John Douglas 1963-2026. Sending all my love to Eddi, Frank, Stephen, Paul, Davy and all of John's co-travellers in life.
“Robert Burns said, ‘You’ve got to rivet words together just to hear them clang.’ That always stuck with me.” John Douglas (1963-2026) | Pete Paphides
Oh God. Not John? Surely not John? To the best of my knowledge John had never done anything as shocking, anything as dramatic as this. Low-k

An absolute pleasure to be working with Nick on his long overdue autobiography. An incredible songwriter, a soul searching memoirist and a lovely bloke. ‘Fantastic Days’ is out in November tr.ee/HlfsLGV7S0
Wham! 10 Days in China @macrobertarts.bsky.social (Stirling Uni, home to Lindsay Anderson archive). Film uses Anderson's unseen doc footage to show non-communication between band & Chinese authorities, between band & UK press (Andrew's contempt quite something) & between band & Anderson himself.
Reading @nigetassell.bsky.social's soon-come, v moreish Truly Gifted Kids (out Aug 13). Play Swoon as soundtrack. Always struck by last lines of I Never Play Basketball Now: "But no one knows how long things stay big Roger D." Google "Big Roger D" ... That was a mistake.
Very happy to be included in The Herald's ‘Best pop music books of 2026’. Even more happy that my book was described as: “Probably the quietest book here, but also the one that lingered longest with me”. Thank you, @teddyjamieson.bsky.social
Britishness came out of a history “where Scottish people and English people needed to forgive 500 years of warfare,” says @davidolusoga.bsky.social. “It was always an identity designed to paper over differences." @heraldscotland.bsky.social @teddyjamieson.bsky.social

"He'd have done. He's all right." Brenda Fricker in Pat O'Connor's adaptation of The Ballroom of Romance (1982). She could have walked out of a William Trevor short story. Maybe she did. RIP
