This week, Nish is back from his fringe frolics, and joins Coco to talk about parliament's return from summer recess. The revolving door continues as Keir Starmer resigns, Nigel Farage gets sworn in (again) and Andy Burnham tests his stamina with nearly three and a half hours' worth of questions in the commons. With Zack Polanski rumoured to run in St Pancras and Holborn, how might the next by-election (another one?!) play out?Also on the pod, we're joined by journalist and historian Taj Ali. He unpacks what we can learn from grassroots organising and community resistance in the 1970s, shares reflections from the worst racist violence in over a century, and explains why the white working class has more in common with the South Asian community than they might think. Also, PSUK exclusive: fellow Luton native Stephen Yaxley-Lennon eats halal? Content note: the conversation between Nish, Coco and Taj is a full and frank discussion of racism, and includes the use of a racial slur that's historically been used towards the South Asian community. USEFUL LINKSTaj's book is out on the 15th September: https://www.foyles.co.uk/book/come-what-may-were-here-to-stay/taj-ali/9781526177582?srsltid=AfmBOoqg8Daxime9FB1T9FFCKNn6tUFY2bAbY75ybjQm_J4PKibB_KX4FB0 Anti-racist RADAR: https://antiracistradar.co.uk/ - report an incident of racism here. CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS HEXCLAD:  https://www.hexclad.co.uk/PSTUK SHOPIFY: https://www.shopify.co.uk/podsavetheukPod Save the UK is an Intelligence Squared production for Crooked Media.Don't forget you can get in touch!

A new consensus has emerged in Westminster, seemingly overnight: we need more defence spending, and we need it now. But the Ministry of Defence has a record for waste that would put Tony Soprano to shame. £13 billion down the drain, since 2010, at the very least. Aircraft carriers that come in late, overbudget, and beset by mechanical failures. IT systems that cost millions, and are wildly out of date. No other government department could get away with it. But the arms trade spends billions of dollars on greasing the wheels of political consent. They employ armies of lobbyists, print reams of analysis, and bribe politicians the world over to keep the war machine funded. The result isn't just a crisis of corruption. It's a threat to our survival as a species. Andrew Feinstein is a former-minister in the South African government, turned investigative reporter. He is the executive director of Shadow World Investigations, and serves on the board of Declassified UK. And in 2024, he stood against Keir Starmer in Holborn and St Pancras. He joins Ash Sarkar on Downstream to lift the lid on how the arms industry really works, and tell us about his political journey.

In this sponsored episode of the Anglotopia Podcast — brought to you by ACP Rail and BritRail — Jonathan Thomas sits down with Tim Roebuck, a man who has spent his entire career in rail travel: station manager, head of BritRail Travel International in New York, senior VP at ACP Rail for 25 years, and one of the most knowledgeable people alive on the subject of getting around Britain by train. This is the episode Jonathan has wanted to make for a long time — a complete, practical, friendly guide to understanding and using the BritRail Pass, demystifying the network for international visitors, and unlocking the kind of trip most Americans never imagine is possible. They cover the history of British Rail and the coming Great British Railways rebrand, how London's multiple terminal stations work, the game-changing Elizabeth line, the best scenic routes in the country (from the East Coast Main Line's North Sea coastal run to the Far North Line to Wick and Thurso), how train ticket types actually work and why the BritRail Pass cuts through all the confusion, the difference between a consecutive and a flexi pass, what the pass does and doesn't cover, seat reservations, luggage tips, apps to use, and Tim's all-time favorite rail journey. Plus: a giveaway. To celebrate this episode, Anglotopia and ACP Rail are giving away a first-class BritRail four-day flexi pass. Enter at anglotopia.net/britrail. Giveaway closes August 15th.

 46 He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilaeae, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cujus filius infirmabatur Capharnaum. 47 He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.Hic cum audisset quia Jesus adveniret a Judaea in Galilaeam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium ejus : incipiebat enim mori. 48 Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.Dixit ergo Jesus ad eum : Nisi signa et prodigia videritis, non creditis. 49 The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.Dicit ad eum regulus : Domine, descende priusquam moriatur filius meus. 50 Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.Dicit ei Jesus : Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Jesus, et ibat. 51 And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.Jam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nuntiaverunt dicentes, quia filius ejus viveret. 52 He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei : Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris. 53 The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat in qua dixit ei Jesus : Filius tuus vivit; et credidit ipse et domus ejus tota.Nereus and Achilleus were servants of Flavia Domitilla, who was martyred with them in A.D. 98. St Pancras was put to death at the age of fourteen. A.D. 304.

