My 17 year old off to TRNSMT on the w/e. I ask for a rundown of programme and he talks excitedly about @DeclanMcKenna @gerrycinamon before saying "then I have to sit through some band that are *literally* called Garbage ..." There's the multigenerational gulf right there! 😆
Goodness, Forever Songs on @BBCRadio3 by @IAMKP is really beautiful, thoughtful, affirming radio - all about life, music, memory, time, connection. Honoured that my John Martyn biography Small Hours gets a wee holler out in Episode 4. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
The final part of my mini series 'Forever Songs' - inspired by songs, memories & my delightful neighbour, Al Beck - airs on @BBCRadio3 at 9.45pm, then heads to @BBCSounds Expect a surprise guest. And have a hankie ready. Huge thanks to Al's family and to producer @breithorn

Just because it's become a TikTok smash the magnificent "Smalltown Boy' by @bronskibeatband + "Here Comes The Rain' by mighty @DaveStewart @AnnieLennox with @IngeThomson @GraemeJSmillie @AdmiralFallow Louis Abbott, Calum Mc & Stevie P. youtube.com/watch?v=YJl-Qx…
The Stars Are Ours for the right to access land as communities - to roam, to camp, to live in peace. Me and @MilliganDave on tour later in June to @MKStables @StollerHall @FireStationSun @BACKendal & Cheshire’s Clonter Opera.
Ocht so sorry to hear about the death of Rod Paterson. One of the sweetest ever singers in Scots. As a soloist and also with Jock Tamson's Bairns and The Easy Club, in particular. Love to family and friends. Here he is - "My Nannie, O" youtu.be/R1WVgky1Pxw?fe… via @YouTube
Bairns singing #SmilesBetter from the #SnappyOpera me & @pippamurph made for @mahoganyopera The dastardly (actually just misguided) Smiles Better Inc. bring their shiny Smile Hoover, Smile Remover & Smile Improver, to town. But no-one actually needs it …
To celebrate #NationalSmileDay here is a clip from #SmilesBetter, a #SnappyOpera created by @pippamurph, @IAMKP & pupils from @holystoneschool - created during the pandemic, the #opera draws inspiration from the things that kept us all smiling! 😃
Dundonians - how would you pronounce 'The Gaumont' - the old cinema that used to be in the town? Like "Cow-mont' or like "Haw-mont' or in some other particular Dundee fashion? Ta!
War crimes before our eyes, intensified deliberately by Israel, whilst the UK persists in its complicity with genocide 💔🇵🇸
