@jkaconductor.bsky.socialSplendid. And the piano concerto is on at 2pm!
John Andrews
@jkaconductor.bsky.social
Multi-award-winning conductor; usually to be found unearthing lost musical treasures, or serving his feline overlords.

@jkaconductor.bsky.socialI often wonder whether it is precisely because they are largely severed from Christian practice and its shared communities that they find Muslims actually going to Friday prayers and observing their fasts so intimidating.
@jkaconductor.bsky.socialWe have a family visiting regularly. The cats are not impressed…
@jkaconductor.bsky.socialThe youth has been cooking.
@jkaconductor.bsky.socialFinalmente!
@jkaconductor.bsky.socialNobody obviously there to succeed (if they think they are then they’re doing It terribly quietly).
@sathnam.bsky.socialReposted by @jkaconductor.bsky.socialDear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

@jkaconductor.bsky.socialThank you! Sorry not to say hello but it’s a long way home….
@petruscrinitus.bsky.socialReposted by @jkaconductor.bsky.socialGood gig tonight in Malvern @jkaconductor.bsky.social conducting 20th century English works, some well known, some less so. For me the Warlock take on John Dowland was of particular note.
John Andrews certainly knows how to get the best out of a band, in this case the Royal Ballet Sinfonia.
@jkaconductor.bsky.socialThough tbf, even now, my kids use “Millwall fan” as a euphemism for ‘almost certainly a bit racist.’
@jkaconductor.bsky.socialPerhaps poor taste. Just now to recall that when Jeffrey Archer was alleged to have been there with a bag of cash, literally the whole country understood the implication.
@rachelparris.bsky.socialReposted by @jkaconductor.bsky.socialHey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶
@jkaconductor.bsky.social6 generations = 64 great, great, great great grandparents. How many need to be English? (Note: I have no clue in my own case)
@jkaconductor.bsky.socialI shall be there - and have shared details with the Arthur Sullivan Society…😉🦇
@jkaconductor.bsky.socialMercifully it’s not tomorrow’s Scores…..😉
@jkaconductor.bsky.socialIn a senior moment I have mislaid a bag of scores; So now weighing up how reasonably/ethical it would be to demand the CCTV of me from my local tube to work out when I last had it…
@jkaconductor.bsky.socialI was definitely never scared walking from Kings Cross to the old Thameslink station….
