Punks ahoy! Very enjoyable evening of solo acoustic sets from @PaulineMurrayX and @McCookerybook on board the Golden Hinde tonight. Who would have thought 50 years ago we’d be here doing this. But the punk sensibility carries on. It just looks and sounds different. As it should.

Terrific concert by @KamasiW and his amazing band paying tribute to jazz giants John Coltrane and Miles Davis (with a nod to Sonny Rollins) in celebration of their 100th birthdays at @southbankcentre this afternoon.

Never has a song been so apt- we were hemmed in at the Prince Albert in Brighton by some rather nasty people yesterday afternoon- good to have the audience singing along with The Sea in solidarity with the wonderful diversity of British people!
My song choices for throw-out theme are...
In a Big Country - @BigCountryUK
The Sea - @McCookerybook
See The World - @Kidsmokemusic
Glasgow Is A Rainbow - @the_bluebells1
America Is Not The World - #Morrissey
Country Of The Blind - #TheFaithBrothers

Football isn’t content.
It’s community.
It’s seeing familiar faces every Saturday.
It’s standing together through the highs and lows.
It’s belonging.

Well, Ibrahim Maalouf and his fabulous band put on quite a wedding party at @RoundhouseLDN tonight. Celebrating today’s release of new album ‘The Trumpets of Michel-Ange Vol. 2’ and the legacy of his father’s quarter-tone trumpet. Included a stunning performance of ‘True Sorry’.

Sad to hear of the passing of David Hockney. I last wrote about him in my November 2025 cultural highlights for ‘Hanging Out a Window’. johnearls.substack.com/p/rec…
