Wow!! Doesn’t time fly?!
It’s soon to be the 18-year anniversary of the first time that we ever played with our pals, the Felt Tips.
The year was 2007 and indiepop was all the rage.

Was splendid. Actually, it was fucking brilliant. Very much looking forward to the gig in Glasgow on 22nd with The Just Joans in support.
Me and the other Felt Tips had such a great night on Saturday at The Betsey Trotwood in London. Thanks to @indiepophalloffame.bsky.social for the photos and to everyone for coming to see us celebrate the reissue of our debut album on @unspunheroes.com
A couple more photos from The Felt Tips last night - tagging @patsbus.bsky.social which I neglected to do yesterday. Take a bow one and all 👏👏 @unspunheroes.com

Home now. New medication, the side effects of which do not make for easy reading.
Anyway, enough of my personal health battles, it's dull. I'll post music stuff from now on. Need a cuppa first.

I don’t normally get involved in politics here because, well, because… but this story is giving me massive Dayum Burger vibes, and there’s no bad reason to watch that classic of the genre.

Well, the call with the label went fantastically well. They're an indie so we bonded over a love of music. Now we move on to the next stage.
I’ve no idea how I might afford it, but the first possible Unspun Heroes release of 2026 inches a little closer. Meeting being arranged for this week with the label.
The finances will be worked out when I know what that might entail.
This is the one of interest to John Martyn fans, btw.
