On Sunday, hundreds walked slowly and silently in mourning around Brighton. The pieces of ribbon had thousands of names and ages of the children who have been k!lled by Isra.el. A deeply sad day.

I've had a special few days celebrating the 15 year anniversary of the first Hurts album. My hugely talented brother and his band played sold out gigs at Brixton Academy and Tempodrom Berlin. Incredible performances in rooms that were brimming with love. x

Tomorrow in #Brighton. Come and join us!

Last night at Sound Affects we covered beatboxing nuns, FKA Twigs, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Pulp and much more. Gratitude to poet/activist Erin James and authors Liam Inscoe-Jones and Jamie Taylor for their superb talks. Our next Brighton fing is on July 2nd. ticketsource.co.uk/sound-affects/…

I wrote about MËSTIZA and their musical roots for Hï Ibiza. They're a fantastic Spanish DJ duo who incorporate traditional sounds and instruments into their music and performances. Read about MËSTIZA, flamenco, Afro house and Spanish techno at hiibiza.com/news/the-roots…

Brighton peoples, Sound Affects on July 2nd will be something special. Talks on punk, activism, folklore, experimental music, and much more. ticketsource.co.uk/sound-affects/… #brighton #brightonandhove

I’m chuffed to be doing this Brighton event with author Lanre Bakare. His new book ‘We Were There: How Black culture, resistance and community shaped modern Britain’ is superb. This will be a discussion with some music and film to accompany. x ticketsource.co.uk/sound-affects/… #Brighton

Today I saw the mighty woolyknickers and her new Oasis book! And After All is a fascinating and original history of the band, told by the fans and the people who were there. I found it a privilege to work as a researcher on this book. Out on 17 July via Simon & Schuster UK. #Oasis
