A trip to Harrogate and a stop at the Everyman to see I Play Rocky. I've never seen Rocky and I hate Sylvester Stallone's acting, but this was great; funny and entertaining. I still have no desire to watch Rocky. But I'd happily watch this again. youtu.be/V_g_Ut0jO-0

Carl Cox gets a much deserved OBE - That's a sentence I never thought I'd hear 30 years ago when I was on the dancefloor getting down to FACT. I still love that CD today.
I’m not quite sure I can put into words what today means to me.
Music has been my whole life. From those early days of falling in love with records and DJing, to travelling the world and sharing that love with so many people, I’ve never stopped being grateful that I get to do what I do.
To receive my OBE from Prince William at Windsor Castle today, recognising nearly 50 years of doing something I absolutely love, is beyond anything I could have imagined. ❤️🔥
I’ve been thinking a lot about my mum and dad today. I know just how proud they would have been, and I wish they could have been here to share this moment with me.
This honour means so much, not just to me personally, but because of where our music has come from and how far it has travelled. To see dance music recognised in this way is something I’m immensely proud of.
To my family, friends, everyone who has believed in me, supported me and danced with me over the years, thank you. You’ve all been part of this.
My heart is very full today. I’m proud, humbled and deeply honoured.
Thank you, Carl.

Out to see "Karla and the Sun". I enjoyed it. It's good to see a film that's just heartwarming, tender and sad. It's a story about love, hope and what it truly means to be human. If you liked 2022's "Living" then this is for you. youtu.be/wixzainceAE

Next support was Murkage Dave followed by the main event Joshua Idehen with a mix of preaching, poetry and banging tunes. A feel good event that I can guarantee all the sold out crowd came out of the gig feeling a lot better about themselves and the world than they did before.

Monica Dolan brings to life Catherine's dedicated and devoted story from the beginnings of her research in 2010 through to the present day. Beautifully filmed by Kate McCullough with a really nuanced soundtrack from Hannah Peel.

Out to see an Everyman preview of "Wild Horse Nine" youtu.be/kqxuamKxRTo John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell in a film directed by "In Bruges" Martin McDonagh. Smart dialogue, great acting and it's easily as good as McDonagh's previous films. Oscars noms are a certainty.

Tooth "Take me as I am" live at Dust, Brighton 31st October 2026 Halloween hence the unusual stage gear youtu.be/F-kzj-n8kSE
Out very early tonight to see Tooth at Dust in Brighton. Doors open at 5pm and the whole gig over by 8pm!!! Feels a bit like a kids matinee rather than a normal gig.

Support for Tooth were 3 piece Uncle Junior who came on dressed as Mummies but there was no lying around moaning for this group. They are fast becoming my new favourite band. Not sure how three people can make so much noise.

Back from an Everyman preview of "La Bola Negra". It's an epic story - 159 minutes! - and it's a dead cert for the best film, best cinematography, best actor and best director categories at all of the awards.
Before you ask. No, that's not Stephen Mangan
