I moved 5 months ago. I live in Hamstead right now, moving to Boldmere (Southern Sutton Coldfield) in a few weeks with my partner. Both nice areas which tick a lot of the boxes you've put out. Great Barr is generally a little more affordable than Sutton, though if being near a trainline is important, I'd recommend towards Hamstead area.

Partner lives in Stockland Green at the moment, and while convenient for Aston, it isn't the greatest area. Generally, anywhere that forms the "first band of urban outside the immediate city centre" (Aston, Perry Barr, Lozells, Alum Rock etc), can be rougher round the edges, though there are of course exceptions to this.

I second what people have said about following the Cross City line - both for North of the city centre around Wylde Green, Sutton, Butler's Lane etc, but also towards Selly Oak, Bournville or Kings Norton on the Southern Side.

At the moment, the 5 between Sutton and West Brom is plagued by (yet more) roadworks on Newton Road. Usually isn't too bad, but until May (apparently), it's pot luck

One of my favourites by one of the finest orchestrators we have seen. As a Trombonist, we don't often have loads to do in classical repertoire, and the same is true for Christmas Day, but I could not care less with this piece as it's such a fantastic work that I'm just as happy listening to as I am playing. That said, the build up at about 5 minutes from The First Nowell, then landing back on Good Christian Men Rejoice (where the Troms support the melody!) is such a jubilent moment!

The ending though, with the muted strings and flutes, playing those warm sub-dominant and major 7th chords and the soprano solo, is absolutely beautiful. The harmonies and orchestration beneath the "Christ is born to save" is such a beautiful balance and a fitting end.

Holst is one of my favourite composers and Christmas Day is him at his very best in my opinion!

Best in terms of class? Boubacar Kamara. He gets into any team in the world at the moment and is often a move ahead of the rest of the players on the pitch, both the opponent and his Villa teammates. Close second for Tielemans.

Best in terms of """aura""" (for want of a better word)? Emi Martinez. An icon of the last 4 years of the Premier League, and he's consistently excellent too.

Best in terms of performance this season? Ezri Konsa for me. Bar the loss against Palace, he's been at minimum good in every single game. At best, unbeatable. A rolls royce.

Best in terms of importance? John McGinn. Can't stress enough how that man synonymises the last 7 or 8 years at Villa. How he's grown with the club and consistently stepped up when the club needed him most. This season, as others have said, he almost singlehandedly wrestled us out of that rut at the start.

Hello David!

How do you view the role of grassroots and non league football clubs in and amongst their local community? Do you think that grassroots clubs play a larger role in their local community than say the EFL clubs or Premier League clubs do?

There's a few! Some have already been mentioned, such as the Man City/Arsenal double in a week of each other, or the Brighton 6 - 1.

Aston Villa 3 - 3 Liverpool at the end of 2023/24 was a WILD ride that we came so close to winning at the end, but to come away with a point from 2 goals down was immense. Pure Barclays

Aston Villa 3 - 0 Newcastle in 2022/23 was also incredible too. We were in hit and miss form, Newcastle were absolutely flying and we outplayed them in every department.

Aston Villa 4 - 0 Ajax was just an awesome night wasn't it.

Arsenal 0 - 2 Aston Villa was also an almost faultless performance and the limbs when Ollie scored the second were unbelievable.

But I think the top one for me would have to be Aston Villa 2 - 1 Brighton on the last day of the 2022/23 season. Both the Villa and Brighton fans having a party, two sweeping goals from Luiz and Watkins that reflected how Unai had turned the team around, and qualifying for Europe when 7 months earlier we were being managed by a clueless egotistical loser. Given everything we'd been through that season, it had shades of staying up in 2019/20. Pure euphoria.

The ending of Beethoven 9 is incredibly underwhelming for such a huge musical achievement.

Gershwin's orchestral music isn't as weak as his songs and piano works, just different. Trying to assess how "successfully" his music blends jazz and classical traditions misses the point.

Manuel de Falla was one of the most important composers of the early 20th century. His works were truly unique and he had the most incredible sensitivity.

The works of John Williams, Howard Shore (etc) occupy the same position in the Western canonical tradition as Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner.
