Huge thank you to The Repair Shop for giving mum and I the chance to talk about my incredible grandmother, trailblazing Northern Irish journalist Kay Kennedy.
The work they did on her writing box is quite literally unbelievable. What an amazing experience. 🥰💖

“It gives the audience permission to behave badly.” Lovely to hear Tim Curry talking about Rocky Horror on Radio 4 this morning.
& happy 50th to the Rocky Horror Picture Show! This celebration of the Rocky Horror Show’s 50th (stage not film) is among my favourite ever cover stories I’ve written.

I have no idea if they’ll ever hear about this… but to the team (and especially the lovely guy with a beard) at Haymarket station today - I DID go set up my direct debit immediately on the train.

Keanu Reeves: Saving the world with rock'n'roll... and kindness
Keanu Reeves is more than a totally non-bogus movie star. On Bill & Ted Day, we pay tribute to the poster-boy for kindness and decency.

Could every week from now on please feature three @fatherjohnmisty gigs? Ideally in the Ulster Hall & @barrowland_ballroom??
I enjoyed it so much, at one point I thought I was going to pass out.
This man is a genius. The greatest frontman of my generation. The greatest chronicler of our times.

Thank you for the metal, Ozzy. I’m so glad you got to feel this loved at the end. 🖤

A few days ago, I was in the middle of the greatest day metal has ever seen. I’ve been meaning to say something since then, and share some of the photos… but I’ve been processing (and also a bit shattered).

This is so powerful. If you’re still wondering which side to be on when it comes to Mo Chara’s disgraceful prosecution for *goddamn terrorism*, can I please recommend you take a couple of minutes to confront who the real terrorists are.

If there is a multiverse (& by my understanding of the science, there pro is), I’m deeply grateful to live in the world where @sparksofficial.bsky.social are still performing AT THIS STANDARD after 5 decades. There’s nothing like when that huge beat hits in The Number One Song in Heaven. 💖

Good luck to Mo Chara tomorrow. May the case be thrown out, as it should be.
We've plastered London with a few messages ahead of this witch-hunt.
British courts have long charged people from the North of Ireland with "terrorism" for crimes never committed.
We will fight them.
We will win.
GRMA to our pals at The Tenth Man for sorting.

WHAT a new music Friday!!!
The first new Pulp album in 24 years - and it’s already hitting home with spiky insights and sexy hips…
AND Creeper’s neck-piercing return to SanguivoreWorld. As bloody catchy as ever. Jim Steinman’s spirit is still alive. And I love it.
Music is everything.

I’ve just heard the really sad news that the great Barry McIlheney has died.

The story of the space dogs is much more interesting than the Irish #eurovision song might lead you to believe.

There were only two people on stage for Italy’s #eurovision but somehow it featured members of Fall Out Boy, The Beatles, The Jam and the Spiders from Mars. And three of them were one guy.
