Can confirm I did appear at Green Man, at the Talking Heads tribute that closed down Walled Garden, cameo-ing as the old lady from the ‘This Must Be The Place’ vid and serving tea to the crowd

Pleasure being invited back on BBC News (UK) this morning talking about the #TheBeatles topping the BBC Radio 2 ‘Best British Groups’ listener poll. Huge thanks Catherine Byaruhanga and her lovely team for having me and helping me popularise waving at the start of news broadcasts #music #news

"While he started out as a painter and found global fame as a director... Lynch maintained a passion for music all his life." Honoured to be asked by The Guardian to write on David Lynch's life in music, revisiting my interview with him theguardian.com/film/2025/jan/… #RIP #DavidLynch

Interviewing David Lynch for the cover of The Guardian Film & Music was a very precious experience to me - he was everything I'd hoped: funny, warm, insightful, generous with his ideas and praise. Here's something he said that I thought was especially beautiful #RIP #DavidLynch
