Gaining overall control of Tunbridge Wells does sound like something the Master would do in a Jon Pertwee Who

We released our new album one week ago. Here’s one of my favourite tracks on it. It’s a song about regrets and about loss called The Things We Threw Away. Sending this out with love to anyone feeling the hurt of losing someone that they loved.

'It is sad, moving and yet also encouraging because Stout writes admirably, with intelligence, sympathy and understanding. It is a celebration of love, courage and care for others; hers is a world in which kindness holds it own.'

The new Camera Obscura album is beautiful. Sugar Almond is beyond beautiful: a love song to a lost friend. Imagine if they play it at Barrowlands.

What a joy this was. Possibly my fifth time interviewing Richard Thompson all told and he is always an education, a wit and a delight. Give it a listen.

And good morning 🧡

'It is [her] openness to the beauty that survives amid the dereliction, & the joy that survives amid the despair, that makes her book so extraordinary.' Here's a wee review I wrote of Jen Stout 's remarkable Night Train to Odesa, which is published today. bigissue.com/culture/books/…

Thomas Hardy’s Cottage. He was born in the upstairs bedroom closest to the door, and wrote Far From The Madding Crowd in the room with the roses below the window.

I'd urge everyone with teenagers in their life to read this: I'm very grateful to the parents of 16-year-old Murray Dowey for speaking to me, as National Crime Agency (NCA) launch an alert to educators across the UK warning them of the devastating consequences of sextortion

#timstwitterlisteningparty
Dreamers on the Run, the song, was the first thing that I started writing for the album. That was in 2014. I was writing it with the idea that this would be the big theme song to the album, like the theme song for a movie.

Listening party starting at 8pm. Stand by your beds.
