Best line! Out of many! Am I talking poetry here? Yessss!

dedicated to my husband
we too have stuck with each other
with all our might,
love ya, Picto!
Summer 2014
rushing for a train to Brighton
make it with moments to spare
get on board
race down the carriages to connect with husband
stop!
Right there!
it isn’t?
it is!
Imelda May!
too gobsmacked to say much more than hello 😦
(anyway, I have this thing about approaching public personalities when they are in private mode? Although Imelda always comes over as warm and approachable. Still. It’s an intrusion into someone’s private space. )
From the archive

Music video by Imelda May performing Kentish Town Waltz.
This would warm the cockles of most hearts.
I saw Imelda @ The Roundhouse and @ Somerset House in 2011. A Molly Malone of an evening, both times. Up Dublin!
if you love #ImeldaMay ..and how could you not ..you MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO

Cillian Murphy hates spoilers. The clue is in the word, says the 38-year-old actor: to spoil something is to ruin it, and why would you want to ruin someone’s entertainment? So we are at a slight loss, he and I, to describe Ballyturk, the play by his old friend and collaborator Enda Walsh, that has lured the star of Peaky Blinders, Batman Begins and 28 Days Later back to the stage. Not least because Ballyturk defies easy description.

**************************************
May 2014
This is the third album by London-based Mishaped Pearls, released on May 23. There’s nothing misshapen about this hauntingly beautiful,superbly sung, strikingly original album,. Taking the River Thames as its inspiration, It’s got an elemental flow, and despite its initial outwardly picturesque outer London setting, it’s not afraid to explore the river’s murky depths and deadly pull. Freshly penned songs sit comfortably with reworked classics from folk history, with an energetic narrative stretch beyond capital city and adjoining county limits. But the river Thames with all its godly ambiguity remains the key player,. Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner, but Old Father Thames and Thamesis are my standout favourites this morning. Pitch perfectly produced by Gerry Diver, full of small but significant musical surprises, I have it on repeat.
First impressions? You might say I’m hooked.
**************

Mishaped Pearls will be launching the album @ St Pancras Old Church on June 13.

Sophisticated. Buoyant. Statuesque.
