Come see my portrait at The Mall Galleries in London! 7-19th May!

@SamiraAhmedUK Yes, Glenn is a big Beatles fan. Enjoy Béal Feirste and the QFT.

An early clue to the new direction: I'll be doing a film screening, Q&A & book signing with novelist (and Beatle aficionado) Glenn Patterson about my BFI Classic on A Hard Day's Night 6pm on Tuesday May 27th at Belfast's wonderful QFT cinema. Info and link to come later today.

Brilliant, brilliant exposé by Alex Thomson @alextomo on @Channel4News last night, blowing the lid of the corrupt, and it is corruption of the @EnvAgency allowing water companies to walk away from criminal charges, jail time, unlimited fines and all for nothing more than a slap on the wrist and some blood money paid to local charities. It's time to put an end to this nonsense, it's time to hold people to account, it's time to send the fat cats to jail. channel4.com/news/the-dirty…

@ADixonMusic Very cool!

Well that was incredible. Just spent 2 hours sat inside Abbey Road studio 2, sat about 12 feet from Paul McCartney, and listened to The Boys Of Dungeon Lane while Paul tells the stories behind it.

@ADixonMusic Excellent!

Stood outside here a few times, but today......I'm going in!!! That's not the best bit, the best bit is way beyond that. I'll be back online later with as much detail as I can give.... 🙂

New Podcast! I’m joined by @jimwindolf to discuss his book ‘Where The Music Had To Go’. Jim’s book tells the story of The Beatles and Bob Dylan’s influence on each other - where they met, what they said, and how they changed each other’s perspectives.

What an extraordinary life I get to live. Got on the tube yesterday and sat next to a very colourful, fabulous man called Danny, Danny the bass player to be precise. Great chat and just as I’ve leaving he pulls up his sleeve and shows me this. You’re a legend Danny Sapko @DannySapkoBass

@deldridgewriter Excellent.

@SamiraAhmedUK @TonyClaytonLea @IrishTimes Excellent review. Wonderful book. Well, the Beatles are Irish! 🍀🪲

Thank you to @TonyClaytonLea in the @irishtimes for a lovely review: irishtimes.com/culture/books/…

More about last night here... samiraahmed.blog/a-hard-days-ni…

How do we bring water into public ownership? @Feargal_Sharkey explains on Channel 4 News tonight 👇🤩🤩🤩 He is backing the new petition from @windrushwasp.bsky.social calling for a referendum so the public can decide 82% of us support PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

I made a whole BBC TV series (2020) about the remarkable resilience of the people of Iran and their culture over centuries of threat and callous rule. You can watch it right here on the @BBCiPlayer: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… #ArtOfPersia

The @FT is reporting that hapless, hopeless, incompetent Ofwat is about to let Thames Water off £123 million in fines. That Ofwat would be a very, very bad idea. You will want to think again.

Did your water bill go up again today? Of course it did, and no, it's not an April Fools Day. Time to end the fraud that is the water industry. Time to take our water companies back into public control.

So excited to see my @runkerry portrait at the Mall Gallery on 7th May!

"‘I won’t stop until they stop polluting Windermere’." Fabulous interview with Matt in @thetimes. 👏👏👏 He ain't for stopping, are you? thetimes.com/uk/environment….

I have to say I'm about to disappear down a very deep rabbit hole comprised of Japanese traditional Irish music and I'm absolutely loving it.
