Lots of businesses, venues and orgs have dabbled with Pay As You Can offers. Very few do it regularly, I went to a cafe that does it 5 mornings a week. Why do they do it? How do they do they make it work? Find out on today’s #youandyours on BBC Radio 4 📻 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

This Hebden Bridge alley is the UK’s most famous backstreet right now. 6 million have seen it. I went to where Happy Valley was filmed to find out what the show is doing for the high streets of the beautiful Calder Valley. Catch it on BBC Radio 4 at 12:25 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Had a lovely Sunday afternoon at The Trades Club hearing Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite chat about his book. Really looking forward to reading it.

1 in 7 British shops are empty. It’s easy to blame lack of demand but those trying to take one on tell a story of being ghosted by estate agents & becoming a private detective to find the landlord. Hear my report from Sheffield on this on #youandyours bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

For today's #youandyours I went to the East Midlands to meet Ann in her 2 bed rented house. Its damp & too small for her family of 4. She feels trapped & can't move despite a good income. Hear the story & what you can do if you're in a similar place. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

A trip to his shop was always time and money well spent. He once asked me: "do you like the avant-garde?" and took me to a backroom full of Steve Reich & Phillip Glass gems explaining them and how he convinced Brian Eno why Elvis always sounds better in mono. Lovely man. RIP 🫡🎈

The 6 times I saw Stars Of The Lid are some of my favourite gig memories. I was lucky to meet Brian in Brighton in 2007. He told me how he makes a guitar sound that way and signed my album with: “go to sleep”. Smart, funny & humble. Thank you for everything.🎈

Not long back from seeing Nina Nastasia at The Trades Club . She is always brilliant of course but tonight even more so. Perfect set of tunes old and new. Emotional stuff. Wouldn’t want it any other way.
