Hey Beautiful People Tonight, @forwardprizes.bsky.social takes place at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Mum Does The Washing is up for Best Single Poem Performed. Whatever happens, I'm so proud of it, and so humbled and frankly gassed at how far it's flown. Have a great Sunday everyone.

'There's an interpersonal feeling that poetry does so well, where you think you’re having a solitary experience, but then you write it down and perform it, and someone's like, no, me too!' @bellacox.bsky.social and @joshuaidehen.bsky.social in conversation: thelondonmagazine.org/interview-fo...

And I've mentioned this before but @joshuaidehen.bsky.social taps right into this... "REAL abundance"? vibe. It's right there in our hands, it always was.

The liberal elite delusion that police are broadly on the side of truth and justice has put us all in existential danger.

New single and video from @joshuaidehen.bsky.social, hot on the heels of his Jools Holland performance. Josh has a phone conversation between his London and Stockholm selves. youtu.be/2yzrDWCzPh8?...

Hey Beautiful People My debut album I Know You're Hurting Everybody's Hurting Everybody's Trying You Have Got To Try Is coming via @heavenlyrecordings.bsky.social March 6, 2026. Here is a snippet of a video for the first single It Always Was

Hey ya I'm on Jools Holland this Sunday 10pm UK time. Come through

"If I'm convincing men that it's okay to talk about stuff and it's okay to feel and I'm showing them a glimpse of what a better world can look like, then I'm winning," @joshuaidehen.bsky.social tells @reuters.com in our latest Culture Current. Read the full Q&A: www.reuters.com/lifestyle/jo...

I’m gonna be honest. I was whelmed by Superman. Felt like I was watching the second, actiony half of a decent super hero movie.

Pack it up guys, forced diversity is real

Happy Mothers Day (USA edition)(Except the mothers who voted from Trump)

Happy Mother's Day to all moms in the USA. Please, if you have time in your no doubt busy schedule, take a few mins to listen to this excellent allegoryical song about the value of women's work. It's also fun, I promise. #speirgorm #mothersday @joshuaidehen.bsky.social youtu.be/PS9Bc_GQBEs?...

I'm supporting Baxter Dury on his November tour. Will be really nice, that

SPOILER FOR SINNERS I have a question When Michael B Jordan killed the main vampire and ask the other vampires died... Whyyyyy didn't his brother?

Went to see @joshuaidehen.bsky.social perform last night - first night out since my mastectomy. Didn’t know there’d be so much DANCING. Loved every minute. Life affirming stuff ❤️

Last Week @joshuaidehen.bsky.social didn’t just walk on Brighton water he danced on the wall #Patterns #LudwigParment with the sone sweet sweet sax sounds 🎹 #BigWednesday I cannot recommend enough to go see them live - I am still smiling and still dancing Brighton loves you come back 🔜

Joyous @joshuaidehen.bsky.social at Patterns tonight. Quite possibly the gig of the year. #MumDoesTheWashing

There has never been a better time to live in a left wing echo chamber. There is not one idea that has come from the right in decades that deserves respect or even rebuttal. We are living on a warming planet with actual problems and none of them are solved by regressing into imagined cultural safety

My tik tok was hacked So fuck it. Let them have it. Here's a chance to reintroduce myself Hi, I'm Joshua Idehen. I do poetry with music sometimes. Follow me here www.tiktok.com/@joshuaidehe...

If you see this post your Lock Screen.”

Have you given our latest episode a listen yet? @joshuaidehen.bsky.social talks about Dizzee Rascal's "Boy In Da Corner". #music #musicpodcast #grimemusic #DizzeeRascal

My favourite film genre 1. Just before the zombieoutbreak 2. Dinner party at the apocalypse 3. The world's about to end but no one will believe me. 4. It's a detective movie but the secret end villain is a lovecraftian elder God 5. A well thought out &acted found footage movie 6. The devil wins

What if Osama Bin Laden was inspired by Star Wars as a kid but didn't know only white religious fanatics can commit genocide acts ash's be seen as heroes?

Big shout out to the person of the revolution : The dancer who risked it all to wave the Palestinian flag at Kendrick lemar's performance

It was absolutely a "I will forward this to everyone immediately" sort of moment. Delighted.

Oh my gosh everyone should listen to @joshuaidehen.bsky.social live session on @maryannehobbs.bsky.social show (being covered by Jamz Supanova) this morning. What a genius poet.

This @joshuaidehen.bsky.social session on BBC 6 Music is awesome. First time hearing him, and it won't be the last. Incredible and thought provoking music. Love it.

Thank you @joshuaidehen.bsky.social , I heard your work for the first time today on 6Music - it was great & very moving!

Take 5 minutes out for some gentle wisdom. Rest yourself. Be more @joshuaidehen.bsky.social (or more Keanu) youtu.be/eNmxddPMU8Y

‘Throw Britain / in the wash, in the end / I remain’ 😮‍💨 my world has expanded thanks to @joshuaidehen.bsky.social and Bad Betty Press - even when it has come at poetry from a very different angle than I would, I urge you to check it out in full. And then make a playlist…
