Just finished @mrsimonraymonde.bsky.social’s wonderful memoir, interesting and insightful, Simon is modest, humble and thankful - some incredible “sliding doors” moments (eg the Mexico City incident, crikey). A joy to discover his father Ivor too, what a career HE had. A great read, many thanks 🙏

This Father John Misty tour is hands down the best he and the band have ever been in the 18 years I’ve been working with him. Brighton Dome show last night was truly transcendent. Too many highlights to mention but sound, performance, voice, lights, audience, etc were all 10/10 ❤️
