Sad news about the passing of DJ Andy Kershaw - a huge fan of my fave US band @miracle_legion - who he often showcased on his BBC radio shows. Strangely they never met - so delighted to be present @EPfestival in 2013 when singer Mark met Andy to thank him #andyKershaw #RIP

The new Uncut with Tom Waits on the cover
Opening spread of Tom Waits feature in Uncut
I really enjoyed putting together the cover story for the new @uncutmagazine.bsky.social, where I got to talk to a whole bunch of great artists about different aspects of Tom Waits genius: songwriter, showman, storyteller, actor, avant-garde inspiration...
Oh my! Pop music at its very best. A joyous, wonderful tune.
