Always take a punt on a support act. Get in the venue early, and give them your attention. Because the future you care about is playing those sets tonight.
Support the support bands. Protect venues. Protect the future.

Night two of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings at the London Palladium. Some excellent alternative choices from night 1, a very different crowd, and one of the best encore sets I think I've ever seen. Finishing with a fully acoustic off-mic performance of Long Black Veil was perfect.

It's June. I've had to find a hoody as the breeze today is cold. Hoping we've not had our summer already.

Kneecap have donated their fee for their Wide Awake slot to Médecins Sans Frontières.
During their UK tour, the band ran 10km every day of the 12-date tour to raise money for food parcels for families in Palestine. They raised £30k.

The amount of posts from people in the UK and US wanting to highlight failures of their respective administrations is good to see.
However, sharing paywalled news articles doesn't help your cause. If anything they delay/prevent your target audience from engaging any further.

I don't want the Water Companies to be bailed out, I want their bosses to be jailed and their companies repossessed.
I don't want Public Services to be cut, I want billionaires to be taxed.
I'm not interested in the growth of the richest 1%, I want that money to go to the 99%.

Cracking Test between Italy and Ireland. Not quite the planned send off for Murray, Healy and O'Mahony but the W is what counts. Italy are getting better but their discipline isn't.

Saw an ad saying that Futurebirds are opening for a few dates on The Head & The Heart's tour in the US. Always liked the few bits I've heard from TH&TH but now taking a deep dive and loving what I hear. I see more record shopping in my future.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?

Had forgotten what a great tune Bell X1's The Great Defector is. Of course it owes everything to Talking Heads, but that's more than OK.
