Today is a historic day as Ireland officially recognises Palestine.

As a government we taken a series of measures in response to Israel's genocidal campaign, but we can and must do more.

We must pass the Occupied Territories Bill.

As part of our bank holiday special, Ruth Millington and Alayo Akinkugbe join @bbcnuala to tell us more about the history of the muse ⬇️

I once got in a lift with the late great Terry Nutkins where we discussed why the ground floor was listed as 1 and not 0

This is such a brilliant read, especially Jude and Joe's description of the sense of community that reading Smash Hits and Word (and subsequently music forums) fostered in the 90s/00s

Thanks to Joe and Brian too for consistently awesome and high-grade content/writing 👏

John Spellar has been a champion for music during his time in the House of Commons. This includes his trailblazing Bill in 2018 on the agent of change principle to protect music venues from developers & more recently the impact of AI on music. On behalf UK Music thank you!!
