Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶
RIP George Fenton, forget the prestigous movie themes and Oscar nominations. You gave us moody guitar noodling and accordians as our sunday evening soundtrack. youtu.be/1y5E63jGT2I?...

It was my thirtieth year to heaven Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood And the mussel pooled and the heron- Priested shore… ‘Poem in October’ by Dylan Thomas bit.ly/2LCkbTy
Really sad to hear of the death of @annapicard.bsky.social, who I only knew on the other place and then here, but who I nevertheless felt I knew. A great loss to music and writing.

Glasgow has an amazing number of plaques and memorial, with many different designs, but this is one of my favourites. I especially like the shape and the sculpted hand. Cont./ #glasgow #memorial #williamprimrose #plaque #viola

Mamdani coming out and saying with his full chest that opera is great and should be for everyone as Lisa Nandy focus-groups herself to a post on X saying that, on balance, we should consider supporting the idea of rugby league

Getting ready to tune in to tonight's BBC SSO season launch concert. It's my daughter's first broadcast: she's been clambering over the net in the ceiling of City Halls, wearing a hard hat and hanging mics, and doing mic checks for Kate Molleson, can't quite take it in www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

I'm making a documentary about the RLNI situation and I am contacting various organisations. However I thought I'd turn to bluesky as well, I'm looking to interview people either connected to the RNLI, to refugees/those working with refugees and also with counter-protestors. Please share.
Anita Brookner, talking with typically beautiful clarity about writing (from the superb biography by Hermione Lee).
In a world where we're told to deny ourselves to be beautiful, especially if you grew up in the 90s, there is something air-punchingly wonderful about seeing Nigella absolutely shovelling cake into her mouth, this is the beauty standard to which I aspire #GBBO
