It’s been a busy day. It’s my birthday and I’ve arrived in Morocco. But do also read this brilliant piece in The Guardian about a story that started in a hedge with a £30k diamond, a row, Eurovision and you can buy tickets for it www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/j...

Counterpoint - Oasis had one and a half ok albums and they have aged poorly. The Americans were right to ignore them.

The Evita thing is 💯 a PR stunt. They’ll be like “we hear you” and have got more publicity that any theatre show has got since Sheridan Smith did Funny Girl

This is, obviously, excellent, and probably an indication of how far the UK has fallen on inclusivity that it feels like a radical thing to write? Totally accurate to talk about how the indignation never seems to extend to the bodily autonomy, rights and freedoms of black and brown women

The school opposite our house is having a sports day. Sounds of summer stuff; kids screaming, lots of laughing and cheers. And it made me realise something. I’m going to be one of those old people who won’t give the ball back.

I spent six very happy years with this brilliant festival as Producer. It is the UK’s longest running Arab arts festival, sprung from the country’s oldest Yemeni community (did you know Yemeni sailers came to Liverpool just a few years after the Irish?). You should defo explore the programme

We need to have a grown up conversation about AI, that’s away from lobbying groups funded by tech companies. AI isn’t a replacement for brains. Cos when you can’t get hired for a job cos you have learnt nothing that isn’t helpful www.theguardian.com/education/20...

It’s weird if you think that all musical geniuses have to, by virtue of their genius, be famous. Or creators of Western music www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Every time I watch that BBC hotchpotch of Perfect Day which, frankly, should have had the licence fee removed in 1998, I am struck anew by how few of the performers bothered to understand what the song was about

Amazing musicians and performers. And a genuinely boss gang of people as well 🥳

That’s how Meta are going to stay relevant to news organisations getting slammed by Google’s AI modifications in search, they’re going to get them to post on socials again. With no fact checkers, of course

We are deeply disappointed that the Data Bill will not include the necessary provisions to keep creators' works safe from being used without their knowledge or permission by AI companies, despite clear and unified calls from across the creative industries. (1/3)

In the canon of moments when you realised Liverpool’s cultural reputation was starting to shift, I always think of Brian Wilson playing the Summer Pops at Kings Dock in that mad circus tent. Very early noughties, with a lot of people going “Brian Wilson, you mean the Beach Boys Brian Wilson?”
