BBC Music correspondent, occasional songwriter. Lady Gaga once told me a story about blueberry coffee that’s unprintable anywhere.
I spoke to Grammy-nominated girl band Katseye about the scrutiny and criticism they receive on social media.

Full interview on BBC iPlayer and BBC News today. #katseye

Mel C showed up to introduce Katseye at their first ever UK performance tonight.

They’ve already been called the next Soice Girls, this kinda sealed the deal.

Congratulations to Sam Fender - who won the 2025 Mercury Prize for his third album People Watching.

I grabbed him as he came off the stage for an instant reaction.

Raye’s Where Is My Husband, isn’t just a viral hit, it’s a manifesto!

So, soo good to catch up with her (and to meet her sisters Amma and Absolutely) last week. Full interview on the BBC News website.

For the first time ever, Queen are playing Bohemian Rhapsody with a full orchestra and chorus at the BBC Proms on Saturday.

I was lucky enough to catch up with Brian May & Roger Taylor backstage to talk about the song’s legacy. Tune in tonight to see the spine-tingling performance #proms

There’s journalistic impartiality, then there’s watching Rosé perform APT at Wembley.

Full review on the BBC, etc.

I know it’s hot, but I just watched a cloud evaporate. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. (Timelapse video of about 90secs)
