Oh wow, all this effort is starting to pay off. It was only this morning that I was notified that the Financial Times had started following me and theyâd added me to their official list of writers and contributors. Who knew?!

He wouldâve been thrilled to know that you were aware of him. He was such a fan, and did a blinding cover of And a Bang on the Ear. I see youâre gigging in the North of England next year. Iâll have to get to either York or Sheffield! See you there.

Thanks to you and @stane.bsky.social. My increased use of RTĂ news recently must be why Iâve started to notice it more. You learn something new and all that.

Thanks Leigh. Iâve just sat down with a preemptive hot whiskey and a large one at that. Not sure if it works but worth a go!

What a real shame. Things are going backwards instead of forwards and I hope it ends up full circle.
