This is so deserved. Charli has been honing her craft and writing incredible music for so many years. Excited for the BRAT Awards this weekend!

'I'm proud to be 40 and breaking through': How RΓΈry crashed the Top 10 as a self-releasing artist It’s only February but RΓΈry has achieved what’s likely to be one of the most impressive chart results of 2025. Following the impact of debut album Restoration, she joins manager Mark Walker to discuss...

So how did RØRY crash the top 10 in Grammys week as a self releasing independent artist? Rox herself says it best: "this result really shows the power of the community behind the music". Very proud to be a part of RØRY's team. Read all about it in Music Week here... www.musicweek.com/talent/read/...

Oh also Osteria Antica Bologna on Northcote Road. Plus a few decent pizza places a bit further along I think

Northcote Road has a few good options! When I lived round there I liked Buonasera - it’s pretty shabby decor but the food is decent. The Plough is pub up the hill from the station is alright for burgers etc. (I moved a few years though so don’t @ me if these turn out to be crap nowadays! πŸ˜†)

I am angry. What Gisèle Pelicot was subjected to by her husband, the sheer number of men involved, the likelihood of other women across the world unknowingly experiencing the same. I see women talking about this. Men: have you read this? Are you horrified? We need you to join the conversation.

Excited to start 2025 hosting a live fireside chat at UK Americana Music Week with our FUGA client Nina Nesbitt. We'll explore her journey as a songwriter & artist, her creative inspirations, the founding of her label Apple Tree Records and the making/release of beautiful new album 'Mountain Music'

Did not have running into King Charles as I left a meeting at Battersea Power Station on today’s bingo card but here we are.

Fuse ODG's points about the harm done by this track are very articulately made and worth reading. I watched the Band Aid documentary on iPlayer last night and was also really struck by how few women and people of colour were involved in the original, the lack of diversity was quite shocking.

Delighted to see Nina Nesbitt recognised in both the UK Album of the Year and UK Song of the Year categories at the UK Americana Music Awards. It's a stunning record and the FUGA team have loved working with Nina and team to get this album into the world. So happy to see it recognised.

Ahh, that makes so much sense! Also thanks for flagging, been trying to get my other half to watch it with me - he loves Louis Theroux (boybands less so, lol) - so maybe this fact will convince him!

Watched the first episode of #boybandsforever on Iplayer at the weekend and it's magnificent. Had forgotten how hilarious (and wise) Robbie is. And Nigel Martin Smith describing Gary Barlow as "19 going on 50"....brilliant.
