Today we release our #ReportCard2024, revealing the state of crisis in cultural education. There has been a systemic and persistent deprioritisation of the Expressive Arts within England's schools. Read the report: culturallearningalliance.org…

Weird one here folks. I've lost my driver to tomorrow's sold out Cambridge solo show at @TPAPub so I am having to take a train down. This means I can not travel with my stage piano. If anyone has a decent one to loan for the evening I will treat it and you very nicely. #UGH
