Am so looking forward to hosting this talk with Bob and Pete from Saint Etienne. Do come along if you can! Their new album out TODAY.

hi! Thanks to all who came to the Nicky Wire @Manics and Valerie Philips talk at Rough Trade East on Monday. It was an enlightening and very funny chat about Valerie's beautiful photography book Little Baby Nothings. Buy it for the jacuzzi shots!

If you watched Boybands Forever on BBC iPlayer, well worth reading this letter from Robbie Williams this morning www.instagram.com/p/DCd76Fpu_F...

had a great time at the Louder Than Words literary festival in manchester. lovely people. good talks. here's a photo of me talking to will hodgkinson and lawrence about Street Level Superstar...

If you hurry to Rough Trade you can pick up an extremely limited ‘what happened next…’ chapter of the Book of the Year in which @sian-superman.bsky.social draws some wildly varying reflections out of Will and Lawrence and I exploit the inclusion of footnotes to dispel a few myths

today i saw julia hartley brewer loudly berate a deliveroo-ish cyclist who was riding on the pavement. #news
