Oakwell is a glorious wonderful old relic from a time when football was for the masses (we can relate).

Proper stuff.

We lost 5-0 and are the worst football team in the world.

I haven’t seen us win away for 955 days.

It’s taken me so long to get round to watching this.

Such a beautiful film. Made me grateful, scared, aware and yearn for the Orkney Islands!

Saoirse Ronan utterly devastating. Stephen Dillane transformative as always.

Buzzed to catch 'The Chaos That Has Been and Will no Doubt Return' by Sam Edmunds. A love story and searing epic narrative about one of the most troubled melting pots in the land.

Bravo @chalklinetheatre

Fabulous morning at the Devon & Exeter Institution.

Love when work takes me to these places.

Combining a library, reading room, county museum and venue for public lectures.

Huge thanks to the volunteers for welcoming us in.

I’m in the West Country for the next few weeks.
Exeter and a bit of Cornwall.
It’s been about 8 years since I last worked down here.
Hit me up with any recommendations of what I should be doing/seeing/where eating etc.x

Anyone that knows me will tell you how much this movie means to me.

This book gets in to the nitty gritty nuts and bolts of the days Michael J Fox shot episode of ‘Family Ties’ in the day and ‘Back to the Future’ at night.
I get diary entries to the minute and costume fittings for goodness sake.

Loved this.

‘There I was, walking the city late at night, doing my monologues from O’Neill and Shakespeare on the dark, silent streets, usually in back of warehouses. New York gave me the cool nights and the gift of empty streets to practice on.’

Back in the studio for ‘F1 Generations’ by Frank Worrall.

A deep dive into the worlds of Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris and George Russell.

In awe of playwrights. Such an unbelievably difficult skill to intertwine and fulfil 10 character arcs.

Mark O Rowe has delivered ‘Reunion’ so beautifully.

One of those nights when we all say what’s in our hearts. Prob shouldn’t but prob for the best.

First time at the beautiful Gaiety Theatre.

Delighted that my first experience of watching a play in Dublin is ‘Poor’ by Katriona O’Sullivan @gatetheatredublin.bsky.social

This famous theatre had its roof blown off by this phenomenal production.

A difficult but important watch.

Irish theatre at its very best.

Revenge:After the Levoyah!

Managed to catch it on tour at the wicked @southstreetarts prior to going into @sohotheatre main house for a 6 week run in December.

Nick Cassenbaum has written an insanely epic and hilarious 60 min adventure.

This is so so good. Book up.