Demand at these stations has historically been very limited, with the vast majority of UK passengers travelling via St Pancras International. In 2019, Ashford and Ebbsfleet accounted for just 4% of our total passengers. Even at peak times, Ashford saw an average of only 50 passengers per 900-seat train. Over the decade to 2019, St Pancras traffic grew by 20%, while Ashford and Ebbsfleet saw no growth. Eurostar remains focused on offering city centre to city centre services, to reach our 30 million passenger goal. Any reopening would require significant additional investment in border infrastructure, particularly as new EU border systems are introduced.”Virgin Trains statement on plans to run a service through the Channel Tunnel**Poem featured by Nick Russell of the Rye Harbour Writers from a book called The Station Poems.

Un quartier qui se cotise pour acheter des panneaux solaires et devenir auto-suffisant en énergie, à moindre coût : pour l'instant, c'est encore une utopie, mais au Royaume-Uni, plusieurs coopératives tentent de s'en approcher. Le gouvernement vient d'ailleurs d'annoncer des financements pour encourager le développement de ces systèmes. Emeline Vin a visité une école de Londres qui s'est lancée dans l'énergie communautaire. À 500 mètres de la gare Eurostar de St Pancras, à Londres, sur le toit d'un lycée, 200 panneaux solaires ont été installés, il y a deux ans, par l'association Power Up North London. « Nous avons un accord sur 20 ans. Nous, nous fournissons l'endroit, et nous nous engageons à acheter l'électricité pendant 20 ans – le prix ne bouge pas ! Power Up possède les panneaux, les fait fonctionner et s'occupe de la maintenance pendant 20 ans. L'école n'a pas dû fournir de capital, c'était vraiment gagnant-gagnant », explique Julian Race, le gérant commercial du lycée Regent's School. Les panneaux solaires fournissent 10% de l'électricité de l'établissement. Les week-ends et les jours de vacances, l'énergie non utilisée est rachetée par le réseau national – une économie de 45 000 euros par an pour l'école. « Ça nous protège un peu contre les variations de prix [de l'énergie]. Ces installations nous rendent un peu plus autonomes. Et dans le quartier, les habitants constatent ce qui peut être fait à l'échelle locale. Et en plus, on rejette moins de CO2 qu'avant ! », dit-il. À lire aussiComment les universités britanniques coupent leurs liens avec l'industrie fossile Un impact social au-delà de l'énergie Les économies pourront aussi aller à des actions de lutte contre la pauvreté, qui concerne 7 élèves sur 10 du lycée. Dans le nord de Londres, Power Up a déjà lancé une quarantaine de projets similaires : des particuliers, souvent des riverains, achètent des actions à 100 ou 200 euros. La présidente Tanuja Pandit explique le principe : « Les actionnaires investissent avec un objectif de 4,5% d'intérêts en plus de récupérer leurs apports. C'est un investissement, pas un prêt ».  Power Up ne s'arrête pas à la pose de panneaux solaires ou de pompes à chaleur. « Dans cette école, on organise des clubs "énergie verte" pour sensibiliser les élèves. Ils en parlent ensuite à leurs parents, qui en parlent autour d'eux... Les impacts, tangibles ou non, sont nombreux », ajoute-t-elle. Un modèle en expansion mais encore limité À l'échelle du pays, il existe plus de 600 organisations comme Power Up North London, qui produisent l'équivalent de la consommation annuelle de 213 000 maisons. À Londres, la pionnière, c'est Giovanna Speciale. Pour elle, l'énergie communautaire pourrait, à terme, représenter une solution nationale, à une condition : « Les normes doivent changer, il y a trop d'obstacles. Chaque site nous demande un travail exorbitant. Déjà que seule une minorité de bâtiments peut prétendre [à accueillir des panneaux solaires], cela dépend entièrement de la motivation et de l'investissement des acteurs, beaucoup n'ont tout simplement pas les ressources, ce n'est pas leur priorité ».  Le gouvernement britannique doit investir un milliard de livres sterling dans les mois qui viennent pour soutenir la création de nouveaux projets d'énergie communautaire.  À lire aussiFin du charbon au Royaume-Uni: quelle est la recette?

