I had a nice chat recently with Rob Hughes about Laura Nyro for the recent issue of @uncutmagazine.bsky.social. Some of you might remember that I wrote a song about Laura many moons ago and I was very privileged to be able to see her perform in the 90s so it was lovely being able to talk about her.

Five years ago today, @innerstrings.bsky.social filmed this beautifully simple video for Cheval Sombre’s ‘It’s Not Time’ in Lewes. A couple hundred miles away, I saw the same sunset after my mum’s socially distanced funeral. It remains one of the most profoundly moving things I’ve ever seen.
