A total delight to be able to say: I interviewed Paul McCartney for CLASH’s summer cover, in Soho last month. The whole article is available for free online now, link in bio.
Nothing really prepares you for when the lift doors open and McCartney is just standing there. He asked where I was from and I replied “Blackburn, Lancashire”, he stuck a fist in the air and went “Blackburn, Lancashire: right on!”. I was mostly alright after that.
Sweetly, he took time to ask me about my family and, as he was seeing me out of the office at the end, told me “say hi to your folks in Blackburn, Lancashire.” A total class act. Paul McCartney: right on.
Strongest possible thank you to editor Robin Murray for thinking of me for this and making something fairly ludicrous and dreamlike happen.

I interviewed Adam Curtis for The Face: speaking to the 70 year old documentary maker last week in Dalston about his new five part series Shifty as well as ketamine, Keir Starmer, revolution, Sally Rooney, Cafe Oto and looking back at the strange shifts in his own work. Absolutely loved doing this obviously and thank you to Jade Wickes for the edit and Matthew Whitehouse for the commission. Link in bio!

In our new issue, ‘Facing the Future Again,’ Tribune culture editor @fergal_41 explains how corporate consolidation and the greed of major record labels, not streaming, is what’s really at the heart of the music industry’s problems.

This is Dennis “Dinny” Kinney, my great uncle and the older brother of my grandfather, speaking in a 1993 documentary about Arlington House for homeless men in Camden. I have been trying to find the footage for ages and was finally successful today by pure luck. My family saw the footage on transmission in 1993 and never again. Dinny was born in the early 1930s in West Belfast, growing up in shocking poverty and emigrating to England in the late 1940s. While most of the Kinneys settled in and around Blackburn, Dinny was a drifter and suffered from alcoholism, and became estranged from the family. Watching the video there is a really notable sensibility/sense of humour that I associate with my grandad and has stuck around in the family.

New: the generation who took the flak for austerity as kids - and made the worst Covid sacrifices - are voting for the first time in Thursday. So why are they being spoken about, rather than to? For @thefacemagazine myself and the mighty @nikhartleyphoto spent two days in Bury speaking to first time voters. Link in bio. Thanks so much to @olivepometsey and @m_j_whitehouse for brilliant direction on this, and please set up a direct debit to @reclaim_project who do such great work training young working-class leaders like Farida who so articulately closes this piece.
