Once interviewed Banksy, now talks to sheep
Angela Rayner’s Hove apartment is - I think - just a few doors down from David Gilmour’s old house. Of course she’s the one on the dark side of the moon, now

Don’t care who you are, if you don’t love @kaetempest.bsky.social I can’t love you. Here he is - “in love and with love and for love” - at the brilliant @resident-music.com here in Brighton tonight

Wrench’s compelling soundweave of unique, disturbing archive from apartheid South Africa is of the past. The resonance is now.
