Natasha would be a solid booking, and I'd definitely consider seeing her.

Stereolab was also 2021, and I don't think we can attribute anything from that year as definite future policy. I'm also not sure we should include Slowdive alongside Pixies types given they're currently much bigger than they were the first time round.   I think the latter is somewhere near what Simon is getting at - active bands who are still creative but not those reforming for specious anniversaries or easy millennial nostalgia.

Outbreak 2025 has its own thread but thought I would add a poster here as it's a Lido badged event at Victoria Park.  

Been a tough year for many reasons, but the health situation I had which kept me off my feet for much of the year (and meant I missed Glastonbury) has had an effect on my fitness that I worked so hard to build up, but thankfully not as bad as I feared. The baseline is still there and it won't take too much to get me back to where I want to be, certainly not as much as it took to get there in the first place. And I've just had my annual diabetes review and, I've got to honest, much to my surprise im still in remission. Like I said, been a tough year, and the diet and lifestyle had taken a bit of a hit. I always expected too, the changes I made to get into remission in the first place were unsustainable long term so I was always going to lapse a bit. But I lapsed quite a lot. And try my numbers held up, so that's nice.  Still not diabetic.

If you're in a public place you can be filmed. I'd always present myself in a way that I'm happy to be seen when I'm out and about. We're getting filmed all the time by CCTV 🤷🏻‍♀️
