The minimalist composer John Adams got unlucky *twice*, with his piece "Short Ride In A Fast Machine":

From the Wikipedia entry for John Adams' piece "Short Ride In A Fast Machine":
The work was performed at the BBC Proms in 2004 2014 and 2019.

Scheduled performances at the Last Niaht of the Proms were cancelled twice: in 1997 after the death of Princess Diana, and in 2001 after the September 11 attacks.

I look forward to him learning a little about touring, in particular the bit about aiming to turn up at the venue at the same time as the audience.

Clip from a BBC report on the Colin Sutton tour:
Defending his decision, Sutton said "I spoke to the people around me and we decided that it wouldn't impinge.
He continued: "The logistics of each evening are that I turn up at about 7pm, I go on stage at 7.30pm and I'm clear by 10pm.

There are tons of genuine Churchill quotes she could have used. "My education was interrupted only by my schooling", for one.

Hmmm... Amazon reviews seem to be on the fence, but it's only £1.85 on Kindle...

Boris Johnson wrote this while a backbencher, and though it probably wouldn't stand comparison with Belloc it might make a nice candidate for inclusion. (One reviewer described it as "Boris at his best"; they may well be right.)

Allister Heath's real opinions are bad enough; there's no need for you to make them up, and faking a headline just risks spreading misinformation.

Gosh, this. I listened to it again not long ago. I was a huge fan of JEG when I bought it; not so much now, though the big choruses hold up pretty well.

Absolutely. If changing the route had caused any significant expense or delay, it would have been reported, so no harm done. My immediate reaction to the protests was yours. But then, do we happily sweep away all the sentimental children's fiction sites? Or just the recent ones?
