimed. But The Arts is one of them. Be less Dorries! Value them.

@ashbeauchamp It was sad that Belfast had to get in the Priory Singers (brilliant as they) because they ended their choir in June. Sadly Llandaff too no longer has a professional choir. A surfeit of Bishops and a shortage of choirs? And a philistine Gvnmnt.

@ashbeauchamp @ABroadBrush And our historians, journalists (press, TV & radio), camera-men, producers and other media specialists. World-leading. People with the kind of post-A-level educations and training that the govt is determined to undermine.

@ashbeauchamp And our military.

@ashbeauchamp Far to busy grifting…

@ashbeauchamp Definitely don't disagree, it was stunning, brava to all involved. What I had hoped for in 2022 however, was more representation in terms of the diversity of performers and composers.
