00:00 Hi there, it's John Blow from the Yorkshire Post here. Here's some of the things coming up in the week ahead.
00:05 The issue of closing music venues for a return to the House of Commons tomorrow as MPs are scheduled to hear from industry figures, including one from Yorkshire.
00:13 Last year the UK lost 125 grassroots music venues, which is equivalent to more than a tenth of the sector.
00:19 There's now a short inquiry in Parliament to explore the crisis, looking at the specific issues and considering what might prevent further venue closures.
00:27 Lily Fontaine, singer of the Leeds band English Teacher, is due to appear at tomorrow morning's evidence session.
00:33 Elsewhere, North Yorkshire is the location for the upcoming NASUWT Teaching Union's annual conference.
00:40 The event will go ahead at Harrogate Convention Centre between Friday and Sunday.
00:45 And the long weekend is coming up, with many looking to get away or take day trips over the Easter bank holiday.
00:51 Events in Yorkshire include the likes of the Wensleydale Easter craft fair in Hawes, York's annual chocolate festival and, in South Yorkshire, a Peter Rabbit inspired woodland walk at Hutton Roberts.
01:02 And don't forget, daylight saving time starts from Sunday night when clocks move forward one hour.
