Mostly music matters. Talks on the weekly @imusicpodcast, wannabe cheesemonger, writes about experimental music rarely @guardian

I went to Uganda to meet the guys from @NyegeNyegeFest and talk about the experimental music scene in Kampala. It's bring printed in the @guardian tomorrow, but is online right now: https://t.co/NSJPbxUmiZ

@CPFC Fancy opening the turnstiles any time soon?

@maxrushden @GeorgeElek @AliMaxwell_ How did Liverpool lose? What does this mean for Liverpool? Did Liverpool buy too many players? Other questions about Liverpool… maybe - if time of course - a mention of the team who actually (deservedly) won. Oh, and what does this mean for Man City and the title race?

@squires_david Is this one going to be available to buy? It doesn’t look like it’s available atm

@maxrushden @Will_Unwin @Towno10 @ed_aarons @AHunterGuardian Was Pep telling Dean Henderson that he was ‘so, so good?’ (please do the voice)

@DarloSince1883 @edsolomon @RachelReevesMP Small business rates relief, dressed up as ‘help’ in today’s budget has been slashed from 75% to 40% for retail businesses. Will have a tiny impact on the overall budget, but might send a few independents to the wall. Especially those fledgling ones.

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@DarloSince1883 @edsolomon @RachelReevesMP Just a shame about the other hikes on small businesses then eh? Like business rates going up 140% on small businesses - disproportionately impacting very small businesses

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@LabourSJ Having a female chancellor is joyfully historic, but you have literally kiboshed our plans for investing in SE25 today. Very disappointing when one of us voted for you a few months ago on your local promise of supporting our high street. Sort out the business rate relief for SMEs

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@hmtreasury Protecting our high streets by hiking the business rates we pay you mean? Reducing relief from 75% to 40% is not helping. Congratulations on helping to kill high streets and reduce shops' ability to create well paying jobs in SE25. @RachelReevesMP @LabourSJ

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@Andr6wMale Nico is amazing and clearly deserves all the treats SE25 has to offer. More seriously, it’s important to recognise that we all look after each other through trials and tribulations

@maxrushden @guardian_sport @bglendenning @NickyBandini @marklangdon Is the Ethan Pinnock Barge a good venue for Barry to hold his old friends reunion?

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@byhut @zahidf @ExEIH @Senyawa1 @EOTR For you abled bodies certainly 😉

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@byhut @zahidf @ExEIH @Senyawa1 @EOTR You’re pretty much spot on. No chance of seeing all three

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@JohnBrewin_ I had the exact same thought 😂 phenomenal show

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@giantpoppywatch how many respects is this calf offering?

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@chstrwtsn This is one of my better ideas. It makes me very happy when people order a Chester

@Clapham_Grand @maxrushden @guardian_sport @bglendenning @barneyronay @PhilippeAuclair Him and doucoure next season is a tantalising prospect 🤤

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@JohnBrewin_ @Clapham_Grand Ssh! Palace fans are trying to keep him under the radar for a little while whilst the media obsesses over Mainoo

@coseyfannitutti This is literally an album that saved my life. I was in an extremely dark place when I discovered it, and it shone a light that helped me take a step back from the edge. 21 years later, I can still rely on it.

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@squires_david That’s horrible, I’m glad you’re okay David. If it��s any consolation, the imagery in this story was all in your trademark monochrome for me, so kinda like getting a cartoon. Get well soon

[Gareth Main @GarethMain]

@byhut I was going to go to this, which looks interesting https://t.co/daXEkhcSVy
