Happy to say #BobDylan did not disappoint last night… His voice stronger than I feared &, of course, his band excellent. No banter with the crowd of course but you can’t expect miracles! Cheers Bob!!

My #musicweekend day 2 (Friday). Great evening in #Swansea #TaliesinArtsCentre where #Pulp’s guitarist #MarkWebber had his fine book (I’m With Pulp, Are You?) promotion. Good crowd with some coming a long way. And got my book signed!

What amazing evening yesterday - 5+ hrs! - with Life & Songs of #MartinCarthy presented by so many famous names. Only Martin’s immense contribution to folk & skill of #JonWilkes & team could get so many top artists together - too many to list! Just few in this ‘pub stage’ picture

Farrige gives the impression he doesn’t trust scientists, but was willing to believe a taxi driver in Buckinghamshire, that Sharia Law is coming to Britain.

Certainly don’t endorse killing of #CharlieKirk but wonder how many suffered at various levels of hurt in response to the gruesome nonsense he spouted…