While Francois Pierron was homeless in London he taught himself to play a public piano at St Pancras train station – from scratch. His mastery of music helped change his future.Francois had a difficult start in life. He was abandoned as a newborn on the streets of Dakar, Senegal, shortly after his birth in 1994, but was found by police and taken to an orphanage. He was soon adopted by a French couple and grew up in a rural area near Calais in northern France. It was a happy childhood, but Francois says he struggled with issues of identity in the largely white community, and always felt he was looking for something beyond himself.He was still a teenager when he started travelling around Europe, eventually arriving in London where he was almost immediately targeted by thieves who took his passport and all his money. This triggered a spiral into homelessness that spanned five long years. Francois spent a lot of this time in the crowds at train stations, one of the few places he felt safe, and one day came across a public piano in St Pancras station – the kind that is put in the concourse for anyone to play. He'd never touched a piano before, but says that something drew him to it with an almost magnetic force. He started teaching himself to play, spending hours every day experimenting with sounds and chords. He was obsessed. The piano provided solace, and even distracted him from his perpetual hunger. Despite not having any lessons he developed an extraordinary skill, creating his own compositions that wowed the crowds at the station. His playing drew the attention of local media, and in 2024 he was invited to take part in the popular UK TV show The Piano, a competition in which amateur musicians perform publicly on street pianos in the concourses of major UK railway stations, all the while being secretly judged by famous musicians including Mika and Jon Batiste. Francois says that his experience with the piano has helped him heal. He has been able to move on from homelessness, is in training for a career in system architecture, and has even started a family of his own – he hopes to share his love of the piano with his baby twins one day. He has also been back to visit Senegal, to begin the search for his birth parents.Presenter: Mobeen Azhar Producers: Rebecca Vincent and Rachel Oakes Lives Less Ordinary is a podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world. Each episode a guest shares their most dramatic, moving, personal story.

This week I sat down with the brilliant Ella de Beer co-founder of Electric Mayonnaise and one of those hospitality people whose career reminds you just how brilliantly unpredictable this industry can be.From waitressing at 14 in South Africa (while telling everyone she was 16… obviously), to opening restaurants, running pubs, building multi-site businesses, leading people functions at brands like Ottolenghi & MJMK and now helping shape the next generation of hospitality leaders, Ella's story is packed with graft, curiosity, and a healthy dose of “why not give that a go?”Along the way there are some absolute hospitality gems… including the moment she handed Leonardo DiCaprio chicken on a stick, worked 3am Soho finishes fuelled by “Chinese tea” and helped open a 300 cover restaurant just as the financial crash hit. Ideal timing.But underneath the brilliant stories is something deeper, a conversation about the power of hospitality as a career, the importance of learning by doing, and why developing people might just be the most important job our industry has.In this episode, Ella and I get into…• Starting in hospitality at 14 and discovering confidence through people• Moving from South Africa to the Netherlands (and learning Dutch while running a restaurant)• The chaos, glamour and 600-cover Saturdays of Soho hospitality in the early 2000s• Why big volume restaurants teach you lessons you never forget• The moment a 300-seat opening met the global financial crash• What London operators learn the hard way when they buy countryside pubs• Building "Sourced Market" at St Pancras and what happens when 1,500 small suppliers meet train station footfall• Moving from operations into people leadership, and why ops experience changes everything• The unique magic (and slightly chaotic brilliance) of working at Ottolenghi• Why hospitality might be the best industry in the world for social mobility• How Electric Mayonnaise is rethinking hospitality education through apprenticeships• And why learning in hospitality should always be practical, human, and immediately usefulSome cracking quote-ables from Ella“Hospitality is where I found my confidence”“You could stand behind the till at St Pancras for eight hours and never stop serving”“Hospitality has to be taught by people who've actually done it”“We're just teaching the way we all learned, by doing the job”“Our responsibility is to show young people this industry can be a real career”Why this episode is worth your earsIf you've ever started in hospitality with no real plan… and somehow found yourself building a career along the way, this episode will feel very familiar.Ella's story is a brilliant reminder that hospitality isn't just about service or restaurants.It's about confidence, opportunity, learning on the job, and giving people a chance to grow into something bigger than they thought possible.And if that doesn't make you proud to be in hospitality…You might be in the wrong tradeShow PartnersA big shout out to the first of today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from a single, web-based app.It makes work simple for your team, too, allowing them to check their rotas, request holiday, and even pick up extra shifts straight from their phones.Try RotaCloud's time-saving tools today by heading to https://rotacloud.com/philThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

46 He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilaeae, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cujus filius infirmabatur Capharnaum. 47 He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.Hic cum audisset quia Jesus adveniret a Judaea in Galilaeam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium ejus : incipiebat enim mori. 48 Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.Dixit ergo Jesus ad eum : Nisi signa et prodigia videritis, non creditis. 49 The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.Dicit ad eum regulus : Domine, descende priusquam moriatur filius meus. 50 Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.Dicit ei Jesus : Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Jesus, et ibat. 51 And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.Jam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nuntiaverunt dicentes, quia filius ejus viveret. 52 He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei : Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris. 53 The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat in qua dixit ei Jesus : Filius tuus vivit; et credidit ipse et domus ejus tota.Nereus and Achilleus were servants of Flavius Domitilla, who was martyred with them A.D. 98. St Pancras was put to death at the age of fourteen. A.D. 304

Many know St Pancras for the amazing station building that dominated the local skyline, but there is so much more to the area! Join us as we share more with you.....

