My tour rider asks for the venue's crew to put a step ladder onstage and decorate as they see fit. Clive at Oxford engineered it so I did not see this freaky fucking thing until I walked onstage to start the show. Whole show spent feeling I should be looking over my shoulder. Salut!

My tour rider is water and coffee AND a request that the stage be dressed with a step ladder decorated by the tech crew in any way they see fit. Hats off to Leeds City Varieties tech. Salut x

I have a fairly dull tour ride, namely coffee and water. The one thing of note is I ask the venue put a step ladder on stage and decorate it. Hats off to Leeds City Varieties for their work.

Apparently this photo makes me look contemptuous, curmudgeonly and distant.
I don’t know who these people are.

There is always a gig in an Edinburgh run that doesn’t fly as you expect it to… and that was tonight but it is done and dusted! And the booby prize is TDFS on the bus home and a view of the moon x

I can’t resist a pub with a pickled egg and with all the fuss about UPF this is nearly a balanced meal.

As you may know the word ‘farage’ means the liquid found at the bottom of a bin or waste container. So the Clacton by election is Binface vs bin juice. Thanks to all who sent photos. x

Previously thought the place was a hangover of colonialism, a tax dodge and literally part of Spain. Turns out Gibraltar is working hard on its British values.

Hi de hi Paris comrades am with you on May 6th at Chez Georges. Photo of Karel, gig promoter flyering in Pigalle 30 years ago. The gig was at l’Erotika, shared a dressing room with 15 dancers which was incredibly intimidating. Dancers very kind and made me cups of tea between shows.

Every time. In the heart. Every time.
The view across the River Thames at night, the water has a light chop. The lights across the city illuminate the river, red dots of crane lights lit the sky like constellations, tower blocks ad St Paul’s dome mover from left to right to the Southbank and its festoon.
