One of the best things I’ve seen so far this year. A total tonic. I didn’t stop laughing (even when I had to participate 🫠).

Spent this morning with lots of great people who are doing lots of great cultural things in Gloucester. Really energising to see the impact ACE funding can have.

“Material Worlds: Contemporary Artists and Textiles” from the Hayward Gallery has arrived at The Wilson in Cheltenham and it’s a wonderful exploration of textiles in contemporary art. Really want (need) the wallpaper by Marc Camille Chaimowicz.

The kids offer is SO good. Kiddo enjoyed loads of stuff alongside the music (although he is still slightly undecided on the ferris wheel). @greenmanfest.bsky.social

Really enjoyed hearing Kelly Lee Owens in conversation with @huwstephensdj.bsky.social - included an excellent discussion about the value of music venues and record shops.

That was WONDERFUL! Underworld, Beth Gibbons, CMAT, TV On The Radio, Jacob Alon, Jasmine.4.T…so much good stuff.
Also, I didn’t know Perfume Genius had covered Mazzy Star’s Fade Into You and hearing that live was a total highlight. Thank you @greenmanfest.bsky.social. See you next year. 💚
