@ClareinItaly La straniera and Missitalia by Claudia Durastanti.

What are some of your favourite new(ish) books from Italian or Italy-based writers? Would love some recommendations (just for me, not for an article!)

@thecorpo Nice! Leave a last kiss is a personal favourite.

The third Corpo LP, Year of the Husband, with it's glorious Rick Froberg cover art, had disappeared from streaming services outside the US, gremlins and that, but hoorah, thanks to Absolutely Kosher it's back! open.spotify.com/album/0okPuvxI…

Baffled as to why I have two @LankumDublin tickets for tonight's sold out gig @mydolans I text friends to see if it was for any of them. They're all sorted. Seems I didn't get it for anyone in particular. Hit me up if you want the 2nd #ticketfairy

@Leftofthedialr @LankumDublin @mydolans I'm doing well thanks, Ray. And hope you are too. I just booked tickets to The Bothy Band in April!

This Sat night. Xylouris White, a scrumptiously wild folk duo w/ Jim White (Dirty 3) & Greek folk legend Giorgos Xylouris, play Workman's Club alongside Brighde Chaimbeul, one of the most exciting traditional players I've heard in years. RTs appreciated! billetto.ie/e/xylouris-whi…

@stevie_chick Thanks, Steve. It's a great interview.

Just finished reading The Big Midweek. The best music book I've ever read. Inspiring, hilarious and poignant in equal measure. Many thanks @Stephenhanley6.

@curranradio @Pmarber The best programme on the wireless. I'll be tuning in from Bologna.

*Clears throat* As the new series starts, just a wee thank you to any person who has supported and encouraged Bunk Bed, me and @Pmarber's late night wonderings on radio and pod. You are the wind beneath our duvets. Thank you!

@musicgiggoer If you can follow me I'll send on the tickets in a DM. Thanks.

@musicgiggoer @sigurros @RomaSummerFest @Locusfestival @LuccaSummerFest They're still available. I'll send you a DM now.
