Started Warren Zanes’ Deliver Me From Nowhere about the making of the 1982 Bruce Springsteen album Nebraska.

Off to Strange Brew in Bristol tonight to see W H Lung. Caught them a couple of years back at Moles in Bath and very excited to see the Manchester band again. Now Moles is no more and nobody has a Bsky handle but #livemusic is still good. #WHLung #Bristolmusic

Lovely walk on the outskirts of Bath and came across this in the tiny church of St Mary Magdalene in Langridge and the tentacles of colonial history are in the smallest hamlet. The Blathwayts were connected with @nationaltrust.bsky.social’s Dyrham Park www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/bath-b...

I’ll be at the the African Investigative Journalism conference in Johannesburg in October. Looking forward to connecting with journalists in the region on public health stories. Also hopefully assisting Blueprint for Free Speech in delivering a panel there on cyber security. #AIJC2024 aijc.africa
