I asked the lovely rambling, drawing, sweary idea merchant @mr-bingo.bsky.social to endorse my book last year. He was hard at it making art, but STILL had the time to write me this lovely note. Visit his shop, buy his art, bring him cake.

David Bowie’s childhood home to open to the public for first time The London house where Bowie, then David Jones, lived from 1955 to 1968 will be opened at the end of 2027

As we remember David on his birthday, this is lovely news. And it’s great to know that it’s in such caring and diligent hands. They really don’t come any better than Geoffrey Marsh and the rest of the team who are looking after this culturally enriching project.

Congratulations, Nick. What a line-up!

Congratulations!

On lunch breaks I've been roaming London bookshops seeing if they want me to sign books. Mine, mostly. Possibly illegal, otherwise. Chuffed to Bowie bits the legendary @stanfordstravel.bsky.social have copies. Their road maps saved me when I got lost six billion times. Signed copies in-store now!

Thanks to everyone who braved subzero Walthamstow for a dive into the Bowie-verse with @annadoble.bsky.social and @rnrbook-club.bsky.social. Mother's Ruin serving up the good stuff with some Norfolk sloes in their Bowie themed booze!
