Your cricket posts are confirmation (if it were needed) that blue sky is my new home. So many cricket fans emerging from behind their academic/artist/musician facades today. It's great!

That ‘ashes in oz’ feeling of impending doom as you switch on the radio at 7 in the morning to find out what happened overnight… 😆

Totally read that as UEA. Which also makes perfect sense…

Every now and then it works, as if by magic, and I’ve no idea how/why, and it is still no more likely to work the next time.

Love it! Was about to ask if there was any 'cheeky Monk' on the set list... 😆 Kids love live music don't they, and they're often frowned upon at performances, especially of 'serious' music, which is shockingly short-sighted given the average age of the audience at most classical/jazz gigs!

I can take or leave the middle class puff pieces, it’s the rampant transphobia that I’ll never support.

She doesn't! And I'd completely forgotten too but am now recalling the very familiar struggle to get it into the boot of the car (all our car purchases start with 'can we get a double bass in the back of it'!) She's about to head off to London to spend four years studying jazz, exciting times!

Can govt please explain to those of us who aren’t racist or anti-immigration, who’ve protested peacefully in far greater numbers against Brexit and in support of Palestine… why we are not worth representing at all? Why is it ok to doggedly ignore us in favour of a minority of ignorant haters?

Jazz-head-double-bass-playing teen offspring suggested this list of artists/albums to check out:
Cole Pulice
Jakob bro
Bill Frisell
Portico Quartet
Bandes Originales - Vincent Courtois, Daniel erdmann, Robin fincker
(+ Memoirs - Paul Bley, however, she appreciates that 1992 is not that recent...)

Thanks, I will. She's studying music, so destined to a life of financial insecurity 😆 (although aren't we all!!)

One of ours is off to London in a few weeks. Maximum maintenance loan with London weighting = £13,700, rent in halls £12,500. That leaves £400 PER TERM for food/travel/everything else. We have no available funds to top it up. How is that going to work? She’s panicking about money already!
