Made a hot dash from my Bristol - Amsterdam flight to Paradiso to see Black Country, New Road play. They are such a fascinating band. They really hit a note with people, an open secret sort of band. (Delighted to call them friends, too.)

Bristolians! I, that’s me, myself, am amongst you on Friday 10th at East Bristol Books, talking to the great Joshua Jones about his book and my last one. It’d be great if you came down or spread the word?
