A whirlwind weekend. Book launch at @Dauntbooks, Stones gig… and bumping into this complete gent on the Overground. Sherlock Holmes and The Industry of Human Happiness! Where can you buy it? “Elementary,” said he: tinyurl.com/y8xa6tpl #legend #notofficialendorsement

Ten yrs ago, Liam Gallagher almost moved to Spain. Money was tight, he had no band or record deal and was spending too much time down the boozer. Now look at him. Here's the story of his comeback, told by those who know. @liamgallagher @Telegraph @oasis telegraph.co.uk/music/news/lia…

Here is my list of the 10 best Oasis songs, ahead of tonight's reunion show in Cardiff, for @Telegraph. What do you think? Any omissions (some might say there's a massive hit missing). Have a look and post thoughts beneath the piece. @oasis @OasisMania telegraph.co.uk/music/news/bes…

@SkyHelpTeam Thank u

Morning, James. We are aware of some technical issues overnight that led to Sky Q boxes to go into standby mode. Our technical support teams investigated and resolved this. If your Sky Q box is still stuck in standby please switch off your Sky Q box at the power socket for 30 seconds and back on again which will restore service. ^MC

@SkyHelpTeam I see I’m not alone in our box constantly switching off this eve. Any idea what’s happening? Anything we can do to rectify? Thanks!

@christopherhope @Telegraph Thanks Chris.

An extraordinary and understandable quote from Julia Baird, John Lennon’s half-sister, in a fascinating interview by @JamesFHall in today’s Sunday @Telegraph.

As new doc about The Beatles’ arrival in US in 1964 lands on Disney+, I had a look at the band’s broader relationship with USA, including the “more popular than Jesus” furore that erupted just two years later. It changed everything. @thebeatles @telegraph telegraph.co.uk/music/news/the…

@Coneee @EveningStandard I know!

@JamesFHall @EveningStandard Count Basie to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air... bonkers

I wrote a tribute to Quincy Jones for the Standard. From Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles and Jacko to The Italian Job and In Cold Blood... A dizzying polymath with a seven-decade career. We won't see his like again. @EveningStandard standard.co.uk/culture/music/…
