Incredible line-up, not least because The Cords and Autocamper are playing. David Callahan's recent albums have been amazing. That ticket link again:

The day after playing Rebellion with Swell Maps, I’m at the ever-exciting and eventful PRESTON POPFEST on Saturday 9 August with a host of other bands (particularly looking forward to The Tubs, among others). Tix here:

I’m rarely on here (must try harder), but wanted to flag that the @josielong.bsky.social show in York on Sunday, a warm up for Edinburgh fringe was phenomenally good!
There are comedy moments comedy (lots of that) but also reflections that have resonated with me since…. Anyway very recommended!

It was great to be able to put on Lazarus Clamp again, and hear some new songs - new album available from Bandcamp.
Hopefully they do some more shows in 2025.

A gloriously uplifting evening as ever from @tmbg.bsky.social in Leeds last night!
First time in the balcony bit of the venue and it is a great view, but slightly feels like it may give way at any moment.
