The great Maurice Sendakβs poster for 1979βs International Year Of The Child.
David Niven in a promo photo for 1946βs classic fantastical movie βA Matter Of Life And Deathβ.
So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and theyβre simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was βyour piano is too close to the fireplace, youβll dry it outβ and if thatβs not the internet in a nutshell I donβt know what is.
ok, hear me out.
It's been 10 years since Wogan died, and i think it's a case of coming together in the National interest to get the country entirely behind this song on this night, with vino flowing and crisp online commentary throughout the whole thing.
We need this.
We've won...maybe...
Well we helped organise YAH, so hopefully if the festival returns (which we're working on) we return with it!
We're at 5%. The fundraising unfortunately needs to continue. We have enough for a few more Daylight Music events in the coming months (details tba) but then our future depends on the generosity of our supporters. Can you add something to get us nearer our goal?

My radio show for Margate Radio (3pm) on Sunday is not only the 49th Edition but I think one of my best. I shall be in two places at once though. At that moment I shall be introducing Dominie Hooper in Canterbury!

Never a big Narnia guy but this 6 seconds typifies everything I love about British television.
Today I'm a little obsessed with Tortusa. I mean it's geniuenly without genre. Supposed in jazz, but just crossing everything. It's just beautiful music. johnderekbishop.bandcamp.com/album/bre
