Lily Allen 🩷 New album theatre show … simply wonderful. Oh if only we could all vent our true feelings of bad breakups and horrid people via best selling records hey?

FIN! Wow, what a brilliant tour. Wonderful to be back together on the road again, had much fun on and off stage. A lot of work to make this happen so I’m made up with the packed out shows! Lovely to see friends along the way … this particular tour was very important to me for lots of reasons 🩷 🥁

@nightingalesuk.bsky.social on top form tonight at the C&F Brum. Loved Jim’s riffage and @flisskitson.bsky.social’s beats and for me the highlight was Natalie as an equal and energetic member. Her voice complemented Fliss’s and her viola brings a new dimension to the band’s sound. Wunderbar!

Nightingales tour continues tonight at London MOTH Club & it’s just about to sell out so hurrah for that!
