RIP Diane Keaton

Thank you for literally lighting up the screen and gifting us with a lifetime of unforgettable performances.
Hollywood has lost a truly unique star ⭐

Today, I will mainly be watching #AnnieHall

Saw them support the Pogues a few months ago. A great live band and attitude!

A simply divine evening with @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social at the Barbican, spent sumptuously immersed in two hours of exquisite, emotionally intelligent songwriting, cinematic storytelling and lush orchestral arrangements.

Beautiful Brutalism at the Barbican.

90’s when I used to work inside the Barbican Centre)

That was such a beautiful evening with Edwyn Collins at the Royal Festival Hall. Will share some more pics and vids tomorrow, but here's one of Paul Cook, Edwyn, Dennis Bovell and Vic Godard at the end of the show

What an emotional and euphoric evening with the estimable @edwyncollins.bsky.social

The Royal Festival Hall was positively bursting with love for this inspirational man. Joyous and utterly life-affirming.

As long as there is Edwyn, there is hope …

That was exactly the same word I said to my friend the moment that EC left the stage. A very special night.
