13 h. ago Joy Crookes review – an enthralling, intimate set from this rising London soul star

Islington Assembly Hall, LondonThe twentysomething singer-songwriter brings classic Motown rhythms with a touch of hip-hop to a resounding set of anti-anxiety anthemsJoy Crookes is only 26, but the south Londoner’s music already feels omnipresent. One song in particular, at least: Feet Don’t Fail Me Now seems to be absolutely everywhere. I hear it in cafes and bars, trendy boutiques and grimy off-licences and, when I forget to turn it off, the autoplay function on my streaming app of choice. The song only came out in 2021, as a single from Crookes’s acclaimed debut album, Skin, and even if it doesn’t yet feel canonical, it has at least thoroughly saturated certain pockets of the city.Which makes it all the more remarkable that, when Crookes plays it at Islington Assembly Hall this evening – an “intimate”, or intimate for her, show at only 890 people – one of the Brits Week for War Child charity shows, it doesn’t even garner the biggest singalong of the evening.

Friendships become closer as you get older argues the novelist, because by middle age everyone has faced dramatic challenges, disappointments and sorrows – and being honest about them is a powerful point of bondingMy ninth book is published this week, and in recent years I’ve described my writing like this: I take care with my sentences, but exquisite prose isn’t my goal. My goal is to give the reader the feeling that you – and by you, I mean me – have when you’re going for a long walk with a close friend, and the friend says: “The craziest thing just happened to me.” What?! You think and possibly say. Tell me immediately! And then what happened, and then what happened? As a writer, this is the urgency I’m chasing, this is the investment, the richness of emotion, the confiding and closeness and caring.A line in Miranda July’s 2024 novel All Fours, a book I’ve discussed with many friends, perfectly captures for me this sense of participating in a bottomless conversation: “I was often...

28 h. ago Friendship, fitness and freedom: why LGBTQ+ Australians are turning to sports clubs to find ‘queer joy’

A growing number of fitness groups are catering to the LGBTQ+ community, with the opportunity to build genuine connections the biggest drawcardGet our weekend culture and lifestyle emailGay bars have traditionally been the most visible queer-inclusive spaces in Australia for LGBTQ+ people to gather. But with dim lighting, loud music and a focus on alcohol, they aren’t always conducive to genuine connection – or welcoming to all. And with dating apps blamed for the closure of gay bars and a trend towards younger people drinking less, many LGBTQ+ Australians are finding community through sport.“It’s so intimidating to go to a gay bar,” says Michael Pereira, 34. “People think you’re going to have this Sex and the City experience and suddenly meet your authentic friends I couldn’t do that.” Continue reading...
