Calling all Bradford-based emerging music promoters 👀🎸

I’m hearing that doctors who are about to complete their GP training are considering taking jobs as junior doctors in hospitals instead, because they can’t get jobs as fully qualified GPs.

This is because the government has restricted funding for GP practices to hire doctors🚨

📢We're delighted to announce today our new opportunity, the Early Career Promoter Fund supported by Arts Council England & Department for Culture, Media and Sport for grassroots music promoters!

Grants of up to £3,500 are available and you can submit applications from 2nd May 2024.

Huge congratulations and all the best for your next chapter!

9 years ago, this week, I was dropped off for my first NCO-GB residency at Sherborne Girls.
Today, I’m taking a train back to Sherborne to join the NCO Main Orchestra’s Easter residency as a #NCOStudentHorizons tutor.
A privilege to work alongside the musicians of the future 🎻

Radical right-wing charities on Tufton Street, like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, are constantly spreading harmful climate change disinformation & denial. What does the Charity Commission do to stop them? Nothing. So we're taking them to court 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…

The arts are essential for health. They give us metaphors for our lives. They hint at other possible futures. They get us off the highly addictive treadmill of instant gratification. They give us challenge & joy. A cut to arts is a cut to health. Don't.

Ok, all you young people, don't let this truly atrocious Govt steal away your vote!

Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy: more than car and oil industries together. They employ 2.3million people. To cut funding is fudge-brained, cack-hearted thinking pitched very much at the highest level of economic self-harm. theguardian.com/education/2024…

Ministers will cut funding for performing and creative arts courses at English universities next year, which will further damage the country’s cultural industries. More bad news for the arts… theguardian.com/education/2024…

A very sad day for UK arts today as our wonderful friends and colleagues at English National Opera give their final performance before company-wide redundancies take effect tomorrow and cuts to Welsh National Opera announced too. Arts Council England and those responsible should be ashamed of themselves. 1/2
