Walthamstow - following last night’s sold out event we asked Justin Currie of @delamitri.bsky.social to sign a few extra copies of his Sunday Times Bestelling memoir, The Tremolo Diaries for our friends at @waterstones Walthamstow. Recommended. @newmodernbooks.bsky.social @peteselby.bsky.social

An excellent electroclash feature, featuring Larry Tee, Peaches, Jonny Slut and the time Cilla Black apparently turned up at Nag Nag Nag. Just one of my favourite ever times for music, horny and funny and queer; daft and deadly serious all at once. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

The Tremolo Diaries tour hits Walthamstow. Justin Currie’s Sunday Times Bestseller is an essential read. Big thanks to a sell-out, knowledgable, rapt audience. Fantastic chairing by Alexis Petridis. @newmodernbooks.bsky.social @peteselby.bsky.social

Come and spend a night in Debsey’s wonderful company. Book chat, rare film screening, teenage daydreams

This is lovely. Horace Andy & band perform for Tiny Desk in Adrian Sherwood's front room. It's also given me a chance to ponder the inspiring life choices Adrian Sherwood has been making all his adult life. Excited about going to see him at the Barbican in Feb. www.patreon.com/posts/lot-to...
