This.

Tonight.

@richardhawley.bsky.social at #RegentsParkOpenAirTheatre.

Soothed my soul.

Lifted my spirits.

Made me feel a little bit human again.

Magical.

Thank you #RichardHawley #ColesCorner #Sheffield #SkysEdge #Chips #Blackpool #LasVegas

Take 2, this time wearing an artist T-Shirt for @bbc6music.bsky.social #TShirtDay. I saw #Brogeal play @ivwuk.bsky.social @fulfordarms.bsky.social in York. They tore the roof of the place. We're loving seeing everyone's posts today including those for #VenueTShirtDay

Alongside artists being celebrated as part of @bbc6music.bsky.social #TShirtDay, our venues form part of our invaluable #musicecosystem and today we can all celebrate and support those that make it happen.

Sybil Bell @sybilivw.bsky.social · 20d

Bringing communities together for arts, culture and music, our @ivwuk.bsky.social and @ivcuk.bsky.social venues welcome people from all walks of life and all characteristics in their venues, on and offstage.

What a perfect T-Shirt to wear today for #VenueTShirtDay. Thanks & well done to @thegraystonunity.bsky.social for this outstanding T-Shirt. With our unwelcome visitor from the US, now more than ever we need to come together with positivity & love, something our venues offer year round #TShirtDay

Just on the Thames Path by London Bridge and couldn't agree more. The city always reveals something new, every time you explore.

A HUGE happy birthday to my wonderful, kind, very funny, knowledgeable and brilliant friend #BigJeff. I know he's not on Blue Sky (yet) but many of you know him. This picture captures our relationship perfectly. We met through our love of music, work together and have become great friends. Legend 🧡

Sybil Bell @sybilivw.bsky.social · 28d

This has got me so excited for #IVW26. We're in the thick of planning right now and can't wait to tell you all about it next month. In the meantime, we're excited to see you join in for ##VenueTShirtDay and #TShirtDay

Sybil Bell @sybilivw.bsky.social · 28d

Already thinking about which venue T-shirt I'll be wearing next Thursday. Hope you'll join in with ##VenueTShirtDay alongside @bbc6music.bsky.social #TShirtDay on Thu 18th Sept. A chance to support the whole #musicecosystem and celebrate those that give us such brilliant nights of music and culture

Independent Venue Week UK @ivwuk.bsky.social · 28d

Slow to post this but a bank holiday painting of one of my mums sunflower's in her garden.

The sky colour almost looks too bright and unrealistic but it's just as it was, a stunning clear blue #art #painting #drawing #sketching

Ironic considering Reform will defund the BBC if they get in

I'm taking my 88 year old mum who is a HUGE fan. She can't wait and is making the trip to London especially. We're heading to Rules restaurant after.

This. Needs to be amplified over and over.

The truth doesn't sell papers or serve the agenda of the right.

But the facts are there. And I have lived it.

The Secret Barrister @barristersecret.bsky.social · Aug 4

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.
