At 3 a.m. one night in 1988, Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole called a local studio and said he needed to record something immediately.
He pleaded with the engineer: "Please, can I come in? I have an idea."
Kamakawiwo'ole recorded the iconic version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in one take, which would soon touch countless people across the globe.

Johnson has made a terrible, terrible decision today. Here's my summary of why:

Open letter sent today to BBC Director General Lord Tony Hall by over 150 BBC PAYE freelancers who still fall between the cracks of government support. No furlough, no SEISS. Change is needed for #forgottenfreelancers yumpu.com/s/gd9WAQZT8nlBpDvM

Here’s a game of spot the difference. 1) @dailymail ‘s pic of me & my dad 2) the actual picture. Socially distant, no physical contact & was bringing them food. Been a long month of no contact, my mum worked for the NHS her whole career so she was ruthless about distance. Thanks

Massive thanks to 'the founding fathers' and everyone else who has helped over the years. Its a labour of love for everyone involved.
10 years ago today, me, @SR_Poolie, @CraigNelsonBT and 'Beautiful Chris' Gilliver had a baby.
A baby called @silent_radio. It's still going strong and is dead good:

I feel for @buryfcofficial fans.
Never really got a chance to say ‘Thank You’ for giving me an opportunity to get back into the professional game after my first battle with cancer. When so many didn’t. Truly grateful.

All 20 Premier League clubs were asked for a £250,000 contribution so that the leagues exec chairman Richard Scudamore could be given a £5m farewell gift and no one can save a football club from going bust! Football is the worse business on the planet ! #BuryFc

Our thoughts go out to @buryfcofficial and all of the Club's fans at this difficult time. We've been there, and although it's tough now we promise that there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Stay strong, you'll be back. 💪 @forever_bury
