Yesterday marked the 31st anniversary of the time when actor, poet, philosopher and footballer Eric Cantona kung fu kicked a rancid thug. It remains the greatest moment of the Premier League era. #ericcantona #kungfu #premierleauge

It never feels like Christmas Day until I’ve played that beautiful, festive classic “Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis” by Tom Waits. Really captures the spirit of the season. Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you have a fabulous day… #christmas #vinyl #tomwaits

Gary “Mani” Mountfield - brilliant bass player and a fantastic bloke I was lucky enough to interview more than 20 years ago. Also got to see him perform in not one but two truly legendary bands. A few of these will be blasted tonight in his memory. 😢😢😢 #mani #stoneroses #primalscream

Seven years ago, I became a Local Democracy Reporter! It’s fair to say I’ve done my best to be seen in the job. What a ride it’s been. Here’s to many more years (hopefully) in the role! #ldreporter #ldrs #hivis #hardhat
