Great art outing yesterday to see the inimitable @sarahmapleart’s brilliant new exhibition at @jealous_london, with the finest of company in the shape of @rachelhowardart, @irvine.welsh and the one and only @katebryan_art. Catch Sarah and Kate in the film Irvine and I just wrapped up, “Offended by Irvine Welsh”, coming to @skyarts very soon! (at Jealous) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKjCY9F43q/?igshid=16jn9qa53nov3

Jump London turns 17 this week... it premiered on Sept 9, 2003, then went on to be shown on TV in 80 countries, and i guess the rest is history. I mean it does actually feel like 17 years since I made it for @channel4, but still. #parkour #og #documentary #channel4 #freerunning (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CExExRal4Zl/?igshid=hx5kqhq23k8d

Scanning some old photos and found one of me sat on on the empty stage of the @fac51thehaciendaofficial, the day after we’d done the #derekjarman and @petshopboys concert - 📸 the inimitable Howard Sooley @idleriver (at The Hacienda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEkW52l7p6/?igshid=hujcbnufsy53

@suedehq were highly co-operative with my interview techniques this summer while being probed for a long discussed new documentary. Here they are fully engaged with my questioning, attentive, focussed solely on me... ;) “erm, guys...” Delighted Suede: The Insatiable Ones feature has finally been announced. Coming to Sky Arts in November and TV screens elsewhere and probably everywhere sometime after! #skyarts #bmgfilms https://www.instagram.com/p/BnoDKG4lfZO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lxl4ug4wrqoo
