Happy birthday to the legendary Ornette Coleman, born on this day in 1930! He is best known as a principal founder of the free jazz genre. His pioneering works often abandoned the harmony-based composition, tonality, chord changes, and fixed rhythm found in earlier jazz idioms.

This footage of the 1913 FA Cup Final between Sunderland and Aston Villa is extraordinary. SAFC were going for the double (and would go on to win the League), while Villa finished in second place - but won the Cup. Ironically, the only goal of the game was scored by Tommy Barber

18th March 1871 was the first day of the Paris Commune. Highly recommend these two books. I am reading the first at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it.

This Women’s History Month, we remember Louise Michel, one of the leaders of the Paris Commune of 1871. Michel, a teacher by trade, famously wrote in her memoirs: “The role of schoolteachers...is to give people the intellectual means to rebel.”

Saw the wonderful Pit Pony at The Cluny in Newcastle tonight. They are my band of the moment. If you haven’t done so, treat yourself to checking out their new album - Dead Stars. Brilliant! Pit Pony
