And the sea continues .... yesterday for my daily exercise I went and sat on the deserted beach... just beautiful. Here’s 2.20 of waves through the shingle. Best with sound on.
I am SO ashamed you represent me as my MP

- not ONCE did you acknowledge the human suffering & desperation it takes to cross the channel in a boat. Not ONE trace of humanity in your voice.
This is amazing -

I've never cancelled a performance - but this 100% feels like the right decision. Playing the music of Sea Souls alongside Earth Observation images from ESA would not have felt right under these circumstances.
However small your platform, sometimes you have to take a stand!

and Space Rocks regret to cancel our climate-focused presentation of Sea Souls this Wednesday, but we'll be back, and soon.

It’s great to see the £1.57bn being allocated, but arts need more than an emergency payout.
We need support for freelancers & long term investment in the arts at every level. And we do not need adverts like this popping up on our feed.
This. Breaks. My. Heart. 💔

To all print / visual media: please can you stop using the term ‘low-skilled workers’. I think you mean underpaid workers, most of whom have job-specific skills.

Last year the UK live music industry provided over 200k jobs and contributed £4.5 billion to the UK economy.
Without urgent government support and a cash injection of £50 million the industry is at risk of collapse. The campaign starts today.
