Recovering from the Jazz Promotion Network Conference in Cardiff. Great to catch up with people I only see once a year. 14 bands in two days and a lot of beer. Favourite gig was by Charlotte Keeffe.

I first came across Jack DeJohnette in my teens with the Charles Lloyd Quartet in the 1980s with the film One Night With Blue Note. Lucky to have seen him live a few times with the Keith Jarrett Trio and his own Spring Quartet in Birmingham.
When people refer to Jacko I don't think of Michael.

Read lots of Czech literature before I went to Prague and read but 3 more there. I read Nezval's A Prague Flâneur while sat under a photo of Nezval at Cafe Slavia. I went to the Smichov district to read Brabcova's Aviaries and then spent a couple of days in Žižkov reading Hodrova's City of Torment.

#gonggong225088 returns this Saturday!
It’s been far too long since Yorgos, Camila and I have hit the stage together. I deeply appreciate the imaginative flow, and the joyous, perpetual-motion energy of this trio—I look forward to the new things that each artist brings to the group on Saturday.

Saddened to hear of the the death of Graeme Phillips, former Artistic Director of @unitytheatre.bsky.social I worked with him for 8 years back in the 90s and saw some incredible pieces of theatre. It was only after leaving Unity that I realised how special it was and what it achieved under Graeme.
