Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

I also found a home in the music department when I did my MA in Archaeology at Nottingham. The early music concernt lives long in the memory. Once a department is closed, it's far from easy to resurrect it again. Shame on Norttingham. 2/2

My sister studied Zoology at Nottingham, but the music department was her real home where she was involved in many ensembles. It gave her an excellent grounding before she did postgrad performance at the Royal Northern. She's now principal bass with Royal Northern Sinfonia. Awful news. 1/

For #AncientSiteSunday the #Hellenistic theatre at Pergamon, #Türkiye, built in the 3rd century BC, alterations were made in the #Roman period. It's one of the steepest known ancient theatres. The capacity was about 10,000 spectators. 📷️ C. Bredfeldt 🏺

A full shot of the ruins of an ancient theatre, located on a hillside. The theatre's steep tiered seating structure is clearly visible, constructed of light gray stone blocks, weathering evident in various tones. The hillside surrounding the theatre is covered with grass, creating a contrast between the man-made stone structures and the natural landscape. Sections of crumbling stone walls and foundations are scattered throughout the grassy slopes.

This is a cruel aspect of migrant landings in Italy rarely covered. Eager to look tough authorities arrest people & charge them with commanding boats (iow human trafficking) on flimsy evidence. Often traffickers abandon boats & someone steers to avoid disaster. They risk up to 30 years in prison.

Rather difficult not to feel a bit gloomy about the state of the country atm, so I wasn’t going to make much of a thing of this anniversary this year. And then I saw this and started to cry. Because a free and united Germany in a free and united Europe was worth it. And is worth fighting for now.

Rod Stewart did what I think is an excellent version of Girl From The North Country in 1974. I knew quite a lot of Dylan by then, including Freewheelin', but not this song particularly, and the cover is at least as good as the original, in my view. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tcE...

"BRITAIN BECOMES DUMP FOR THE NAXI EXILES. Scores of Jews and other exiles are being smuggled into England in small foreign ships, for £25 a time." Daily Mirror, 1938. Sound familiar?

Headline: Britain becomes dump for the Nazi exiles

SCORES of Jews and other exiles, abandoning their homes in the Nazi terror, are being smuggled into England by the captains of small foreign ships who slink inside the three-mile limit at night and put ashore their human cargoes for £25 a time.
This smuggling, once sporadic, is now a racket earning thousands of pounds weekly for captains of French, Dutch and Belgian trawlers.
It was exposed entirely at Hove, yesterday when two foreign seamen were gaoled for smuggling a German in at Shoreham harbour last Monday.
Britain's immigration officers are helpless. They know that Hitler is dumping his unwanted people here. They cannot stop other Mid-European Governments seizing on Britain's lethargy to lower their own unemployment figures.
Every day refugee Spaniards, Jews, Ger mans and Austrians are slipping into Britain Employment agencies are inundated by fran-tic appeals from foreigners who, scared by European unrest, want British security.
