Though I'm not the biggest follower of all things royal, this is a truly wonderful appointment. A really inspiring and imaginative composer: classical-music.com/news/errollyn-…

I do rather like Bristol Temple Meads station. This is good news, as CrossCountry Trains make me wait here for longer than I want to on an almost daily basis.

OK. I was being optimistic when I said my CrossCountry Trains train is running 30 mins late. It's decided to stop for a beer and a fag at Bristol TM. We're currently going precisely nowhere.

Both my Twitter and Facebook timelines currently are awash with posters who seem to be desperate to be congratulated for not liking/caring about Oasis. Is there some sort of medal we can award them?

Yay. Off to Oxford United vs Preston today. It's such a long time ago that I can't recall the exact last match I saw Oxford play at this level. Come on you Yellows!!!

This month, we celebrate the joy of the musical - not such a distant cousin to 'higher-brow' opera as you might think. Plus, Bruckner, female composers, and Beethoven's astonishing late flowering classical-music.com/magazine/issue…

Bruckner's 200th birthday today! It's also Milhaud's 132nd and Beyoncé's 43rd. I shall be listening to all three at some point today.

I recently had the great pleasure of talking to Genesis's Tony Banks about all sorts of things, from Prog Rock keyboard solos to writing music for orchestra. Do please flatter me by taking a look: classical-music.com/articles/tony-…

This morning's CrossCountry Trains train is late due to 'train crew being delayed'. We'll take it as read that they took a CrossCountry train to get to work...

Two women on my train, who evidently don't travel on CrossCountry Trains very often, are complaining about the lack of catering, as if that were some sort if significant problem. Am tempted to tell them that having a seat/train that runs on time is a rare luxury.

So, watch England playing tediumball to the banal soundtrack of Matterface and Dixon, or listen to Britten at his most teeth-clenchingly irritating at the Proms? Not a great choice...

Genesis keyboard player Tony Banks was a seminal figure in the 1970s prog rock movement. Now, he's pivoted into classical music. Jeremy Pound quizzes him on his musical journey classical-music.com/articles/tony-…

Sad to see another Proms season over. Though my job often means I often know in advance, I still love the occasions when we stick Radio 3 on at 7.30 to discover what's on. I thought this season was an absolute cracker.
