While researching my book on 1986’s Highlander I discovered that filming of the final Silvercup fight took place during Live Aid. The concert boosted Queen’s popularity even further and a few months later they got the Highlander soundtrack gig.

Is this the Kurgan's leather jacket in an episode of Minder?
@HighlanderStuff I came home from work, turned on my tv and was greeted with this. I found the episode on YouTube and took these screenshots. https://t.co/4gLSkY1mUH from about 16 mins in!!

In @kindofmagicbook I discussed the various lost/deleted Highlander scenes that only exist as photos... but what if AI could recreate them? Highlander Heart has had a go at doing just that in this new video... https://t.co/2520tmjgKw

It was 7 years today that Kevin Bacon came to Edinburgh to have his photo taken with a copy of @TremorsGuide - the book is still available to order from all good bookshops!
Belated thanks to @kevinbacon for saying hello during his visit to Edinburgh - glad he now owns two copies of the #Tremors book ;)

For #BookshopDay I took a trip to the brilliant @PortyBooks (and spotted two of my books) and @argonaut_books, buying a few things along the way. Long live local bookshops, visit one this weekend if you get a chance. 📚📚

Just 11 months after the last one, I've sent out a newsletter with some Local Hero, Tremors and Highlander updates, plus a few plugs for random films, telly and books I've been enjoying - if you like that sort of thing then head over to Substack... https://t.co/avTZqLHCNs

Now THAT'S how you do a Highlander 4K cover. Not scary at all.

There’s a lot of love for Highlander in the book, and a lot of new interviews (still amazed Brian May and Roger Taylor spoke to me for this, never mind Clancy), hope you enjoy it! 🏴 ⚔️
@jon_melville Discovered this yesterday in Waterstones. I'm so happy that this incredible movie still gets so much love and I can't wait to get tore into this book. I've also had It's a Kind of Magic in my head non stop since finding this 😃👌🏻
