Only 36 years ago today - Genesis and Peter Gabriel at the MK Bowl youtu.be/YGq7FQ818pA via YouTube. Wet but fun!

Apocalypse #chippingnorton !

This is not a perspective our profession should quickly dismiss. We must be honest in our failures to argue for a better system and to operate as well as we can the one we’ve got. Not just a ‘cars’ or a ‘public-private’ thing either. theguardian.com/cities/2019/ap…

terrific performance from Banbury Hockey Club Boys U14 at final England Hockey tournament at Warwick today. Unbeaten against some top teams from across the country. Very proud!

Pleased to say that we’ve been helping #neighbourhoodplan teams use ⁦Historic England⁩ advice to identify local heritage assets in policy for a number of years. gov.uk/government/new…

Chris, this is #neighbourhoodplanning all over when it’s done well. The best LPAs and smartest developers have worked this out but not reached tipping point yet. Until then bad appeal decisions will continue to undermine too often. planningresource.co.uk/article/167612…

Bought Marlon Williams live album in Auckland last week. Lucky to have seen him in Brum a couple of years ago after Cerys Matthews recommendation on BBC Radio 6 Music. Just brilliant and uplifting for these lockdown days.

Blimey Faircropfest this would have been a damp start to the weekend! But still way better than no festival at all.

Wonderful new ⁦Laura Veirs⁩ album from the good folks ⁦Bella Union⁩. Now for learning the guitar parts but worried all that retuning going to need more guitars to keep up!

One of the best albums of the year Doves BBC Radio 6 Music #TShirtDay

Getting ready for New Grass. Have to agree with @Guy_Garvey - not just probably their best but up there with anyone’s best. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Obligatory FM take on 10CC on the chorus. Sounds great. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Just noticed he’s wearing the team jacket I designed for the Evening Mail competition in 1981. A bit dated but I’m still proud! Birmingham Speedway

⁦Wyndow⁩ a special Friday album treat. Just wonderful and worthy of all the great reviews it’s getting.

⁦Chipping Norton News⁩ ⁦@WodcWill⁩ so what’s the £78k to WODC for the ‘Chipping Norton Exemplar’ all about then? gov.uk/government/new…

Got to be Field Music for #TShirtDay this year.

⁦Lifesigns⁩ just terrific again in MK tonight. Fortitude even better live - one of the best slices of prog written since the 70s! Timely for ⁦ProgMagazineUK⁩ awards! And enjoyed support from ⁦The Blackheart Orchestra⁩ too.

I'm selling a ticket for ¥[]U|\|G K|\|!v€$ this Thursday at The Jericho Tavern on Twickets (face value or less) twckts.com/2INLM #Twickets

Expecting to see a lot of old and new BMKALC friends at this next week. Drop by to say hello and hear about our new planning services for local councils. #PlanningForGood

Thanks to @Jaffeandneale in #ChippingNorton for getting hold of the wonderful Richard Macphail book for my birthday. Great World of Genesis stories and more (loved the Rotterdam incident!) Finished in two days and well recommended.
