Thank you Nige Tassell & Nine Eight Books! Properly excited to work my way through this essential piece of pop culture sleuthing. #TooRyeAy

Anohni and the Johnsons were breathtakingly good last night Barbican Centre. Truly a gig for the ages. anohni’s vocals, honesty and wit swept me away and then some. “You are my sister”, dedicated to her sister in the audience (and yes I did have a little cry).

An absolutely brilliant opportunity, share widely and don't be shy.... apply! ISPA is a great place to network, advocate and forge new friendships and creative alliances.

Excellent night at BBC Proms where Jules Buckley, BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus & guests inc Marika Hackman more than did justice to the musical majesty of Nick Drake. Thank you to Sam Jackson David Pickard & BBC Radio 3 for the invite.

SMOOSH! touches down in Bradford city centre at BD:Festival Bradford District’s Culture tomorrow🎉 There are two massive musical processions setting off down Tyrell Street and around Centenary Square at 11:30am and 4:00pm – no booking required, just turn up and get involved (you'll hear us!)

The news that Garry Robson has passed away is a terrible shock to those who knew, worked with and loved him. You can read a tribute to him, written by Jamie Beddard, who had the privilege to be Garry's friend and colleague for over 30 years. diversecity.org.uk/2024/07/30/a-t…
