I have just discovered that the actor who plays Bruce’s mother also played Maizy Russell the youngest daughter in Uncle Buck. Now I feel very old 😬
Caught the Springsteen movie last night. It’s a solid, if uninspiring portrayal of the Boss’s recording of the Nebraska album. A lot of Bruce wrestling with his demons, flashbacks to his contrasting relationships with his parents & tensions with his record company. #FilmSky

This was excellent, a really enjoyable read. Not your run of the mill history, but one told through the landmarks & people who made it. Laced with personal anecdotes, many of which I could easily relate to & which had me reminiscing about my own experiences. Lovely stuff @feargalc.bsky.social 😁

Well this was brilliant, a powerhouse performance from Jolene O’Hara as she took us on a musical journey from the quiet country town of Comber to the bright lights of London’s jazz scene, to the blues clubs of Chicago & everywhere in between. Superb stuff😎👏👏👏
Out of office on until Thursday & now front row seats at the Grand Opera House for a one woman show based one the life of the most influential jazz & blues singer you’ve probably never heard of…😎
