No7

1. Max Cooper is part of this spatial sound exhibition at this always amazing venue

2. At the same time, this event looks great... https://www.paua.life/ (Thanks, Simon)

3. The great Nick Cave again…this time about The Coronation…advocating curiosity and holding competing views

4. Symphony of Sorrowful Songs: we went to see this on Wednesday.  Incredibly moving.  The staging is unlike anything I’ve seen before: some of the images in this review nearly do it justice…last performance on Saturday and a few tickets still available

5. Some of the amazing, weird & ridiculous things people are generating using Midjourney

6. Recent interview with the Poet Laureate that never was Linton Kwesi Johnson on This Cultural Life podcast

7. 1 wave, 8 barrels…the incredible Koa Smith

8. Nick Ray: I’ve been following this man as he kayaks his way around 3000+ miles of the west coast of Scotland Coast.  An amazing achievement… https://www.lifeafloat.co.uk/

9. Finally made it to Hockney at the Lightroom.  Love this quote: “The world is very, very beautiful if you look at it. But most people don't look very much. They scan the ground in front of them so they can walk, but they don't really look at things incredibly well, with intensity. I do.”

10. Lastly, leaving this here.  It speaks for itself:
