Will Kemp the clown was fired by #Shakespeare and danced 125 miles from London to #Norwich as a comeback stunt. Hear Kemp's jig performed by the marvellous @SSAI13 on Radio 3 Breakfast playback, 07:25, great way to start the day bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b5tl2…

If there's anything lovelier than @Newnham_College in the sunshine, then music to celebrate the Longest Night with the Society of Strange & Ancient Instruments @samovarteahouse, then you'd better tell me fast, because it seems pretty unbeatable as days go.
