RIP, Robert Redford.

Brilliant documentary last night about Twiggy, directed by Sadie Frost. Twiggy’s talent in so many areas is astonishing, as is her inner strength and always a wonderful person ❤️Great footage throughout. Thanks @bsgorrie.bsky.social for heads up on this.

Farewell to brilliant Alison Balsom 🎺 A superb performance tonight at the Proms & what a fantastic career! Wishing her well for the future ☀️

This is excellent. Helen is a wonderful person

I loved this record so much I wrote the NME gossip column in the style of This Is What She's Like. Maybe if I'd done the parody after the album came out instead a week before, people might have appreciated it more.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys is 40 today, the same day they premiered Listen to This on the Wogan show. In 2022, @oharaviolin.bsky.social very kindly told me about her integral part in Dexys and on this extraordinary album. #FirstLastAnything

Happy 40th birthday to Don’t Stand Me Down Always thankful to Jack Hazan, the team and Kevin Rowland’s vision for the 3 films This Is What She’s Like/Knowledge of Beauty/Listen To This Beautiful Brilliant & Timeless 💜

Read all about Don't Stand Me Down in Helen O'Hara's memoir What's She Like, which gives a comprehensive account of the album from conception to completion and beyond.

Released 40 years ago today, how it all came about could fill a book. Soon forgotten at the time by all but a few. Always grateful for the love still out there though, what a difference (a mere) four decades makes 😄

Don’t Stand Me Down is 40 today 🎂 From what I hear the original album on vinyl/cd is no longer available which is a real shame. A lovely chat with Chris Madden about the making of the album below

Have a lovely weekend everyone ❤️☀️

Thank you Ian for your lovely words 😊 🧡 🎻

It's record club TONIGHT with an evening dedicated to Dexys Midnight Runners and their classic lost album Don't Stand Me Down, including special video contributions from band members @oharaviolin.bsky.social and @kevadams.bsky.social. Glossop Labour Club, 8pm. Music starts at 8.30. See you there!

My new single ‘Lover Don’t Come Around’ is out Fri 19 Sept! It takes me back to writing my debut Ancient Heart as a teen, with echoes of the early Beatles I grew up on. My new album ‘LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right)’, is out Oct 10. Pre-save: TTikaram.lnk.to/LDCA

Absolutely lovely. Best thing I’ve read today.

Coming soon to a record store near you! Super excited to do this one together with @oharaviolin.bsky.social - we’ll see you there! 🎶☀️ Link in bio for tickets 🎫

Alison Balsom is one of my favourite musicians. Totally understand her reasons for putting the trumpet down. I’ll be watching her final performance and wish her well for the future 💛☀️
