Oh my. #REMIX conference is about to kick off. A real-world in-person ideas fest! 🤩

[Nicholas Poole OBE Hon. FCLIP @NickPoole1]

The British Museum situation is symptomatic of what happens when you only fund short-term projects and additionality. If you want the nations heritage kept safe & recorded in perpetuity, you have to fund long-term cultural infrastructure & jobs. No short cuts.

[NEMO Office @NEMOoffice]

UK museum visitor numbers are going up but @MuseumsAssoc reports that figures still lag behind pre-pandemic levels. According to the annual report by the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions the overall visitor number was 23% lower in 2022 than 2019.

Terry Hall, dead at just 63 - such a loss. The sound of the Specials + his biting lyrics perfectly encapsulated what it was to live through the Thatcher years. I'm playing back-to-back tracks today to celebrate his creativity and in recognition of our current Thatcher 2.0 times.

[Billy Bragg @billybragg]

The Specials were a celebration of how British culture was envigorated by Caribbean immigration but the onstage demenour of their lead singer was a reminder that they were in the serious business of challenging our perception of who we were in the late 1970s. RIP Terry Hall

I've always loved this museum. If a new name encourages more people to come to visit it - a great idea!👍
Roll on summer 2020...
