WOW - we are in at NUMBER SEVEN in the official classical chart today! That's way better than we ever dreamed of. Thanks to all of you who've supported me, and the @londonsymphony.bsky.social and @republicmedia.bsky.social and everyone else. Thanks, thanks, thanks. 🙏Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇬🇧🎶

Nice piece in the DailyExpress today from Lesley-Ann Jones mentioning Paul McCartney's great new album and my "Ukraine" symphony in the same breath. I'll take that, (with thanks)! Symphony link here: dramatico.lnk.to/Symphony-1

Just to give you a rest from my bloody symphony: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv1e...
Thanks @petroc.bsky.social and @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social for a fun chatty interview about my #symphony about NOT such a fun subject, #Ukraine - and for the world premiere playing of two movements of said symphony. Link to listen/buy here: dramatico.lnk.to/Symphony-1
