Well. That must be all of South Liverpool awake. That was a loud one. #Thunder

Tonight!

From the people that voted for the success that is Brexit. Reform. The revenge. Love how low the turn out is too. I remember when we had a local election in Liverpool where I live and so few people turned out we ended up with the leader of British National Party as one of our representatives…

Sadly , post lockdown - live shows are becoming less and less viable for so many performers - I have many friends , critically revered and fabulous , who are seeing huge drops in their ability to sell - the mainstream dominates - the arenas lap up money and numbers
