Our pubs, cafés and restaurants are the heartbeat of our communities, the places where we connect, celebrate and unwind. But right now, too many are at risk of closing their doors for good. Sorcha Eastwood MP is backing a vital call to cut VAT for hospitality and the night-time economy, a simple, practical step that could help keep these local favourites alive. With the Autumn Budget on the horizon, we need to send a strong message to Government. ⏳ Deadline: 16th April - We need as many signatures as possible. 👉 Sign and share: buff.ly/EpBXSNF Let’s stand up for the places that bring our towns and communities to life.

Well I guess that settles the "would modern Arsenal beat '08 United?" debate..... Couldn't even beat 2026 United! #ARSMUN #ManUtd

Heading to London to finally tick "See @pennjillette & @MrTeller work their magic live" off the bucketlist! To say I'm excited is an understatement! Loved these guys for decades!

Woohoo! Tickets to see @LessThanJake at the @O2AcademyBrix sorted!

Love that @espritdair are doing their album launch at grassroots venues! These smaller venues are the beating heart of the live music ecosystem! #keepmusiclive

#Glastonbury put the wrong headliners on the Main stage, @the_prodigy absolutely destroying the 2nd stage! Masterclass!

Killer weekend supporting the amazing @reefband at @ShynefestALO! Too many wonderful moments and memories made to fit in the limited characters on here!

Getting rEddie to Run For Your Lives?! As you're all very aware! The Run For Your Lives World Tour marks 50 years since Steve formed the band in late 1975 and to celebrate this, Maiden fans are promised a very special set list spanning the nine studio albums from Iron Maiden to Fear Of The Dark, with their most spectacular and elaborate show ever! In keeping with that time period Maiden are keen for everyone in the audience to experience this spectacular show as they would have when many of these songs were first played live back in 80’s and, in common with many other artists, the band are now asking their fans not to excessively film the concerts on their phones or tablets. Explains Rod Smallwood: “We really want fans to enjoy the shows first hand, rather than on their small screens. The amount of phone use nowadays diminishes enjoyment, particularly for the band who are on stage looking out at rows of phones, but also for other concertgoers. We feel that the passion and involvement of our fans at shows really makes them special, but the phone obsession has now got so out of hand that it has become unnecessarily distracting especially to the band. I hope fans understand this and will be sensible in severely limiting the use of their phone cameras out of respect for the band and their fellow fans". “We would very much like you to be “in the moment” instead and be fully actively involved to enjoy each and every one of these classic songs in the spirit and manner they were first played. This show isn’t just a celebration of our music; it is, as you will see, also about our years of art, of Eddie and of the many, many worlds of Maiden we have created for you". “So please respect the band, respect the other fans and have the time of your lives as you join your Maiden family by singing your heart out, rather than getting your phone out!! It’s really not a lot to ask is it?” Be sure to check ironmaiden.com/tour for the last few remaining tickets and keep an eye on our socials - we'll let you know when any last minute production holds become available. If you're looking for something to do ahead of the shows then check out Eddie's Official Pop-up Dive Bar - ironmaiden.com/eddies-dive-b… which will be running in certain cities for pre- and post-show fun! #IronMaiden #RunForYourLivesWorldTour #Eddie

The hospitality sector is in crisis with many already at breaking point, the changes in April will push lots over the edge! Please lend your voice to the NTIA campaign and email your local MP and share to your followers! It takes less than a minute! #rethink #savehospitality

This is off the scale brilliant. ♥️🎶

Just caught some of the 75 years of elvis with musicians covering his songs. The Robbie Williams performance of Suspicious Minds was hilarious. That was a lot of fucking cocaine to deliver that! "Rob how many drugs did you take?" "All of them"

Heading back to that there London to cross "See The Prodigy at Brixton Academy" off the old bucketlist! @the_prodigy @O2AcademyBrix

Today marks 7 years since the last time I saw my brother before he passed. Off to see @slipknot tonight, a band we saw many times together, with his best friend, then @the_prodigy @O2AcademyBrix tomorrow , the last place I saw him. Can't think of a better way to honour him! ❤️

Please sign! grass Roots venues are the cornerstone of live music! I once saw Dave Grohl play here with @RickAstleyHQ on drums before @foofighters headlined @glastonbury Where else can you see crazy stuff like this and up and coming bands? places like this! #SaveMothClub

🚨 Save MOTH Club: Take Action Now! 🚨 Hackney’s beloved MOTH Club, a cornerstone of London’s grassroots music scene since 1972, is under threat. Two planning proposals for multi-story flats on Morning Lane could spell disaster for this iconic venue. These developments: 🏗️ Tower over MOTH, risking noise complaints and operational challenges. ❌ Sidestep social housing obligations by splitting into two proposals. 💔 Threaten the heart of a vibrant community hub and emerging artist platform. MOTH has hosted legends like IDLES, Lady Gaga, and Dry Cleaning, while giving new artists their big break. Let’s not let corporate greed rob us of another cultural gem. ✍️ Sign the petition to protect MOTH Club and our creative community! 👉 buff.ly/3B3VGLP Your signature matters. Please support Moth Club - it takes less than 30 seconds. #SaveMOTHClub #GrassrootsMusic #HackneyCommunity

As Xmas Party season starts next week...if you are making a booking, please choose an Independent. Our Hospitality Independents are the heart beat of our communities and High streets. Support The Independents.

Some great pics from our set @DefibFest @SlimJimsAngel courtesy of @PurpleNurpleSPN. Thanks to all who came, we helped raise enough money to place 4 public defibrillators to help save lives! Thank you all!

Are we all in agreement that the first customer to ask where their 1p off a pint is gets barred immediately, yes?

My band @TPrenups are playing at this year's @DefibFest charity show on 2nd November at Slim Jim's Liquor in Islington! Full details and tickets are available here: defibfest.com If you can't make it you can also donate via the page to this worthy cause!

Tickets to see @the_prodigy @O2AcademyBrix in the bag!!
