Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Thank you to everyone who came to the evenings with Pulp's Mark Webber in Hebden Bridge and Manchester. Lovely audiences both nights. More shows to come in Nottingham, Birmingham and Swansea.

Tomorrow, my second show of the autumn - hosting ITV Tour de France commentator Matt Rendell at the Chequer Mead Theatre in East Grinstead. Always a head-spinning mix of the serious, the bizarre, the thought-provoking and the hilarious. Is East Grinstead ready?! www.chequermead.co.uk/shows/matt-r...

I went to see Nina Persson and James Yorkston at St Martin's in the Field. Not sure if Nina's global hits showcased what a great singer she is - but magical to hear her voice - soft, strong, effortless - in such an intimate space, harmonising and singing lead on James' yearning and mysterious songs

Guy with a foghorn voice at next table in cafe. It's ok, I reason, maybe he's leaving soon. Look over and he has TWO full cups of coffee in front of him! Gordon Bennett. Who does that?!

Last night, Pulp played the magical-looking Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia. Next month, guitarist Mark Webber will be in equally magical #HebdenBridge @thetradesclub & #Manchester @53two telling tales from the band's unique history. @welovePulp @Pulptoday radiodaysevents.com/2025/07/01/p...

The great Man From Delmonte just made their first record for 35 years (is this a record?!) A triumphant return, pitched between The Kinks, The Monkees and some kind of Americana. Last minute of the video beautifully poignant, cutting between 1989 and 2025... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WVF...

I saw this last night - ex-casino employee does card tricks/shows gambling cheats in front of v small audience. Philosophy and sharp-talking comedy thrown in. 60 mins, no interval. Strongly recommend! sohoplace.org/shows/the-un...

Y'know I've never had a YouTube channel for my events before today. I have some full videos of old shows I will be uploading but I've started with a little promo for my Pat Nevin show in Preston in a couple of weeks... www.youtube.com/watch?v=66dh...

The dread Adam Fleming sitting in on #BBC5Live yesterday- as excited by the Reform leader's speech as a football reporter by a transfer rumour. Something's happening! It's all very exciting! But that's not really how politics should be covered, is it?

Ice cream. Surely it's: 1) Cornet 2) (long way back) cup. 3) (dead last) old-school wafer sandwich. Surely.

What a pleasure to interview Pulp's Mark Webber last night, talking about his new paperback history of the band, 'I'm with Pulp, Are You?' More shows (Swansea, Nottingham, Manchester,,,) with Mark in the autumn, after Pulp's US tour in September. Thanks to the lovely audience who came to #Chiswick!

This performance of Razzmatazz was- I think- the first time I ever saw Pulp and it blew me away. This Sunday, I am amazed & excited to be interviewing guitarist Mark Webber about his new history of the band, 'I'm with Pulp, Are You?' in Chiswick. 19 tickets left: www.tickettailor.com/events/radio...
