It’s Friday night as I type this – though it won’t be when you’re reading it – and if you’re a Twitter person, you know what happens today: Follow Friday, or FF, a chance to recommend new tweeters to your own followers, and thereby give those people a vote of confidence and admiration.

I confess I don’t often do it, mostly through sheer indecision (You’re All My Favourites!) but tonight I thought I might make up for that in an extended way. You may have read my recent opera column in the September issue of Limelight, all about opera singers and Twitter. I only managed to namecheck a few obvious superstars in that article, but there are so many more I could have mentioned – so here I am, on Follow Friday, with ten tweeting singers who I think are among the best.

So if Twitter’s your thing, please read on, and maybe find a few new voices to enliven your feed. You can also follow me @primalamusica and Limelight @limelighted.
