Enraged at the news that @RishiSunak thinks musician should retrain during the economic disaster he helped create. You failed our sector and now you're throwing us to the wolves.

Not just musicians though is it? It's our technicians, our engineers, our management, our agent, our promoter. It's the venues, their staff, the production companies, transport, storage. It's roughly one million people you're throwing on the job market.

Our hearts are broken. Goodnight Mr. Steve Strange. Agent extraodinaire. The heart of a lion. Straight outta Carrick, he changed this business forever. Our force. Our constant source. Our Shining Light. Miss you like crazy Strangey.

Girl From Mars. This is our secret weapon, held over from the Trailer era, we knew there was something special with this song. We decided with our team this would be best left until after we’d finished school when we could devote all our time to promoting it.

Happy 17th birthday to Free All Angels. Our 3rd album & second number one. Our label told us not to get too excited by the midweek as Sony were throwing everything at Janet Jackson’s new album to secure her first UK top spot. Amazingly we managed to hold on thanks of you guys!

If you look closely, there's four drummers in this photo. The one photo bombing over Taylor's shoulder is Steve Strange out late great agent. We played the final leg of his memorial last night. To wake up to news of Taylor this morning is beyond tragic. 1/2

Goldfinger. The first song we recorded on the main album session, which started on New Years Day 1996. I always felt this song was something special. The previous year’s singles had been a big procession in our sound but for me this one took a leap. #timstwitterlisteningparty

Heard yesterday that Burn Baby Burn is one of 3 songs on this year’s GCSE curriculum. The irony is that I wasn’t allowed to study GCSE Music in school 🤓🤘 I have this to thank for my deep understanding of Physics which I studied instead

Every failure you have been responsible for has pushed the return of live music further into the future. You've not learned a single lesson from the first wave. If you're not up to the job your cabal should step aside and let this sector sort out your mess.

Kung Fu. The song that was almost a B-side! This was written in 3 minutes before we left Tim’s house for the airport to do our first recording session with Owen. He’d been watching a load of Jackie Chan movies and bingeing on Ramones records. #timstwitterlisteningparty

What an amazing fifteen months that was to relive! We’d gone from school kids to being the first Irish band to top the charts with their debut LP. And it was the start of the rollercoaster we’d ride for the next 25 years. #timstwitterlisteningparty

We had a difficult job to do last night but I think last night at the Roundhouse would have made our dear friend very proud.
In fact I'm beginning to suspect it went exactly how he planned it. He really was there every step of the way.
Love you mate. Xxx
Our hearts are broken. Goodnight Mr. Steve Strange. Agent extraodinaire. The heart of a lion. Straight outta Carrick, he changed this business forever. Our force. Our constant source. Our Shining Light. Miss you like crazy Strangey.

Lost In You. It’s the final night at Rockfield Studio and we need one more song and it needs to be a ballad. Tim runs off to his room with an acoustic and we wait. dunno how long it took but when he comes back he’s got this gem. #timstwitterlisteningparty

And we’re broke, or at least very close. What do we do? What any 23 year old rock stars would; pay for the studio ourselves with the last of our money and record a gem of a single. Owen waived his fee too; fucking sweetheart that man. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

SHINING LIGHT. Its the night before Joe Strummer’s gig and Tim phones; he can’t make the gig because he’s writing a song that could be the comeback single we’re looking for. Fair enough but gutted to miss out on playing I FOUGHT THE LAW with Joe. #TimsTwitterListeningParty
