Nine years ago I programmed a conversation between Sarah Howe, Melanie Ho, Helen Oyeyemi and Hanya Yanagihara and that event is still a career highlight. Such brilliant women.

My brilliant friend @drjamesbailey.bsky.social has written a book about Muriel Spark. It’s sharp, warm and funny. A joy to read (and ready for pre-order).

Just watched Lake Mungo in a cave because why not put myself through something utterly terrifying on a Saturday afternoon. It was part of Bristol Film Festival’s Halloween programme and was v creepy and v cool. 👻

Spent this morning with lots of great people who are doing lots of great cultural things in Gloucester. Really energising to see the impact ACE funding can have.

“Material Worlds: Contemporary Artists and Textiles” from the Hayward Gallery has arrived at The Wilson in Cheltenham and it’s a wonderful exploration of textiles in contemporary art. Really want (need) the wallpaper by Marc Camille Chaimowicz.

Really enjoyed hearing Kelly Lee Owens in conversation with @huwstephensdj.bsky.social - included an excellent discussion about the value of music venues and record shops.

That was WONDERFUL! Underworld, Beth Gibbons, CMAT, TV On The Radio, Jacob Alon, Jasmine.4.T…so much good stuff.
Also, I didn’t know Perfume Genius had covered Mazzy Star’s Fade Into You and hearing that live was a total highlight. Thank you @greenmanfest.bsky.social. See you next year. 💚
