A large bright red fixture spelling SPY outside a dark grey modern building.
I missed it yesterday, I've been a little out of sorts 😪 ,but here is a very late entry for #SundayPixEntertainment
A very excellent museum in DC with interaction all the way through.
Seven musicians are squatting on a stripped rug the floor with their instruments: drums, a stringed instrument of some sort, percussion shakers, some just clapping the rhythm. Wearing long white robes and white head coverings. Their shoes are placed on the floor in front of them. A couple of villagers watch them from the open door on the left. Behind them a couple of children are watching through an unglazed window with open shutters.
#SundayPixEntertainment
More amazing musicians, and an incredible memory: Gnaoua musicians who we visited at their village in Morocco 🇲🇦 and had a private performance from them. Magical.

One of the most entertaining things I experienced in Gambia was thanks to nature, watching these tiny golden weaver birds darting about, building their nests with long strips of grass.
Each nest is a suspended globe with the entrance hole below, so rats/snakes can’t get in.
A musician in a brown/white patterned tunic is sitting cross-legged on the floor holding his kora in front of him. A kora is a large dried gourd cut in half and decorated, with a pole attached and strings like a harp. The bar behind him is decorated with a large painting of a colourful green and black bird.
#SundayPixEntertainment
A kora player in a bar we visited up-river in Gambia. I’d not heard of that instrument before, but it was very beautiful.
#SundayPixEntertainment
Gambian 🇬🇲 singers & musicians practising on the terrace for a recording at the eco-lodge where I was staying. They were very, very good. Atmospheric with the jungle surrounding them.

Round the fire in the evening on the banks of the Nile — my belly dancing classes came in handy! Our boatmen by day became our drummers by night. (Supposed to be a video, but it kept sending an error message)
Men are seated cross-legged on the floor of a low stage, each with a colourful double-headed drum horizontally between their legs so they can beat the rhythm at either end, left and right

Drummers giving a show on a small island in the Maldives 🇲🇻
A large stage full of colourful performers representing a circus
The same stage. The colourful performers are standing at the edges while acrobats wearing black perform centre stage and in aerial gymnastics with hoops suspended high above.
The many colourful performers (50 or more?) are all gathered in a tight circle towards the back of the stage. The orchestra is in the pit in front of the stage.
The performers line up at the end to take a bow. Some of the balconies and orchestra can also be seen.
#SundayPixEntertainment
Some travel ones now…
A performance of Pagliacci at the oldest opera house in the world, Teatro do San Carlo, in Naples.
Live circus acts included — it was mind blowing!
A band on a small stage. Man in striped shirt on guitar, pretty blonde singer in black/gold dress with ukulele, another man on drums.
#SundayPixEntertainment
My friend Jac with her (former) band — she’s the one who did a sweary punk version of ‘Walk On By’ at a Christmas karaoke 😆
And my old boss on drums.

Stun s'l singing at Falmouth shanty festival 2025 (+crowd participation).
A backyard chicken, staring into the camera with head cocked to the side.
I'm honestly not sure who was more entertained here, me watching the unexpected chicken the B&B located in the heart of Louisville & laughing wildly, or the chicken eyeballing the demented tourists. 😆

A bronze sculpture of a woman in a dress, sitting on the ground with an open book on her lap. There's a young boy leaning over her shoulder, pointing at the book, and two other children sitting in front of them, listening intently. Bare tree branches surround them; the tan brick wall of the library is behind them, and golden sunshine pours over the scene at a late day angle.
#SundayPixEntertainment
Highly appropriate sculpture for just outside a library, no? 😀
Cedar Park, Texas, US
Silhouette view of the Colorado River, a bridge with a long line of people, and a building, with a honey-golden light from the setting sun.
All those people lined up on Congress Avenue bridge, waiting for the start of the nightly exodus of the bats living underneath the bridge.

Paul Weller singing and playing the guitar. He's wearing sunglasses and a pale blue t-shirt.
Now that's #SundayPixEntertainment. Paul Weller on stage at Westonbirt Arboretum 2024.
Paul wearing a blue anorak and blue shorts holding the microphone in his right hand and pointing at the audience.

