Pre-orders really help a book get noticed. And they help a bookshop stay alive. If you pre-order from @Pritchardsbooks - I'll pop in and sign. If you order from bookshop.org you'll be helping indie booksellers everywhere .. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/a-br…

On this day in 1963, Dennis Walker became the first black player to play for @ManUtd when he made his debut at Nottingham Forest. Walker added 'Manchester hero' to his list of notable achievements in 1996 when he helped evacuate the Arndale when it was bombed. He was working as part of the security of the centre and his efforts that went a long way to miraculously ensuring nobody was killed. When the bomb exploded, Dennis, who had just left the centre, was thrown across the street by the force. He survived. Another remarkable element to the life story of Dennis Walker.

I see that some people are wondering if more work could be done in schools to combat antisemitism. If that's deemed to be a good idea, I wonder if people will turn to any Jewish authors who write for children. Perhaps some kind of conference where those writers could speak?

“We struggle to truly capture what things actually do here…‘cause there aren’t words for it. And for a poet… that’s saying something. To create a new sound. A new noise…” And that thin line between talking and singing... 🎟️Come listen for yourself… linktr.ee/mikegarry

3 pint @WayneRooney Brilliant- he’s more relaxed and not starting every sentence with “Yeeaaaah” Put a Southampton top on. You could still do it. On second thoughts though …….. you’re doing a great pundits job

“’cause if it’s really delicate…” First glimpse capturing the thoughts, textures, and live fusion of Mike and The Cassia String Quartet, as they take over the iconic @LevisBallydehob, back in 2025. Seen through the lens of Adrian McCarthy. More to follow…
