Leaning into a bright, retro pop feel, Saint Etienne shifted direction with “You’re In A Bad Way”. It was released in 1993 and later featured on So Tough that same year, marking a move away from their earlier club driven sound.

Happy Birthday to singer Mary Hopkin, who was born on this day 3rd May 1950. Below is her singing her Paul McCartney composed hit 'Goodbye' which reached No. 2 in the UK singles chart. Ironically it was prevented reaching number 1 by the #Beatles' single "Get Back'. #MaryHopkin

Just had a mini row with a snarky woman in a coffee shop who didn’t seem to be familiar with the concept of a queue.

Just seen THE LAST PICTURE @BristolOldVic written by my client Catherine Dyson & directed by client @johnrwilkinson1. It’s so brilliant and heartbreaking. Blown away by it.
