This was my view yesterday morning, 12 hours after I left the Great British Music Camp. Probably one of the best weeks of my life. After too many months without touching a saxophone (cancer will have that effect), it was SO good to get back at it. Coming home feels good - no tent or air bed in sight - but there's so much to miss. The only question now is - What next?

I have a tiny home for the next week. First night passed in a dream. Music by day will make up for the canvas (although it's not canvas, of course). Location: Clonter Theatre

I wouldn't consider myself a thought leader, but after reading Mindy Gibbins-Klein's 24 Carat Bold , I will definitely aim to be more courageous. In my head, experts are defined by others - there are several 'experts' whose claims have been debunked over the years. I can't imagine why anyone would ever think of me as an expert in anything, but I do think I can make myself more credible.

Just a simple family group. Only this is far from simple. Our family has been split for many years - so many years ago that no-one can really remember why. Turns out they can be in the same place at the same time and get on. People even laughed. There were even friendly debates about who had been at which family gathering 30 or 40 years ago. So never - never - say never. If enough people want something to happen, it can happen.

This is a film to move you. It moved me to want to support more initiatives like Billy Bragg's Jail Guitar Doors, which provides one of the pivotal moments for two of the trio of great women at the heart of this film. Beginning with TV footage of the looting from the summer 2011 riots on the streets of the UK, the film has a lot more to say about some of the putative stories behind those images. There are some deeply memorable moments around music in Urban Hymn , particularly some of the early juxtaposition between Jamie (Letitia Wright) singing through a cloud of smoke and care worker Kate (Shirley Henderson) as part of a community choir. Another clash comes with tomb stones - one to Jamie's mother and one to Kate's son. ...