Walked into the grocery store yesterday, heard these guys playing, and immediately tracked them down to listen to them. They played off & on for about 45 minutes and yes, I danced through the store while shopping! 😀

#LiveMusic
On stage at KOKO (used to be Camden Palais) in 2014. The spotlight is on ED. Also in shot are Cello Guiliani (bass), Mako (guitar), Alexis Anérilles (keyboards).
On stage at La Philharmonie de Paris with Arnold Turboust. The lights behind them are jade green.
The Daho Show Paris 2024. The set has lighting effects of blue clouds with white clouds to the side of and above Etienne and the band.
Etienne and Jean-Louis Pierot on stage at Fridge Brixton (or whatever they are calling it nowadays) during the Blitz tour. They are wearing black with black Zorro eye masks (no idea) and the lights are red. J-L is playing the guitar.
Some Etienne Daho for #SundayPixEntertainment
Pidgeon has her back to the camera, and her head tilted sharply to the right as she stares intently at a cicada clinging to the screen outside the window.
Her head is now tilted to the left, revealing the white fur on the underside of her throat. The cicada is still there, but difficult to see through the glare on the glass.
She's now reaching up with her white-tipped left paw, tapping at the window. Shortly after few, the cicada flew off.
#SundayPixEntertainment
Pidgeon found this cicada to be quite entertaining until it flew away.
Green smoke billows out of the mouth and nose of a red and black dragon head. The head is wielded by a partly hidden person.
#SundayPixEntertainment
I've used this photo before for #SundayPix, I think. However, what's more entertaining than a smoking dragon?

@wombat37.bsky.social Falmouth week fireworks finale🤤
Drone metal band Sunn O))) on stage at the Barbican Centre, London. They're all wearing hooded robes, like monks, with Sunnhenge (as I call it) behind them. Sunnhenge is a semi-circle of Marshall amps that go all the way to 11. They're drenched in yellow and red light, and swirling dry ice. Never go see this band and sit/stand at the front: all you see is dry ice!
Sunnhenge (a semi-circle of Marshall amps) awaits drone metal outfit Sunn O))) at London's Southbank Centre. There's a low reddish light behind the amps, and white lights above. You can just make out a stack of speakers high above the audience to the right. Sunn O))) weren't the loudest band this night. That honour went to Phurpa, a mid-western group who played Buddhist drone and rattled the lights loose!
My Bloody Valentine on stage in Hammersmith, London. The crowd make up two-thirds of the pic, and are lit by the stage lights from behind the band. These guys are also loud in concert. In fact, you're not allowed in without ear protection as they turn everything up to full volume for maximum impact. Shoegaze as a sonic weapon!
Slowdive at Terminal 5, New York. The venue was once storage for the docks. The lighting is above the band and almost gives the impression of an ornate building. On closer inspection it reveals itself to be air-conditioning pipes and infrastructure!
Last lot for #SundayPixEntertainment Sunn O))) at the Barbican and Southbank Centre, My Bloody Valentine in Hammersmith, and Slowdive in NY.
Two couples waltz around a Parisian street market. The stalls were selling all kinds of bric-a-brac and antiques. Somewhere, a gramaphone player provided the soundtrack, and couples got up and danced spontaneously, and with joy.
Further up the street, I found this jazz quartet/quintet. The Buddy Guy something or other, I think. I bought a couple of CDs. Here, the singer's playing a 12-string acoustic guitar and behind him there's a man in a white hat with a saxophone and another in a grey hat with a trumpet.
At the top of the street was a little square full of cafes. The couple here were busking. She has an acoustic guitar and he's on percussion with a large drum/bongo (hard to tell as it's side-on). They're enjoying a moment of relaxation here, chatting with each other. She's got a huge smile on her face.
While looking for pics for today's #SundayPixEntertainment, I found some of buskers and dancers I took as I strolled around Paris one sunny Sunday morning some time back.
They're not the best pics, but guess what the street's name was, @happymouffetard.bsky.social Quelle coincidence!
Green and red Dragon dancers delighting children outside a gorgeous City Hall.
