This is the book I wrote for the Barnes Music Festival. It’s called (self-explanatorily) Composers of Barnes. Fascinating stories about Handel, Holst, Howells and lots of other talented people whose names don’t start with H (inc Howard Goodall Roxanna Panufnik). And lovely pictures.

Very honoured to be in such distinguished company! Thank you so much Fiona ❤️

Last chance to listen to this! Disappears at 11pm tonight so you can squeeze it in if you’re quick…

Listened to this (following my own advice…) on a long Bank Holiday drive home just now. Very happy it sounded as good as I thought it would as we were doing it.

🚨BUT time is running out! You’ve only got three more days (because archive rights are limited).

Very brave standing on the Media City piazza without a big coat on.

A happy man with a foam finger. Thanks to Bronte for coming on BBC Radio 5 Live to tell us about the Gladiators TV final tonight. #Gladiators

Looking forward very much to having you on to play this live on the show, Steve!

Have reflected a lot this week on the 5Live birthday, and why I’m still here after 30 years when others have moved on. Basically: the places, the people, the variety of challenges, and of course, our listeners. This explains a bit more:

Also, just noticed this is only available on BBC Sounds for 6 days (commentary rights limitations) so don’t hang around!

Absolutely loved making this with John Murray Steve Bunce and the incredible BBC 5 Live Sport team who had an epic edit on to keep it to 150 mins. Do give it a listen if you’re on a long Easter weekend drive. #5LiveAt30

Good to have a catch up when we’re not sleep-deprived and grumpy at 4.30 on a weekend morning (although we always make each other laugh like drains then, too).

I urge you to listen to BBC Radio 5 Live tonight from 7.30pm where Eleanor Oldroyd guides you through 30 defining sporting moments.

Or listen later on BBC Sounds.

Plenty of cricket highlights included.

You are absolutely going to love this. Iconic sporting moments as heard on BBC 5 Live Sport brought to you by iconic voices from the last 30 years. John Murray Steve Bunce and I joined by some very special guests. Available too to listen back on BBC Sounds. 🎉

Incredibly hard to choose a top ten out of the amazing sporting moments as heard on BBC Radio 5 Live over the past 30 years. Really looking forward to finding out your number one on Thursday. Voting closes at 12 noon today! 👇

Gorgeous stuff from Danny Care and his kids. But there'll have been an ITV Sport sound engineer having kittens there for a minute or two.

This is excellent! Tailenders live show next for Joe Root ...🎸

This is tonight! Very proud to have revisited the stories and music of the amazing composers who've made their home in our green London village. And thrilled to have Barnes Music Festival patrons Roxanna Panufnik Howard Goodall joining me on stage, with lots of musical interludes.🎹

Proof - piano keyboard in a medium sized hatchback, as discussed with Nick Eardley on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast. The stand fitted in as well. Altogether now…Sing us a song, you’re the Piano Car… 🎶
