An in store from the wonderful singer-songwriter, playing several tracks from her new LP before finishing with a classic. With just her and her guitar in an intimate space it made for a special, beautiful gig - one to treasure.

One of the best acoustic guitarists I have ever seen play live, his work on the guitar is beautifully sublime. A set littered with wonderful stories, brilliant covers of songs important to him, some classics and some teasers from his new LP

Totally forgot to post this. Brilliant night drinking my favourite beer to the eclectic blend of jazz, soul and dance. Took a while for Kwasi to really get into the vocals but through Mr Scruff did not disappoint. A cracking evening!

Bit harsh, ey @tim-burgess.bsky.social?

A special night in Baku! 🤩

Thank goodness there is an article on this as any discussion on these subjects is wrecked by the new look podcast.

So, do we all like VAR now then?

Also, Tonali’s second. Did the ball stay ball?

With Bristol City losing today, all to play for now. Especially with that game in hand.

I’ve never seen Orton live so this was a real treat and her hauntingly wonderful career spanning set did not disappoint. The setting and the warmth she brings made it feel intimate, especially with the stripped down versions of her classics. Wonderful!

Missed most of his set as I did my back in moments before leaving the house but caught some of the multi-instrumentalist’s beautifully crafted songs and with him playing with his wife, Beth Orton, I’d still get to hear his masterful guitar playing

Oh no. The tedious “big club” debate starts again…

All eyes on the judges here as GB looks for its first medal at these games.

Should Michael Carrick, during a pre or post-match press conference, be asked for his opinions on what his boss has said about immigrants and them “colonising” the UK?

Our statement: 'It is a 'bold", by which we mean offensive, move for the co-owner of Manchester United to state such blatantly racist and incorrect information about migrants. The Premier League is a wonderful example of how diversity and immigration can bring strengths and benefits to wider groups. The same is true of immigration as a whole. We are stronger together than divided. We are stronger when we don't discriminate. When we come to the UK we integrate, we form bonds, we are part of communities. Those spreading racism and hate want to see communities divided, but we know that more people stand united" With screenshot from Sky News saying: "'UK has been colonised by immigrants', says INEOS boss and Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe In an interview with Sky News's Ed Conway, Sir Jim says Britain faces profound political, social and economic challenges, among them an unprecedented rise in immigration in recent years."

The Premier League is a perfect example of how diversity and immigration can make us stronger.
We are disappointed to see unfounded, and untrue, statements like this being repeated.
Rather than spreading misinformation about migrants we should all stand united.

Britain has been colonised by immigrants, Sir Jim Ratcliffe says The British billionaire, who switched his tax residence to Monaco in 2019, claimed high immigration was one of the main problems affecting the country

I wonder when Michael Carrick will be asked about this at a post match press conference?

Commentators: Come on Labour. Be better and bring about the policies and change you promised.

Also commentators: Why are you bothering?

Unexpected this one, as the guests are always a surprise but Adam was brilliant, performing a short set with just his guitar and reverb vox. Beautifully crafted songs that, for me, echoed the likes of Keaton Henson. Lovely.
