Oh heeeya. Been away from Bluesky for a minute. Will try post more, it's nicer here. Last month I jumped on 'How To Become A...' podcast to talk about programming a stage at Glastonbury Festival. Can't believe it's been 25 years in this. Have a listen: shows.acast.com/how-to-becom... #glasto

Yesterday we dropped a magical workshop inside Punchdrunk Enrichment with Yomi Sode exclusively for #BYOB Poetry crew in Wembley. Facilitation space is such an overlooked pillar of informal education, this spot was gorgeous #yomisode #poetry

Proud to finally share our big Youth Music report 'Industry Connect' on the state of Music Education. This is one of the most comprehensive pieces of research of recent years and offers a radical rethink. The feedback has been amazing. Have you read it yet? youthmusic.org.uk/youth-musics...

The music boom is real The global value of music copyright (inc sales, licensing and streaming) was $45.5 billion last year. That's $20B more than 10 years ago, and $12B more than cinema box office revenue... Source: @tortoisemedia.bsky.social pivotaleconomics.com/undercurrent...

Nice to see Maverick Sabre in the #RoyalAlbertHall archive, talking about 14 years ago and many artists coming thru together. On one night alone Lyrix Organix had Ed Sheeran, Maverick Sabre and Doc Brown on one line up in a pub in Kensal Green (will post that video below) youtu.be/hbDx-XKaZ84?...

“we don't live an industrial age anymore, and yet the education system is built on it. It's nonsense... Knowledge is no longer valuable, it's practice that is needed”” (Denise Stanley, CLOCK) This panel hosted by my guy Wizdom (Sound Connections) is on point

Been pinballing London today like a frozen, um, pinball. Tonight it's our first in a series of workshops in Wembley Park as part of a major new public artwork commission for Lyrix Organix with local youth poets I'd be bouncing with excitement if my pins weren't frozen

A brilliant read for 90s RnB nerds. It evokes memories of spending my pocket money on US import CDs, in shrink wrapped tray sleeves. This album still bangs.

Doctors Without Borders teams in #Sudan are treating war-wounded patients with catastrophic injuries and providing humanitarian aid and medical care. More than 11 million have been displaced by the current conflict, including over 3 million who have fled to countries like Chad & South Sudan.

Oh hey Bluesky. I've landed, at last. This is me giving my Blue Steel to tell you I'm dropping a keynote talk in Manchester this Saturday. This year I co-led a Youth Music report abt creative careers, music education & the 'industry'. We spoke to 280 ppl, it was inspiring, revealing & urgent