Well here it is, the second half of our live record evening. We set out to discover the most important/ best/ typically London/ Londitudinal building. Can the champions of Regent St sway the room, to win against The Barbican? Will rock, paper, scissors, finally settle the age old question, is Roman stuff more important than Greenwich? And, critically, is St Pancras railway station better than the Wanstead Tap? Joined once again by Leo Hollis, plus lovely listeners, Dan from the Tap and friend of the pod, Katie Wignall, Alex and I ask you to put on a silly hat, maybe have a glass of something to hand, or even one in both hands, just in case, and brace yourselves for the silliness ahead.

Mona Siddiqui and guests hear from Rev Denzil Larbi. He reflects on his cousin, Elianne Andam, who was 15 when she was fatally stabbed at a bus stop in Croydon, South London, in September 2023. He discusses their Christmases together and how the family mark Christmas without her.The panel of guests explore the complexities that often come with religious festivals especially those that come with an expectation of jollity. Do religions do enough for those who are grieving or isolated at times of collective merriment? Should religious leaders and communities be more responsible and nuanced in their approach? And, are some religions better at dealing with grief than others?To discuss Mona is joined by Jasvir Singh, from the Department of Theology and Religion at Birmingham University, Chair of City Sikhs, and the founder and Chair of the British Sikh Report, the Revd Lucy Winkett, Rector of St James's, Piccadilly, and Priest-in-Charge of St Pancras's Church, Euston Road, and Remona Aly, British Muslim journalist, commentator and broadcaster with a focus on faith, identity and lifestyle.

pWotD Episode 2621: Keir Starmer Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 1,912,405 views on Friday, 5 July 2024 our article of the day is Keir Starmer.Sir Keir Rodney Starmer ( ; born 2 September 1962) is a British politician and barrister who has served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since 2024, as Leader of the Labour Party since 2020, and as Leader of the Opposition from 2020 to 2024. He has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Holborn and St Pancras since 2015, and previously was Director of Public Prosecutions from 2008 to 2013.Born in London and raised in Surrey, Starmer attended the selective state Reigate Grammar School, which became a private school while he was a student. He was politically active from an early age and joined the Labour Party Young Socialists at the age of 16. He graduated with a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Leeds in 1985 and gained a postgraduate Bachelor of Civil Law degree at St Edmund Hall at the University of Oxford in 1986. After being called to the bar, Starmer practised predominantly in criminal defence work, specialising in human rights. He served as a human rights adviser to the Northern Ireland Policing Board and was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 2002, later citing his work on policing in Northern Ireland as being a key influence on his decision to pursue a political career. During his time as Director of Public Prosecutions, he dealt with a number of major cases including the Stephen Lawrence murder case. He was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in the 2014 New Year Honours for services to law and criminal justice.Starmer was elected to the House of Commons at the 2015 general election. As a backbencher, he supported the unsuccessful Britain Stronger in Europe campaign in the 2016 European Union membership referendum. He was appointed to Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet as Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, and advocated a proposed second referendum on Brexit. Following Corbyn's resignation after Labour's defeat at the 2019 general election, Starmer succeeded him by winning the 2020 leadership election on a left-wing platform. During his tenure as opposition leader, Starmer moved the party back more toward the centre, and emphasised the importance of eliminating antisemitism within the party. Starmer led Labour to victory in the local elections in 2023 and 2024. In 2023, Starmer set out five missions for his government, targeting issues such as economic growth, health, clean energy, crime and education. In July 2024, Starmer led Labour to a landslide victory at the 2024 general election, ending fourteen years of Conservative government with Labour becoming the largest party in the House of Commons. He succeeded Rishi Sunak as prime minister on 5 July 2024, becoming the first Labour prime minister since Gordon Brown in 2010 and the first one to win a general election since Tony Blair at the 2005 general election.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:28 UTC on Saturday, 6 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Keir Starmer on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joey.

