What is etiquette around bringing a baby to the theatre? 6 months into having a babe I’d love to see some stuff outside of my home city but unsure how welcoming or accessible this might feel. Keen to hear from others of your experiences getting back into it.

Unfortunately, a tabloid newspaper has got hold of a music video I recorded in Islington North with an iconic grime artist I've admired for years.
They are planning to publish a heavily edited clip, so I'm releasing the full version myself. Watch here: tinyurl.com/yeymfb96

This is devastating. The regularity of these kinds of announcements reflects the depth of the financial issues our sector is facing.

It is with immense sadness that we announce the closure of VAULT Festival and the cancellation of plans for our new London home, after failing to secure the funding required to continue. 🧵 1/8
