Music journalist. Musician. Songwriter. Middle-aged and not concerned about it. Single and not concerned about that either. I'm enjoying life. I like music with energy, passion and integrity from every era. I like travel but I like Dublin. Motto: be sound
Thewlis proudly present our first Spotify playlist; Amo Amas Amat Playlist #1 (If you know, you know!) One of ours in the middle and ones we like by others from the present and the past keeping it company. Enjoy @thelastdinnerparty.bsky.social @remhq.bsky.social open.spotify.com/playlist/08e...

Hi folks, Thewlis want to wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day. Here is a song for the day that's in it soundcloud.com/thewlis-band...
The One Before The One
This is a bittersweet sixties-tinged power pop song by Irish band Thewlis. If you've been the one before the one you will relate!

From Eraserhead, through The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart, Mulholland Drive and not forgetting Twin Peaks, this man made the most surprising, confounding, original drama ever. David Lynch, my favourite filmmaker has died. What a legacy. #DavidLynch
DAVID LYNCH has passed away. We have lost one of the greatest directors in history, a superlative artist. A unique and timeless cultural figure. Forever in our memory, forever in our hearts. Long live The Greatest.
