Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the weekly podcast with me, Steve Richards.

Thank you very much for tuning in.

The second of the new political year.

It is really September, the start of another political year,

although I think the continuity with the end of the last one is pretty marked.

Before I get going, a couple of announcements. I'm going to be doing a live show,

virus permitting, socially distanced audience, at King's Place, reopening the main hall

at King's Place in North London, live on Friday the September the 18th and tickets there are still some tickets available

on the Kings Place website so we can all get together like we used to do in the olden days

and it'll be fun but also that show will be streamed so if you can't get to it because you live in New York,

or that's the only excuse for not coming live,

you can watch the streamed version.

There are tickets for that also on the King's Place website.

So streamed and in that concert hall, it's like kind of breaking into a place that you're told you're never allowed to go to.

That's on the 18th of this month, September the 18th. And then on the 19th, the following day on the Saturday, I'm at the great

Rope Tackle Art Centre in Shoreham. It's a lovely place, I've been there many times before.

And so hopefully some of you on that kind of South Coast, Brighton, everywhere. Bournemouth,

all come to the Rope Tackle, and tickets are available on their website.

And then the following Saturday, what dates that, the 26th of September, for the first time

I'm at the Greenwich Theatre.

I'm always getting tweets saying, can you come to South London, you know, the river being in the way and things. So I'm really looking forward to it. It's a lovely theatre, the Greenwich Theatre, and tickets are available on their website. So virus permitting, live shows three in that week, and there are a few tickets left at each of those

venues, I think, as I speak. So hopefully see you. If not, please join the live stream from
