This made me particularly happy today! Working with dear friends who have known me for years ❤️ Singing Messiah with a great amateur choir always brings home how lucky we are to have these opportunities and that we must keep this important music-making alive for future generations.

Love this! What instrument would you borrow first? I’d grab a bassoon before you could say ‘Rite of Spring’ 😜
I'm now the only person in my family who isn't learning an instrument so I've joined a music library called Music Broth (Southside of Glasow) and you can pay a monthly fee to borrow instruments to see which one you like! Toot toot!
