It's all about the music 🎶
Last night at the O2 Institute were the fantastic Inspiral Carpets playing the classics but also dropping a new track, they have so many brilliant tunes. Great crowd, everyone was so friendly #inspiralcarpets

Saturday night and watched Wolf Alice and #SunflowerBean both bands put on a fantastic show, #wolfalice were playing #theclearing which for me is the best looking #bloodrecords releases this year with the flowers imbedded into the vinyl

Watched As Everything Unfolds on Thursday night at the Asylum #brum it was just a band having fun, no records to promote, so they could play tracks that we voted for, 3rd time i've seen them and this was the best yet, supported by #eville who are well worth a listen #aseverythingunfolds

Went to see White Lies at @hmvempire.bsky.social on Sunday to celebrate the bands 7th Album #nightlight, they looked to be having a great time together, I certainly did, a few new songs but some strong favourites to satisfy everyone #whitelies

Went to see @prolapseband.bsky.social at the International in Leicester, brilliant gig although the problem with playing new songs is you need to memorise the lyrics first. Supported by #thepeopleassembly and the wonderful @glitchmagnet.bsky.social

Went to see @senserband.bsky.social at the Castle and Falcon B'ham on Friday night, sold out gig and no wonder,still a powerful band that got the crowd going, their new album is brilliant, they were supported by @collapsedlung.bsky.social who ripped it up #senser #collapsedlung

Finally got to see #Rialto and they didn't disappoint, could have listened to Louis singing all night, what a voice. They were supporting the magnificent #Sleeper I've seen them on many occasions, even more since the 2017 #starshaped reunion show

Had a great time @roughtraderecords.bsky.social Nottingham on Monday, watching Coach Party perform their new album "Caramel" which sounded brilliant, good job as I had already brought 5 different versions, also snuck in @bloodrecs.bsky.social 3D design of "Killjoy" to be signed. #coachparty

4th time in as many months i've seen #gans this time at the wonderful just dropped in record store in Coventry. Lads were on top form and nice that they got a chart entry, number 25 in the physical (the only one that really counts) #newmusic

3rd time seeing #gans in the last two months, another night of madness 🤟
September 10, 2025 at 6:23 PM
Gans paid and performed a free gig in their hometown, Stourbridge Town Hall, for 100 fans on their mailing list, didn't use it to try out new material, although a few off the album were dropped in, they just wanted everyone to have a great time #class #gans

"Do you remember the first time ?" Yes Pulp supported blur at the AV leisure centre, watched them live many times after but Thursday night was possibly the best, confetti canons Twice) inflatable dancing car wash men, fireworks that's even before the tunes #Pulp

Friday's gig by Holly Johnson was brilliant, Holly was performing #welcometothepleasuredome and dropped in the singles from #blast and Rage/Wildlife from Liverpool but the big surprise was the b-Side "Happy Hi" unfortunately it took out a fuse at the Symphony Hall

Fantastic surprise when Revered & the Makers came on as the support for Supergrass, even though it wasn't a full band Jon still controlled the crowd, @supergrasshq.bsky.social performed the whole of "I Should Coco" plus a few hits. Watched them 30 years ago, they still have that same energy
May 17, 2025 at 10:47 AM
Great nights entertainment at the castle & Falcon on Thursday night, two brilliant fun bands "The Pill" & "Panic Shack" although I look so grumpy when Sarah jumped into the crowd !
