My Luskentyre Lullaby sounds rather good on the harmonium 🎶
Here's a burst of Gospel on my harmonium. Enjoy! 😎🎶🎹 youtu.be/iUqtYr-z_Ic?...
Picked up this gorgeous harmonium. Already having great fun. British light music sounds excellent!
Looking for composers of contemporary piano music for a collection I'm compiling for publication in Jan 26. Think ABRSM gr 4-6 list C 🎹🎶
Meeting my colleagues at Kevin Mayhew Publishers. Really excited to be back on board!
First day at the office since last century. Dahn sarf for a couple of days in Suffolk. Everyone speaks funny here 😂😂😂🏴
Exciting news! I've been appointed Commissioning Editor for Kevin Mayhew Publishers. Looking forward to joining the team and bringing some amazing new music books onto the market 🎶🎹 www.kevinmayhew.com
Liz Truss made better economic decisions 🤬
A date for your diaries. Yours truly at the piano for a lovely evening of gorgeous songs.
Managed to sell my Yamaha upright piano and now my Mum's lovely Hoffmann is in pride of place in the music room. Happy memories of playing duets together for half a century ❤️🎹
Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

The Yamaha upright where I composed all of my Scottish piano music is up for sale. It's a lovely instrument from the mid 80s and I've owned it for 18 years. Powerful tone, regularly tuned and well looked after. Valued at up to £1500 but I'm only looking for £1000. Based in East Lothian, Scotland.
Rowan must have spotted her wee brother coorying up to me and wants a piece of the action 😂 🐈⬛
I rehearse there every Wednesday and I've never noticed this!
teuchtersbar.co.uk Shout out for Teuchters Landing in Leith. A proper pub with fantastic food (tons of excellent vegan options too) and the best selection of whiskies in town (correct me if I'm wrong) slàinte mhath 🥃
Starting 2025 with an empty schedule (apart from teaching and choir commitments) so if you've got any music publishing projects needing a highly experienced (32 years) editor / engraver, please give me a shout!
New year's eve and what am I doing? Working on Bach fingering and hand distribution in preparation for my first lesson of the year with my diploma student! Doesn't really feel like work though... 😂 🎶🎹

My wife bought the same t-shirt for our annual viewing!
Looking forward to more daylight. Can't we just have the longer days now rather than being spoon fed a couple of extra minutes each day? 😂
