English National Ballet’s energetic ‘Rhythm Riot’ at Sadlers Wells is a triple bill full of variety and propulsive beats. The Balanchine ‘Symphony in Three Movements’ opener was just fabulous as were the orchestra under Maria Seletskaja playing Stravinsky’s score.

On me and my daughter’s ’to do’ list too. Also gives me an excuse to post this photo of the unveiling of the Pauline Boty blue plaque at Addison Avenue in 2023 and the only time I’ll ever be in a picture with Celia, Peter Blake and Natalie Gibson.

Delighted to make my @detailmag.bsky.social debut in the just released Autumn issue with a piece on the cultural significance of 1960s BBC TV programme Jazz 625. A real thrill to see my words combined with the always excellent Detail design. You can order a copy here: www.detailmaguk.com

Looking forward to the report back. I know the joke about there being two types of Van Morrison people in this world: those who love him…and those who have met him, but I adore this piece about him which gives a different take.

The day Van Morrison remembered me – and impressed my girlfriend

A chance encounter in a restaurant in Bath with Van the Man leads to a bizarre series of events for one fan, recalls Jon Bewley
