Love Is A Wonderful Colour - The Icicle Works.

Our introduction to the remarkable talent of Ian McNabb; still making great records BTW. That they weren't massive is another classic rock 'n' roll tale of bad timing, record company nonsense etc.

Omid Djalili's defence is akin to claiming that Queen and Cliff Richard playing Sun City brought about the end of apartheid. Also - being charitable - his final sentence is woefully ill considered. 'Disappointing' doesn't even come close.

I have been criticised for being part of the Riyadh comedy festival. This is why I did it | Omid Djalili

The headlines focus on money, but the gigs were great and I think there are different ways to achieve progress. Art, especially comedy, can be part of that, says stand-up comedian, Omid Djalili.

I'd love to know what every comedian who played the Riyadh Comedy Festival thinks of this piece by Jonathan Liew. It's an electrifying read. And really hard to think what any counter-justification from the participating comics would consist of. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We know what the comedians got out of the Riyadh comedy festival. What about the Saudi regime? | Jonathan Liew

The tawdry event was an ultimately doomed attempt by the Saudi government to buy the kind of authentic grassroots culture it is unwilling to countenance, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

The best thing I've discovered recently is that Martha and I were born on the same day! Very chuffed with that. 😎

That's very kind of you! 😊

I do have about nine minutes of 'Everything Flows' from this show, during which Brendan and Norman swapped instruments. Absolutely bonkers (and brilliant, of course). 😎

Not even side 4 of 'Some Time in New York City'? To be clear I am not suggesting this is essential listening in any way! 😎

I'm louder than Norman in parts of this video, sorry. @durutti74.bsky.social will confirm this is a perennial problem if you let me accompany you to see the Fannies! 🤦‍♂️🤣

You're all mad. It has to be a 15 minute version of Broken, surely?!

Who is playing Norman? That's my main question. I'll have more time on my hands soon (cough, cough)... 🤣

Our Lips Are Sealed - Fun Boy Three.

As I promised two days ago, one of the greatest songs ever. An extraordinary view from the inside of a doomed love affair.

RIP Terry, thanks for everything. 🙏

This evil nonsense happened to me on Ticketmaster for McCartney last year. Unconscionable. Avoided them this morning and was very, very lucky on GigsAndTours instead. Sorry, no consolation I realise - the point is, I know how you feel.
