    This is absolutely AWFUL. 46 redundancies across 3 orchestras. BBC Singers totally axed - the only group of its kind . Speechless.

    It’s super that some of you musicians out there are busy, really really great. But. Please remember the rest of us are still in or only just emerging from the banana bread times. And still worried.

    Glared at by two women when I sneezed into my mask (standing room only train) Neither wearing masks. “Put yours on then, we should all be wearing them” I said loudly. Stared back at me… as they slowly put their masks on. Yeah. There we go.

    Manchester already has Opera North. The whole reason Opera North was created was as a representation of English National Opera for the North of England . This is so stupid. London needs ENO.

    Dear Music Business, Can’t fit a full orchestra on stage/in the pit due to covid rules? Just bought exciting new reduced orchestrations of masterpieces? Please don’t forget how amazing a full symphony orchestra used to sound. Yours, Out of work wind, brass &percussion players.
