This'll be fun, and if it isn't, you can come heckle me on the correct pronunciation of Tago Mago, or something...
This is going to be awesome, and did we mention it's FREE?
Evening performances (and Sunday's family workshop) open to all!

Not to get too LinkedIn on here, but I have some spare freelance capacity this autumn so DM me if you're looking to hire a music writer, copywriter (certified actual human), editor, comms person or ultra-nerdy proofreader. Newsletters, festival brochures, hacking down words to fit, whatever!

Oh! New Wire arrived while I was on holiday. There’s a fantastic @abibliss.bsky.social interview with the two remaining Cabs unknotting much of their history plus I was psyched to talk to members of Black Audio Film Collective about their industrial relations

Would very much recommend a digital subscription if you don't have a creaking loft like me. 40+ years' worth of searchable issues and your roof beams will remain intact...

Post a photo of yourself from a different era:
1) Home painted Op Art and a black velvet Desiderata poster (top right)... it's June 1980, but still 1973 somehow.
2) Chesil Beach, later in summer 1980, jacket handed down from sometime in the '70s.
