A display for the Necks live in Amsterdam.
Party time at the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam tonight. 🎹 🎸 🥁
I didn’t expect him to be so erudite. Thanks for this. Indeed a lot to let sink in. I shall pace myself.
You’re too kind. Most would ask you not to encourage me!
Apologies, but the only pithy reply I can come up with is checking what condition my conditioner is in. Surely an ad agency will steal this nugget and make bank for Mickey Newbury’s estate. youtu.be/oTr72tmN7Os?...

I see you found time to go see the Blue Man Group too! 😉 Great that you're able to show your son a great time in the UK... making memories.

OK, OK, seeing as at least three people whose taste in all things cinema and telly I trust quite a lot all liked this (very much), I am now resolutely in!
Indeed. Lambeth IIRC. 🤔
I also listened back to ‘No Jacket Required’, and while it is full of ‘bangers’, the maximalist and often relentless zippiness of it all definitely made me think some Class A stuff was around (not an accusation, just my personal perception).
'Hello, I Must Be Going!' was big for me at age 10–11, while my parents were going through a divorce. Listening back (and yes, I think it holds up, along with 'Face Value') a few years ago, I realised just how many songs and lyrics are about him being a creepy stalker.
My entire feed on a 'business social media platform' seems to be made up of wannabe comedians this morning. 🤬
I hit ‘like’ without knowing what that entails. What have I become?
Gwendoline Riley’s 2026 novel ‘The Palm House’.
It’s here. 🌴
This made me very HAPPY TODAY: new music by Jeff Parker ETA IVtet imminent on @intlanthem.bsky.social!
