Can confirm - this was a special gig.
"Peat’s astonishing voice cuts through the dark, the song builds around her: four-piece harmonies, and a doom-laden siren with the circular swing of a lighthouse’s beam." ★★★★★ in the @guardian for our performance at @edintfest last week... theguardian.com/stage/2023/a…

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

This was a gripping couple of hours which really captured the national mood. A model for public service broadcasting at a time of tragedy. Thanks @johncreedon

In advance of Barbie's release I want to have a word about the Irish for pink. Bándearg, which translates literally as white-red, is a very popular word but pinc is also in use. Is one more "correct" than the other? Let's have a look.
