@mrjamesob.bsky.social Re children and screens- have you read Jonathan Haidts ‘the anxious generation’. Figures around emergence of iPhones/social media and cases of depression/anxiety skyrocketing globally. Highly addictive for kids and adults so that’s cutting out real life experiences.

Eowyn. Not over Burns night. Stand down.

Sagan was a prophet.

The closure of The Moon was a devastating blow to Cardiff’s music scene, another lost cornerstone in a crumbling foundation of grassroots venues like Gwdihŵ and Buffalo.

Hooray!

Explains the random shoddy piano tracks in Christmas playlists this year. Really poor quality- hidden amongst greatness.

Happy New Year to all! Wishing you peace, happiness, health and all the good things for 2025 and beyond. Xx

Happy Christmas Adam, to those who celebrate.

It’s also doubly mean because it tarnishes the good name of Spam, the beloved luncheon meat of many an older person.

The SANTA PLEASE STOP HERE signs really annoy me. Guys, he’s done the list, he’s packed the gear. This is a guy who lives and breathes logistics. Too late for this bullshit

Nice to see a @mikebatt.bsky.social in the wild at the Sods (society of distinguished songwriters) last night with my @firlmusic.bsky.social and @bondquartet.bsky.social sister, Gay-yee Westerhoff

With reports this week having found that Britain is THREE TIMES more likely to arrest climate activists than other countries everyone should watch this shocking film👇 The court’s decision in @libertyhq.bsky.social’s case is due in the New Year

Very proud of this one. ⬇️ Hugely well deserved x

My life in 2024: people telling me which shows are good and what platform they’re on and then me forgetting what shows they recommended and wondering what to watch. On a loop.

Thankyou @nitinsawhney.bsky.social for being a genius another awesome gig by you and your amazing band.. The Halle orchestra [email protected] - I cried, smiled and was blown away..

Wonderful evening listening to @nitinsawhney.bsky.social with his amazing band, along with the Halle. Was moved and marvelled in equal measure. Thank you.

The most magnificent concert of music with @NitinSawhney.bsky.social & his amazing accompanying musicians @BridgewaterHall with the Hallé orchestra. Including incredible creation of ‘Heart Attack’ piece. Taking us through his scary experience earlier this year. Astonishing. 👏🏽👏🏽❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bridgewater Hall tonight for @nitinsawhney.bsky.social spectacularly good!

Very excited for this- coming up this Thursday.

I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to all the adults who have invested in the quiet joy of an advent calendar for themselves. Good work, grown-ups.

Really looking forward to this! It’s always a joy to perform with Nitin and co. Such a hugely talented and lovely group of people!

Our album Wildwood is out in April- with a few more single releases before then too x

Lovely scene on my morning walk today- I didn’t notice the cormorants in the tree at first but look! There are cormorants in the tree.

Terribly worrying, actually. There seems to be a tidal wave of journalistic destruction and it is very intentional and malicious. 🚨🚨🚨
