Very sad to hear about Jennifer Johnston today. She was a great friend to the Lyric and to the Tinderbox family over many years. Straight talking, generous, wise and encouraging, her contribution to the wider arts landscape was immense…

Was happy to join @markcarruthers7.bsky.social and John Campbell in studio on BBC's Red Lines today to discuss Trump and the impact he will have on Ireland, north and south.
