Hugely looking forward to my Orkestra gig in TRING, Hertfordshire on Saturday 20th. From the 1812 Overture to Star Wars by way of “Right Said Fred” - it’s gonna be great. Tickets bit.ly/Tringe24 @tringefestival

In amongst all the doom and gloom, I’m going to cheer myself up by going to this concert @cadoganhall in aid of @HelpMusicians - if @rainerhersch can’t put a smile on my face then no one can. And, let’s face it, #musicians need all the help they can get right now.

Thanks to everyone that attended Saturday's April Fool's Gala, and to @RainerHersch for creating such a fun event to raise funds for Help Musicians. @DameEvelyn, @zebsoanes, @EarlOkin, James Oldfield and all the performers were brilliant, it was a great evening.

Well that was a wonderfully BONKERS night on stage with @rainerhersch and @DameEvelyn at the @cadoganhall in aid of @HelpMusicians — an orchestrated Shipping Forecast (in which I got very wet) and The History Of Music (in 5 minutes!) Lovely to be supported by @tasminlittle too 🙏 – at Camden Town, London
