Brilliant and entertaining evening 🙏 🎵

Instead of the usual one 1¼ hrs it took us over 2½ hrs to drive to Bristol last night – delays leading up to the Brynglas Tunnel and an accident on the Severn Bridge 😔

But it was made worthwhile by fish and chips at The Hatchet Inn and my first visit to St. George's. An impressive venue.

Black and white image of a neoclassical church with tall columns and a domed bell tower. The church is at the top of a long flight of steps, bordered by trees and an iron fence.

Black and white photo of a stone stairway and railings, surrounded by trees and historic buildings. A sign reads Welcome to St George's Bristol. The scene also includes iron railings and a lamp post.

Lankum: If microphones are put in front of us, we are going to talk about Gaza

> “I think that if you have a platform,” Peat says, “and you don’t use it to speak what you believe about this, then it’s a waste of a platform. I also think that having a platform to only promote your music or yourself doesn’t sit very well for me. It’s horrendous what’s happening and if microphones are put in front of us, we’re going to talk about it. It’s really that simple.”
