I asked the lovely rambling, drawing, sweary idea merchant @mr-bingo.bsky.social to endorse my book last year. He was hard at it making art, but STILL had the time to write me this lovely note. Visit his shop, buy his art, bring him cake.

As we remember David on his birthday, this is lovely news. And it’s great to know that it’s in such caring and diligent hands. They really don’t come any better than Geoffrey Marsh and the rest of the team who are looking after this culturally enriching project. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...

On lunch breaks I've been roaming London bookshops seeing if they want me to sign books. Mine, mostly. Possibly illegal, otherwise. Chuffed to Bowie bits the legendary @stanfordstravel.bsky.social have copies. Their road maps saved me when I got lost six billion times. Signed copies in-store now!

Thanks to everyone who braved subzero Walthamstow for a dive into the Bowie-verse with @annadoble.bsky.social and @rnrbook-club.bsky.social. Mother's Ruin serving up the good stuff with some Norfolk sloes in their Bowie themed booze!

Heard about an Irish scheme that pays £70k to anyone willing to set up home on an offshore island – so felt duty-bound to go and scope out a couple... www.cyclingweekly.com/travel/irish...

🆕 20 November WALTHAMSTOW JAMES BRIGGS - From Ibiza To the Norfolk Broads - A Bowie Odyssey in conversation with @annadoble.bsky.social 🎟️ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1810140421... @laurenlaverne.bsky.social

Honoured to be on Lauren Laverne's 6music show talking Bowie and From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads from around midday. With thanks producers Matt and Shola, and Lauren for having me on. Proper 6music fanboy moment 🙂

One whole week of From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads 🙂 Six whole days of covid for the first time 🙃

Delighted with the first review of From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads which saw former Observer book reviewer @beneast.bsky.social make his own Bowie pilgrimage to thoughtfully consider the story.

From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads is published today! Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen and the biggest thank you of all to David Robert Jones - aka David Bowie. You made some mighty fine records and you made my childhood dream come true.

Thursday 16th October! Chatting Bowie and bikes with award-winning travel writer Daniel Stables at the iconic Battersea Power Station (and how we both ended up namechecking Mr Blobby in our books..). Do join! Tickets: www.batterseabookshop.com/event-from-i...

Delighted to be sharing the pages of this week's @cyclingweekly.com with the disgustingly better looking Geraint Thomas as I write about what I learnt cycling @davidbowiereal.bsky.social's lyric 'From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads. Thanks to @dbfreelance.co.uk

Had fun editing this: @jamesbriggs11.bsky.social making the case for cycling a song lyric, citing his 'midlife-crisis-fuelled' ride from Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads... via Moscow, naturally In the current issue of @cyclingweekly.com

On Wednesday, a great friend, Lee, wrote to Lauren Laverne to tell her about the Bowie tome. Couldn't have been more surprised and overjoyed when she read it out on 6music. Love you mate. So glad you came along for the ride. And thanks to Lauren Laverne for her dulcet delivery. Ou est le Bowie!

An eloquent, insightful and heartfelt reflection on 13 years as the Observe book critic. And the mostly lovely of ways to find out your book won't be reviewed in the Observer.

Bowie holds a narrow lead, but who will be Christmas number one? Bananarama and Brother Beyond waiting in the wings to mount a serious challenge.

Thank you ever so much to the lovely @markradcliffe.bsky.social for offering some kind words about my Bowie escapade.

Thanks to Deskbound Traveller for a lovely write-up on my David Bowie book in his latest dispatches from the desk. deskboundtraveller.com/following-bo...

Not nearly enough bike reviews include useful summaries like: "sturdy enough to withstand the weight of my blossoming moobs" 😂 @jamesbriggs11.bsky.social

New Nacho: the complete & wonderfully restored Musikladen performance, a highlight of the 1978 tour: youtu.be/L9EVdLeBkSI?...

Thanks for everything, Sonny. We love you.
