Joan Baez has kept a relatively low public profile since wrapping up her Fare Thee Well tour in 2019, performing only on special occasions. One of those took place Monday night at the annual Tibet House benefit at New York’s Carnegie Hall, where she topped a bill that included Maggie Rogers, Laurie Anderson, Maya Hawke, the Philip Glass Ensemble, Tenzin Choegyal, and the Scorchio Quartet.
Her mini set kicked off with Steve Earle’s “God Is God,” which she recorded on her 2008 LP Day After Tomorrow. She then brought out...

Earlier this week, the pop band behind hits “Reach” and “Bring It all Back” announced they have got back together to celebrate their 25th anniversary.

Claudia Winkleman’s new talent show, The Piano, has turned many viewers into “blubbing messes”.
The Channel 4 series, which made its debut last night (15 February), sees the host of Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors go on a hunt for passionate pianists at public pianos in train stations across the UK.
Unbeknownst to the performers, they are being watched by musicians Lang Lang and Mika, who are looking for one amateur musician to perform at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
The first episode, which began at King’s Cross St Pancras, featured Lucy, a 13-year-old who is blind and neurodiverse, play a highly-complex Chopin piece.
It also saw brilliant performances from a 24-year-old called Jay from the Isle of Wight, who rapped over the piano, and a pensioner called Harry who said he plays to “block everything out of my mind”.
“The Piano is wonderful,” tweeted one fan. “Amazingly...

Love Island star Ikenna Ekwonna has admitted that he made more money before appearing on the reality show.
While love is the aim of the game on the ITV2 dating show, the success of former contestants such as Molly-Mae Hague and Amber Gill has led many to apply for the show in the hope of cashing in on lucrative influencer advertising deals and brand partnerships.
However, appearing on the Channel 4 documentary Life After Love Island, 2022 contestant Ekwonna said that his experiences post-show haven’t been all he hoped they would be.
The 23-year-old worked as a pharmaceutical sales rep before quitting his job, but said the money he made through content and advertising in his first three months after appearing on the show, amounted to between £3,000 and £4,000.
According to the show, this was “less than half than what he was earning” before appearing on Love Island, with Ekwonna admitting...
