Also inspirational…
Was lucky enough to see Justin on the Brighton leg of the book tour. One of the most under-appreciated songwriters of the last few decades. Incredibly moving to hear him deal with Parkinson’s with such pragmatic dignity.

Godspeed to Danny Thompson. He added so much grace, beauty and guile to so many outstanding pieces of music (you could live a pretty nourishing musical life listening solely to the records he contributed to.) And an unfailingly entertaining and soulful conversationalist. One of the greats 💛
