Indian Sun: The Life and Music of Ravi Shankar was published by @FaberBooks 1 year ago today amidst the dystopian horrors of the 1st lockdown. But it was still one of the proudest days of my life. The paperback is coming on June 3. Hopefully bookshops will be open this time #OTD

@collinsadam Congrats Adam, never in doubt!

Unbelievably the British Home Office has denied visas to the 47 young afghan musicians due to fly tomorrow from Portugal for their 4 city Breaking the Silence tour to raise awareness of the plight of Afghan women and girls https://t.co/Rk1s4Ap644

@nicholas_hogg Fuck, this is so sad and I’m sorry Nick for your loss. Thanks for bringing him to cricket nets a few times. He was a lovely guy and and he cast a golden glow. 🙏🏼

@nicholas_hogg @GodzillaKent @brokensleep Congratulations Nick! I’ve ordered my copy. Glad Archway provided inspiration for one of the poems…

@alycett1 Congratulations Andrew! 👏

[Hugo Rifkind @hugorifkind]

Remarkable to hear Braverman say multiculturalism has failed. She's a British Home Secretary descended from Goan Indians from Mauritius and Kenya, married to a Jewish husband, in a government headed by Britain's first Hindu PM. What would successful multiculturalism look like?

@_andyduff @AuthorsCC @RathbonesGroup @CCampbell_Agent I gather you are already on that particular @AuthorsCC honours board Andy.

[Oliver Craske @ocraske]

My 1st @AuthorsCC 5-for and I think my 1st @RathbonesGroup moment! Thanks to @CCampbell_Agent who gave me the extra over then pouched the catch at gully.

[The Authors CC @AuthorsCC]

Authors win last game of season by 7 wickets against Chelsea Arts Club at Stonor Park. Sensational keeping by @williamfiennes & great batting by @ChefKoj but @RathbonesGroup moment goes to @ocraske who took his fifth wicket with last ball of his spell.

[The Baldwins CC @HarryBaldwins]

Cricket the winner as the Baldwins lose a close game to @PrestonNomads in beautiful Fulking. A @nicholas_hogg 50 and sharp death bowling from @NathHardingLee wasn't quite enough to carry the @ocraske-captained XI to victory.

[Jon Hotten @theoldbatsman]

Terrible news from @TheWICK1863, a brilliant, grass roots cricket club. Was stood on their balcony watching the sun go down after our game this year - absolutely shocking that is gone. If you can help at all and spread the word, please do

Thrilled to be published in @Soc_of_Authors's magazine on the joys of playing cricket with @AuthorsCC. If you've been published & would like to play for us, do get in touch. [email protected]
