The Shonk

No spoilers but you're going to love this film! Wonderful storytelling, creative, funny and a million miles from the dross we're used to. Stacey's time on the big screen steals the show for me, biased maybe, but her part was nuanced and captivating, 10/10 Tom Cruise gives it everything and you're there for it... Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Jesse Plemons, all tremendous, all bringing big energy. No notes. Go see this film on the weekend! #digger #tomcruise #movietime

The beautiful people at the first annual @screencraftguildcymru2026 EMBER AWARDS a fantastic night, well done to the nominees and winners! We will patiently wait for the best SA category or the best DIY low budget YouTube music show category! Until then it's free canapes, red carpets and shmoozing! #awardnight #welshfilm #costumedepartment

from the sessions by @wakeyx1 and @the.goodmournings with the one and only Jeff Rose, Newport's number one beautiful thing when it comes to producing. Niro the studio dog had a lovely time. #newmusic #MUSICSTUDIO #banddog

Some time together with my career gal and @screencraftguildcymru2026 shortlist nominee @staceyricp Delicious food and drinks at the @dragonflynewport #powercouple

Death Grips walked so @yhwhnailgun could run. First midweek gig in years, first time at @clwbiforbach in years. Fought the urge to stay in. Heard one track by this mysterious group and had to know more. Needed to understand. Vocals sung inside out like Goblin, maximalism tried and tested on the drums, oddest drum kit to gaze upon, an unrelenting machine. Guitar floating maliciously through the air like sounds of a far off carnival mixed with local industry. Sub base and innocuous synth sounds tempting you down dark alleyways, playful and dangerous. Embodiment of the sound of a city, equal part mechanic equal part organic. Vocals delivered by a young pastor possessed, comfortable with his demon but terrified of what they may say. Last time I was scared at a gig it was psychobilly cattle not the actual music that gave me the heebie-jeebies. An addictive fear. Replay, replay, I want to feel it in my bones. Unsettled, overwhelmed, beautifully baffled by this audacious display reminding us that music only has rules when we say it does. Greatest disturbing sound since @_housewives_ #yhwh #gigreview #livemusic #newyorkmusic

You ain't gettin in. #dogsofinstagram #cowboy #cat
