I’m playing a live film score to Nosferatu at Leigh Film Factory on the 24th of this month! I’ll be performing a full live set over the movie with a giant array of synths, echo units and maybe even vocals… www.leighfilmfactory.com/film.php?id=...

The next release (20th Nov) on the DiN label will be 'Capstone' (DiN98), a 2CD album from the concert I performed alongside @flcartographer.bsky.social & @sulkrooms.bsky.social in Liverpool on 25th April at the Capstone Theatre in Liverpool including our epic 3-way jam session at the end of the gig.

Who is going to see @cabaretvoltaire.bsky.social on the 18th in Glasgow?

This memoir by @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social is a fascinating read that I picked up after @clairhotgem.bsky.social mentioned it in her newsletter. The piece about Trilogie de Mort really resonated with me as it has helped me a lot in dealing with stress and anxiety in the last year

First put it on while sat on a train yesterday, winding through the Sussex hills with a couple of tears gently rolling along too - not for any deeper reason other than it's a natural response to the music. Really is something special.

I might have missed this if it hadn't been for @clairhotgem.bsky.social. Beautiful album - spiritual, experimental, unlike anything else I've heard this year. It would have been released on Optimo but thankfully Invisible Inc were able to step in as this deserves a wider audience.

Trump loves the poorly educated. Why? Because they vote for him. If we look for best practice in education we should look to the country which tops the international tables for literacy & numeracy.

Remind yourself who your showbiz mates are and who are your real friends.Lack of expectations helps prevent disappointment.

Actually mad how much the older Tony Blair has a Brink’s-Mat face. If you ignore the clothes and voice just look at his face…Bar owner in Gibraltar (‘Gib!’ Etc) Cutting up kilos of coke in the kitchen surrounded by industrial/‘catering’ cash and carry tins of beans, jamon and ‘1000 bags’ tea etc.

I'm Jewish. I condemn genocide. I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide. The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.
