Fulfilled a lifetime ambition tonight when I heard the Berlin Philharmonic play live for the first time. Outstanding. So many highlights, brilliant soloists throughout the orchestra, but I will never forget the warmth of the string sound in the Elgar and the Horn section in Tchaikovsky 4!!

Magical afternoon at the #EdinburghInternationalFestval Anita Weilerstein performing the complete cello suites as part of Bach to Bach day. Wonderful playing, she held the audience spellbound for three hours.

Migrants can't answer back. They have no voice. So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue. In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess. That is what is really going on here.

Incredibly expensive parking, but on the plus side I think you can see the Department Q police station (unless I'm mistaken) on the right. The opening scene was filmed in Wester Hailes so I'm looking forward to seeing an image from there soon.
