#hayfestival Ruth Jones and James Corden came across as lovely people - and very genuine and humble too. An absolute delight to hear them talking about Gavin and Stacey.

Slowdive last night. One thing that struck me is a lot of the audience is so young that even songs from self titled are welcomed like ancient classics.

Very much enjoyed Inkubus Sukubus last night. I missed playing with All Living Fear when we supported them a couple of years ago as I was unwell so great to see them.

Drop Nineteens, Bdrmm and Andy Bell records acquired, along with Simon Raymonde’s book and the live Cure on vinyl. A good days shopping.

Cocteau Twins - Exeter, 1994. I’d loved them since I was 15 but I still didn’t really appreciate how special this was. I’d assumed there would be many more times, but this was it.
