Met Marc Bolan at EMI's offices in 1977 3 weeks before he died. Eric Hall on phone to Russell Harty: "I’ve got Marc here & this gay punk rock group called Tom Robinson. Bolan: "Is that what you are, a gay punk rock group?" & suddenly kissed me full on lips to test if it was true.

I can’t recommend Bandcamp highly enough for DIY artists. It means fans can hear can hear their whole catalogue, buy & download in lossless quality, and (unlike iTunes) most of the money goes to the creator. For me at least, it’s been a godsend:

Well I'm 70, the oldest artist we've played to date was 85 and the youngest was 11. FWIW we get 200-300 songs a week and 60 mins of airtime. So if what comes out of the speakers sounds more interesting than the other 95% that week, it goes in the show, regardless of age.

The forced cancellation of tonight's vigil for Sarah Everard through lack of support from the police and judiciary is a f*cking outrage, given the occupation of her suspected murderer. If you agree please follow @ReclaimTS and support their fundraising campaign...

Update: We are sorry to confirm that our Clapham vigil scheduled for tonight is cancelled. Please see the full statement here. Instead, we are fundraising £320,000 for women's causes: £10K for every proposed fine for the 32 vigils originally scheduled.

Last night enjoyed a hilarious 60 minutes on air with the legend that is IanMc Nabb @empiresend … We had a highly enjoyable romp through his back catalogue - from #IcicleWorks in 1984 through to his stellar 2018 album Our Future In Space.

EMERGING ARTISTS: put 31 Oct - 2 Nov in the diary: in all sincerity @BBCIntroducing Live was the most brilliant, diverse, life affirming, & supportive event for independent artists I��ve ever seen. An early bird day ticket is the best 10 quid you’ll spend all year: @introducing19