一首新的网络神曲诞生了。 don't touch her 故事要从1月19号说起。 英国有个钢琴师叫Brendan Kavanagh，他在油管（@DrKBoogieWoogie）有241万粉丝。这个人经常在在伦敦国王十字圣潘克拉斯车站（St Pancras railway station）直播钢琴演奏。 19号的时候，他在车站弹奏钢琴，跟多名手拿中国国旗的华人发生争执。根据钢琴家本人在网上贴出的图片，伦敦当局随后在钢琴的周围围上封条，禁止行人使用。 起因是这群华人在火车站拍摄，刚开始的时候还与Brendan交谈，气氛没有紧张。后面华人要求钢琴师不要在视频里录到他们。钢琴师表示不解，车站是公众场所，为什么他不能录？这里是英国，是自由的国家，不是在中国。 接着华人咆哮哥出场了，要求钢琴师不要拍摄到他们。钢琴师用手触动了旁边华人女士（英国籍）手上的国旗，咆哮哥突然抬高了音量，连说了三遍don't touch her，把周围的人吓了一跳。 Brendan把这个事情狠狠地发挥到了极致，密集接受欧美媒体采访，讲述这起事件。 你觉得这起事件，是不同文化背景的冲突？还是双方沟通导致的误会？是钢琴师充满敌意故意设套让对方钻？还是这群华人没有入乡随俗尊重他人？ 你愿意相信哪种解释？

In this discussion, Mark Hillary talks to Christine Heynes, Head of Customer Transformation, and Yvonne Quinn, Head of Customer Relations, at Southeastern Railway in the UK. Southeastern is the public-facing name of SE Trains Ltd - a train operating company that serves the south east area of England.   Southeastern serves the main London stations of Charing Cross, Waterloo East, Cannon Street, London Bridge, St Pancras, Victoria and Blackfriars. The network has route mileage of 540 miles (870 km), with 180 stations.   Christine and Yvonne explore the complexities of managing customer expectations on a major rail network and how to manage daily complaints and refund demands alongside building a CX strategy for the future.   They also explore the importance of finding the right CX partner. They are happy to talk about their relationship with Teleperformance, a contract that has been extended. It's interesting to note how they see Teleperformance as a CX expert that can guide the rail company, rather just just a supplier of customer service solutions. This collaboration recently won an award (best cross functional collaboration) at the ECCCSAs 2023.   In the interview, Yvonne answers the first question - Christine joins from the second question.   https://www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-heynes-40233a104/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-quinn-18366a297/ https://www.ecccsa.com/2023-finalists/    

What we can learn about customer service and being more human from the fire service?On this episode, I'm speaking with David Wales, who used to work in the fire and rescue service and has now switched to focus on product design and customer service.In his role in the fire and rescue service, David wanted to understand why people didn't always do the things that they were told. For example, rushing into dangerous situations to rescue pets or laptops. What this reinforced is something that we all intuitively know; there's a gap between the theory of what people should do and the realities of what they actually do. That means the advice people receive is often not helpful for the realities they're facing. What makes sense to the fire service, in theory, might not match the realities of people's personal experiences. That led him to a career in looking at customer experience, where the human touch is equally important.On the episode, we explore:David's career from being a firefighter to understanding the human touch in product design and customer service;how human behaviour plays a vital role in crisis situations and the importance of tailoring safety messages to individual circumstances;risk communication and the importance of personalisation in organisations;how emotions significantly influence customer experiences and the challenges in achieving customer-centricity;the difficulties faced by organisations in achieving customer-centricity;how companies often choose solutions for us, not with us, creating an impersonal system, and how a change of focus could lead to a more pleasant customer experience.Links to topics we discussed:The Edelmann Trust Barometer: https://www.edelman.com/trust/trust-barometer Elton John's donation of a piano to St Pancras Station in London: https://stpancras.com/news-events/sir-elton-john-s-piano John Legend playing the piano at St Pancras: https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/john-legend-surprises-londoners-with-impromptu-performance-at-st-pancras-a3501956.html Find David on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidatsharedaim/Shared Aim, David's company: https://www.sharedaim.co.uk/

W/C 4th September 2023There is something about the songs of Richard Hawley that make them perfect as an audio signature for a hotel like the Renaissance at St Pancras.So I am going to take the opportunity to bang on about him again, because I think everybody deserves a bit of RH in there lives and if you haven't discovered him yet then I commend him to you.As it happens he has announced a career retrospective this week entitled Now Then, and though I haven't seen the track listing it is sure to be of interest.But before you investigate that, check out his two mercury nominated efforts Coles Corner & Trueloves Gutter and let me know what you think.Stay safe.Hotel Room - Ricard HawleyAngry - The Rolling StonesTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.
