“The Everywhere Bear” at Little Angel Theatre – 10/02/24
This is the second time I’ve been to see “The Everywhere Bear” so please forgive me if I repeat myself. I feel like I do that a lot anyway. The first time was during a particularly traumatic week in 2018 … Continue reading
“Zimmer vs Williams” at the Barbican – 31/12/23
Despite what I told my children, this was not a cage fight between two distinguished composers. So apologies – if that’s why you clicked on this post, you’ll be disappointed. Maybe get in touch with the makers of 90s classic … Continue reading

Blur at Wembley – 09/07/23
It probably seems like everyone you know, who is of a certain age, went to see Blur at Wembley last week. Well, we did too. I’d had terrible FOMO when all my friends seem to be at Pulp the week … Continue reading
“The Wolves in the Walls” at Little Angel Theatre – 20/05/23
We have a bit of history with this particular production. When I received the invite, I had a weird feeling of deja vu and when I checked back, my suspicions were confirmed – we were due to go and see … Continue reading
