Hi everyone. I'm no longer posting on X - for updates see Instagram @openinglinesmedia.

@Beathhigh Hi Iain - are you back in the UK & did you get the Idiogram invite from @TheOxfordBar1? We'd love to have you at @CavesEdinburgh gig Sat 7pm. If you can't make it, a share of the gig (wegottickets.com/f/13757) or album (idiogram.bandcamp.com/album/reunion-…) would be amazing if possible. Thanks

@jamescoutts Will do - thanks!

Left a parcel for you behind the bar @Beathhigh. There's a pint with your name on it too. Hope you can pick up when you're back from holiday. Cheers!

Great to see client Idiogram featured in @TheScotsman today. Many thanks to the band & Graeme Young for their help with the piece. Find out about their journey: scotsman.com/business/idiog… #Idiogram #ScottishMusic #NewRelease

Actor @KitLaveri brings her talent to our new production portraying the young Jennie Lee. A graduate of @ncanarkshire, Kit has quickly made her mark with performances in Crisis: A Rallying Cry @traversetheatre & Karen Pirie (ITV). Don’t miss her from Fri @LochgellyCentre!

Check out this vox pop video where audiences share their thoughts on 'Jennie Lee: Tomorrow is a New Day'. They loved the music, laughter, and comedy, highlighting the show's portrayal of Jennie and her role in founding @OpenUniversity. Coming to Dunfermline 12 & 13 Nov.

Delighted that the @ScotParl and @UKParliament have welcomed our new play about Jennie Lee through motions from @aewing4cbeath & @RichardBakerMP. Thank you to all our supporters! More info: parliament.scot/votes-and-moti… edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti… #JennieLee #ScottishTheatre
