DOUBLEBILL | Thursday, November 21, 2019
#DOUBLEBILL: when @suedehq and @thepretendershq announced a special one-off benefit gig for their mate John Brandham, I nearly flipped - amazing! And it was. Chrissie and her band are amazing, and we dived into the mosh for #Suede once again for the hardest-working band in showbusiness. (Danny and the Champions of the World were excellent, too, great sound). #brandaid #thepretenders #chrissiehynde #bucketlist
RIVERLANE | Wednesday, November 20, 2019
#RIVERLANE: imagine, if you can, an Amphibious Bus (Amphibibus?) as public transport. Straight along River Lane from #Petersham Road, down the slipway and into the Thames. How marvellous would this be? Slow, yesh, but the best way to travel in London. Up and down the slipways. #publictransport #richmond #visitrichmond #thames #london
ONLYFOOLSANDHORSES | Wednesday, November 20, 2019
#ONLYFOOLSANDHORSES: a must-see as it’s @pippaduffy making her unimpeachable West-End debut as #Cassandra and, well, the entire cast is on fire. From left to right, @imbobbond, the incoming Director of Drama at St Mary’s, Pippa and @oscar_c_m_ who has the best role(s) in the whole show. #theatre #london #delboy
CHRISTMASMARKET | Friday, November 15, 2019
#CHRISTMASMARKET: there is a small one on the plaza outside the @nationalgallery and I note that a stall has #raclette. Hmm. There’s also a huge new market opening on Oxford St tomorrow in the former BHS store. Double hmm. Time for a lunch trip. #london #streetphotography
NEWMODELARMY | Friday, November 15, 2019
#NEWMODELARMY: best gig for a while actually from @newmodelarmy, technically brilliant and the crowd was kicking for the first time in ages. I worry that the crowd are getting too old for pyramids… and then they’re off again… #camden #gignight #london
BOOKALERT | Thursday, November 14, 2019
#BOOKALERT: anything new by #Gruffalo team #JuliaDonaldson and #AxelScheffler is a treat, but this is a cracker even by their standards, a Lewis Carroll-esque tale of two tribes who aren’t supposed to associate. #TheSmedsAndTheSmoos is Lovely. Extra sweet of Mr Scheffler to come and meet the kids too #ToTheChildrenOfEurope #book #gruffalo #zog
