Well, they're normally balm to any storm, so I'm sure this one won't be any different.

Oh my word, they were enjoying themselves so much and the new songs fitted so well. Best of luck to them. They seem like sound folks.

They were great live a couple of weeks ago. I was so glad I was able to revisit their debut album after so many years.

To be fair, that does seem like the sort of thing he’d do but but Glasgow is 21/06 and Worcester is 21/07. They just happen to follow one another.

Another glorious BBC archive doc, this one on Mrs Fisher, or "mother Thames", who ran a fleet of tugs & barges, raised a fortune for charity, and largely seemed to have presented as a man. Incredible footage of the London docks and Thamesside power stations in 1972
