Do we know where her papers ended up? Hopefully they are somewhere, even if unprocessed.

Defo! I recall the Regeneration-era gigs which always felt at a bit of a distance…much more joy nowadays.

Would make for an amazing supergroup with The Beautiful South. Who would be the spooky half?

His voice is on top form - apparently the switch to a pipe helped? 🙃

A wee video from last night - Our Mutual Friend is now immersive! As always, amazing stuff from @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social.

See you again in Glasgow! (Well, and Dublin, but that’s ages away).

And the real reason I’m in London - it’s almost @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social time! Great to see so many friends again at the Barbican.

Never figured it out. It was either corporate mandated fun or a cult, not sure which. Possibly both.

You should see the Canadian who was Wrong About Ireland last week (and stuck to it for days). It was epic!

#31DaysOfHalloween Day 11 - a brand-new acquisition! In London this weekend, so staying on-theme with An Opinionated Guide to Haunted London. That’s a half, so it’s a wee book.

There EXTREMELY CHEERFUL people with name tags upstairs in the pub I’m trying to be calm and solo in downstairs. I am EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS of EXTREMELY CHEERFUL people with labels…

There are now multiple locations all over London, but this is the OG Fitzrovia one. I keep trying to manifest a Dublin location into existence with no success.
