Paul Lawrence @edinpl.bsky.social · 04/01/2026If anyone can hear me out here, can I highly recommend the Eagle and the Hart by Helen Castor. To coin a phrase, absolutely fabulous (writing, historical or otherwise). 010

Paul Lawrence @edinpl.bsky.social · 01/11/2025Didn’t realise we’d lost both Yvonne Brewster and Nabil Shaban. Talawa and Graeae both hugely influential. Sad losses to British theatre 000
Paul Lawrence @edinpl.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Would be staggered if MOTD viewing numbers don’t collapse. Nothing to do with the new presenters (who are excellent). All the matches are on the i player by mid Saturday eve.. 000
Paul Lawrence @edinpl.bsky.social · 22/08/2025Never seen more walk outs in a theatre than at Cliff Cardinal’s ‘As You Like It’ for EIF last night. A fascinating and enlightening night. 000

Paul Lawrence @edinpl.bsky.social · 12/07/2025Live Aid. 40 years ago. I was living & working in N London, didn’t think much about it as ‘do they know it’s Christmas’ wasn’t exactly my thing. We were in a pub. Quo started with Rockin’ all over the World and the whole place joined in. Was a surprisingly amazing day 010

Paul Lawrence @edinpl.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Thursday night’s treat was @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social Schools Instrumental Service concert at the Usher Hall. Just amazing to see.
