Someone drew me dancing in Sydney, sorry I can’t remember your name. Like the picture though😊

It doesn’t need saying but sometimes I just want to say- ALL ARE WELCOME to a B&S show. We love you the way you are, however you are, and we love to see you at the show. If there’s anything we can do to make YOU more comfortable at a gig, tell us, and we’ll try to make it happen.

Yay! It was a humpback I saw from the plane, its flippers I initially took to be oars. Glad to have some sort of confirmation or else I might have thought I was seeing things.😁

Is that a photo? Looks good whatever you did😊

It’s ironic that the only item that didn’t make it into the pop themed wash/dryer was my Hall And Oates shirt, due to its dye spreading proclivity.😊 But I can go for that, obviously.

Hello and Goodbye from Perth Australia 😊

Love, from Singapore 😊👍🏼

Chattanooga Choo Choo - Glenn Miller Orchestra youtu.be/-XQybKMXL-k?si… This was the first gold record awarded for sales of 1.2 million in 1941. It’s a cracker!

Back in Glasgow, looking forward to the dentist, a nice loaf of bread, and fixing my bike puncture.👍🏼

That’s nice of you to say Phil. Though not my autobiography, I did narrate my new biographical novel in the summer, will be released at the start of October.

There’s me and Birmingham. Having a quiet breakfast having crawled off the bus. Going to find a nice sung Eucharist to get me in a musical mood. See you later at ⁦Moseley Folk & Arts Festival⁩ ❤️

This reminds me of my friend Steve, when he came to London for the first time from the US he used to look round and say ‘Cathedral cathedral cathedral’ ‘cos he thought every building looked like one (riffing on ‘Marsha Marsha Marsha’ from the Brady Bunch)

Birmingham vibes. Also asking, which songs might you think would work well acoustically, either piano or guitar, for my upcoming uk book tour?

dropbox.com/scl/fi/6l4zh0g… Felt very lucky, the afternoon at Moseley Folk, a Joni Mitchell covers band called Hejira came on, focusing on mid 70s Joni. Pretty immaculate performance throughout.

Passed on to me by my brother in law George, funny 😉

Message from the quiet wood..😏🙏🏼☯️

When a Scottish parent said to me “Don't be such a show off” (and they said it often) it might have been a surprise for them to learn that it was this exact personality trait, and not my aptitude for maths, that would keep me in long underwear. 🤡➡️🩳

My pal Ciara took this picture of her dad’s’ classic book ‘Cal’. Sad Boy Lit is new to both of us, wonder if Nobody’s Empire would qualify? I kinda hope not, but then you may as well try to hold back the ‘twee’ word too.😊

I see a LOT of AC/DC shirts around these days, wish I still had my first one though, it was a cracker, though you can only see the top of Angus’s head in this picture.

I’ve heard Robin Guthrie being described as a frustrated drummer. I would say he was a great drummer. Though I assume most of the Cocteau drums were programmed, they have swing, they never feel robotic - an essential part of the track’s fabric, so groovy youtu.be/EK7Mx4YJrc8?si…
