Gong and Ozric Tentacles at the sold out and **very** crowded Globe, Cardiff, Sunday 10th March 2024 📷 🎵

The two bands are doing their _Last Joint Tour_, jointly headlining and alternating their set orders. Last night at The Globe Ozric Tentacles played first followed by Gong.

Two very close, exciting games of Six Nations rugby today. Two unexpected results for Italy 🇮🇹 and England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. A little compensation for this morning’s cricket humiliation! 🏉👏

🔗 Some thoughts on International Women's Day

> Speaking truth to the power of the patriarchy is unimaginably difficult, even as I live a life of relative privilege. In the past, I’ve experienced deep levels of discomfort at writing one small truth because there’s the worry that I’ll be branded a troublemaker, a man hater, a difficult woman to work with. All of which heightens my respect for those women across global history who’ve had to fight like lions for the barest modicum of political and/or cultural change.
