Dublin. Bloomsday. From the Martello tower to Glasnevin Cemetery, James Joyce remembered. “As you are now, so once we were.”
Cork. One for all you Sultans Of Ping FC fans out there…”I like a manifesto…let’s put it to the test-o…”
Cork. Glad to see local music history alive and well and celebrated...
Sugar, Electric Bristol. Back together after 30 years. Glorious. Also, wall-to-wall with lumberjack shirts, cargo shorts and Timberland boots.
A lost Thursday at Hauser & Wirth Menorca. Joyful.
Wishing everyone a successful Upfest 2026. Excited by Melo as lead artist, looking forward to new work by Audrey Kawasaki, Cheba, Andy Council and many others - and nothing raises the spirits like a new Inkie taking shape on the side of Parsons Bakery.
Menorca nights. Current soundtrack: Ministry Of Sound Chillout Sessions, volume two (2001). Current mood: ambient.
A very useful day in Exeter, hearing from the city’s creative workforce about individual and collective future ambitions. Glad to make a first visit to the impressive Positive Light, to catch up with local NPOs at the Phoenix, and always good to be back at @rammuseum.bsky.social. Thanks everyone.
A useful day in Barnstaple - a visit to the Museum of Barnstaple & North Devon; a chance to see how Boutport Studios are progressing, and an Area Council meeting expertly hosted by the Queen’s Theatre. Thanks everyone.
