As promised, I went to see #TheWeddingBanquet today in London, directed and co-written by @AndrewAhnFilms. It was funny and emotional and a total joy to watch. The Lilith Fair poster scene was very funny. A great story, well told and with great characters. youtu.be/l61gmu9olZY?si=v4Cx…
I spent two glorious hours at the #LeighBowery exhibition today at Tate Modern.
It was fascinating and fun and thought provoking. I loved it! Congrats to everyone who put this together and thank you to Leigh Bowery for being so creative and adventurous. tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-mo…
I watched a brilliant documentary about the Fatboy Slim Brighton Beach party in 2002. Expertly directed by @JAK_TH. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highlight for me is the short clip of what appears to be Johnny Ball dancing, and having great fun. youtu.be/dH2V62kI_nE?si=3g0m…
Last night we watched the first episode of the new sitcom #SmoggieQueens. We were laughing out loud from the start. Really funny and totally original. Congrats to all involved.

We just watched the first two episodes of the brilliant new Irish-language drama #CRÁ produced by @CiaranCharles and set in beautiful #Donegal. We would highly recommend it. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. Congrats to all involved.

Just watched the final episode of series 1 of #Cleddau.
We loved it! The two lead actors #EllenRhys and #RichardHarrington were superb. It was a good story with interesting characters. We enjoyed everything about it. Roll on series 2! Congratulations to all involved.
Today I finished reading this wonderful book by @ruskin147 about the ups and downs of looking after the beautiful but very nervous dog, #SophieFromRomania. Thanks for being so open and honest. Best wishes to Sophie and Rory and Diane and Uncle Si.

Hello @louisacburnham, I just watched your beautiful film #SisterWives via Channel 4. I couldn't have enjoyed it more. Wonderful writing and superb acting. May I ask where it was filmed? I assumed it was in the US, but I just noticed that the three leads are all British.
I am really enjoying the new album by @evjanderson. A great re-imagining of her brilliant album 'Pearlies', which was my favourite album of 2023. My current fave on the new album is the new version of Clusters, remixed by @LoneLadyHQopen.spotify.com/track/1LD3W…
Great interview with Rory O'Neill aka @PantiBliss about his upcoming film 'Four Mothers'. From the same director, Darren Thornton, who made the superb film, 'A Date For Mad Mary'.

Congratulations to all involved with @FairviewFilm. I just watched it online via Channel 4. It's so powerful. Beautifully made too. It's important to remember Declan Flynn. Thanks for making this film.

Thanks @soniccathedral. @whitelandsband, @dearybanduk, @slowdiveband were all wonderful. At the end it looked like @RachelAGoswell was trying to talk to the crowd but was drowned out by Christian and Neil's loud strumming. I'd hoped she'd say, "Boys! Be quiet!! I am talking." 😀
I just watched a beautiful and haunting film #SkyPeals written and directed by @moinwjh. I loved it and would highly recommend it. I saw it via the BFI Player. youtu.be/117rRbTOuoQ?si=ljld…
