The first starts to go live this evening, very much a scrappy slow burn social and marketing project. Will be interesting to see if we find the right audience! 22 Apr 2025 16:18 +0000at://did:plc:2e7oqacurjgu7o7us2q74ssm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lng3eltqln24https://bsky.app/profile/ianmilleruk.com/post/3lng35yd4wg2rReally enjoying the new podcast Talk Musicals To Me by @carolinesheen.bsky.social … just listened to a great interview with Adam Guettel who’s a superb guest. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/talk-musicals-to-me/id1809880953?i=100070445046822 Apr 2025 16:14 +0000at://did:plc:2e7oqacurjgu7o7us2q74ssm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lng35yd4wg2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/ianmilleruk.com/post/3ljpkgwtuzu2qRemember, Friday at 8am, the UK Eurovision act will be revealed.

September 5 is truly gripping, the setup means it could also work as a phenomenal stage play. The Seed of a Sacred Fig is bold and brave, a must see. I did wonder if its runtime would be off putting, but it never outstays its welcome and is entirely vital.12 Feb 2025 11:51 +0000at://did:plc:2e7oqacurjgu7o7us2q74ssm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhy4cavi6z2thttps://bsky.app/profile/ianmilleruk.com/post/3lhy44guj4k2wReally enjoyed hearing Tom Kitt & Brian Yorkey’s if/then at the staged concert earlier this week. A joy to hear the full score and book for the first time. I wasn’t quite as keen on the staging in truth… but to hear the music live, with that cast, pure wow.12 Feb 2025 11:48 +0000at://did:plc:2e7oqacurjgu7o7us2q74ssm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhy44guj4k2whttps://bsky.app/profile/ianmilleruk.com/post/3lhhl6x3xsj26Testing @flashes.blue beta… so here’s a photo of my new local cinema.

Topics range from how you choose shows, to food, merch & of course ticketing Worth the time to fill in, I’d say for all live event fans https://musicfansvoice.uk04 Feb 2025 17:35 +0000at://did:plc:2e7oqacurjgu7o7us2q74ssm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhelrqehdr25https://bsky.app/profile/ianmilleruk.com/post/3lhe2h6s46a2pIf I paid the going rate of minimum £60 for every show I wanted to see in a year, I’d be broke. It just encourages the stay at home behaviour for many, making regular access to culture an elite activity. 04 Feb 2025 12:25 +0000at://did:plc:2e7oqacurjgu7o7us2q74ssm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhe2h6s46a2phttps://bsky.app/profile/ianmilleruk.com/post/3lhe2agvw2x2uPriced out of yet another musician’s upcoming shows, this time in a theatre. Handful of tickets at the back for £25 all gone along with most £55 ones by the time I reached the sale page. Prices increased through to £120. The fact these shows sell out simply encourages the pricing structure.04 Feb 2025 12:21 +0000at://did:plc:2e7oqacurjgu7o7us2q74ssm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhe2agvw2x2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/ianmilleruk.com/post/3lgspqlbwxc2zFilm fans need to sign the petition I’ve linked to help save The Prince Charles Cinema.

I’m mainly using @skeetsapp.com for the classic Twitter feel and experience. @skylight.social is in beta testing and is essentially TikTok using the Bluesky feed. It has much promise! And there are Instagram style clones incoming. All exciting.26 Jan 2025 16:08 +0000at://did:plc:2e7oqacurjgu7o7us2q74ssm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgnspmoxhw2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/ianmilleruk.com/post/3lgnsl4v6fg2pBluesky newbies… sure, it’s like old twitter, but there’s a lot you can do with the app and third party apps that use the protocol it’s built on.
