@RCWestminster RIP Ann Widdecombe. A wicked crime that you did not deserve.

[Armed Forces Day 🇬🇧 @ArmedForcesDay]

We will remember them.

X - I need your urgent help.

My new film 5 SOLDIERS is due to screen at Hereford Military Festival at The Courtyard on Sunday 27 September.

It has been on sale since 7 May.

I have just been told it has sold ZERO tickets.

Zero.

This is a film about soldiers’ bodies, training, injury, courage, fear, comradeship, trauma, recovery and service. It was made after years of working with soldiers, veterans and military families. It is not party political. It is humane, serious and, I believe, necessary.

If we cannot sell tickets, the screening may not go ahead.

So I am asking directly: please help me save this screening.

Buy a ticket. Bring someone. Share this. Tag anyone in Hereford, the Armed Forces, veterans’ networks, military history circles, dance, film, culture or anyone who believes that art about soldiers still matters.

Zero tickets is not normal.

Let’s change that.

Hereford, Sunday 27 September, 2.30pm.

"Lacrimosa" (Latin for "full of tears"). A masterpiece of oratorio. My favorite, most iconic, and most moving movement in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem in D minor. It moves me deeply...

First Impressions! Literary Houses & Famous Authors now available to pre-order at Waterstones and Amazon.

"Visiting the homes of these extraordinary authors, along with other famous places associated with them, I began to realise that it was not just about old buildings or bricks and mortar. I started to allow myself
to connect with them on a deeper level, to the point where it became a quest to have a moment of personal and spiritual connection.
After all, these were authors I had known all my life; the characters they created were like friends to me. They shaped my life and helped to form my opinions about the world and the emotional journeys we all embark upon. They also allowed me, through their work, to have a window through which I could understand history." David Slattery-Christy

@JoshPhillipsPhD @pensandpoison Gatekeepers in publishing who decide what authors can or can't say. Integral to the edit process in UK. They also 'revise' classic books to remove anything deemed insensitive or could cause offense.

@GreenmanOhio He was great friends with Ivor Novello. Tyrone used to stay in Novello's flat on top of the Novello Theatre (was Strand Theatre) when visiting London until Novello's death in 1951.

85 Years Ago Tonight, Al Bowlly performed for the last time! Turning down free accommodation, he caught the last train home to his flat in St James's, London! In the early hours of the morning, a German parachute mine exploded outside his bedroom window, killing him instantly!
