So Emma-Jean Thackeray at KOKO tonight was lovely. Excuse my poor photo but I took it from the very back so as not to disturb other people’s enjoyment of the gig. #leastsubtlehintever

Went to see the Bluetones in Leeds last night. Not a band I ever really got into but a friend’s favourite band. Anyway - a great live band. Even the dreaded “new songs” were good. And like a lot of these bands brilliant in a (rare)extended groove.

Bought this on CD having never heard it after a glowing 5* review in the Guardian. Felt unlistenable at the time. Should probably give it another go. Expect it’s great now.

So went to a 40th anniversary screening of My Beautiful Laundrette this evening at the amazing Cinema Museum in Elephant and Castle. The themes of racism, homophobia and gentrification don’t seem to have become as outdated as they should have done.
