RIP Jenni Murray. Giant of broadcasting. A defining voice from my childhood and throughout my life until her retirement. A meticulously prepared and superb interviewer. She made Woman’s Hour essential listening. 40% male audience when she was the main presenter.

I'm totally buying all Angine De Poitrine hype. @BBC6Music just played a full track. Annoyingly difficlt to obtain a ticket to a live UK show though. Lots of fun to be had here for music/showbiz press.

Fare thee well Andrew Ranken drummer of @poguesofficial. Fundamental and integral to the whole sound, feel and operation throughout. What a musical legacy though. RIP.

Another product lost to shitflation. Just sat down to a bowl of All Bran and thought it was strangely tasteless. Sure enough @KelloggCompany have ‘improved’ the recipe. The PR spin is that the new formula saves energy.

RIP Martin Townsend. One of the good guys of journalism (and in general) lost horribly young. He was so passionate about music, writing and politics amongst other things. I was lucky enough to work alongside him in recent years. We will miss you enormously.

Sad to be struck down hard by word ‘gotten’ sneaking on to BBC coverage in an otherwise excellent review! Urgh. https://t.co/2lDgEYt0C9

When did you last read a newspaper leader column? They��re harder to find online but a great source of free intelligence. A Sun editor once barked at me: “Read the leaders – they tell you everything.” I expain why in a @PRWeekUK piece (paywall): https://t.co/sRDcQPhn76

@TLRailUK @greateranglia Thank you. That is kind. It was worth a try! Thought there was a remote chance. I have filled the form out. Fingers crossed. I doubt anyone else wants my worn kit!

RIP Geoff Capes Strongman. What a life (and a decent Amstrad game). Some great obits today although no age.

@anitathetweeter And then a weird feature about why premium airlines are better than budget airlines.

[Sean Hamilton @hamiltonsean]

Dave Grohl seems to have given the ‘real life’ feature industry its biggest boost for decades. Mail in particular can’t get enough of it.

@terrychristian @Beathhigh As did Ken Loach, Larry Grayson and George Elliot!

Heard bits along the way but new @floatingpoints album Cascade is tremendous. Hope we get a @TapeNotes?

[Sean Hamilton @hamiltonsean]

What is it with the word 'storied'. Had never heard of it until a few months ago. Now can't escape it. Read it twice today. Once to describe James Earl Jones in The Times. Then to describe The Spectator in the FT.
