Posted some pictures of Pickle on the @apocalypseplayers.bsky.social discord and a fellow fan whom I met at the convention last year tagged me in this today. Adorable!

A movie that takes place where you're from.

(Ok, not quite where I’m from but definitely where I live. Not a great movie, but noteworthy for vintage Newcastle footage, a very mid Sting performance and a B-plot about a jazz band visiting from Poland who are too Out for the club they’re booked at…)

A shot from a rare solo set. A treat to play on a bill of three solo bass players, with radically different approaches. Music is the best.

Paying somebody else to grind for you in a videogame so you can look better to the nerds who prop up your ego is possibly the single saddest, most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard of a grown human doing. Jesus, man, read a fucking book.

Playing a solo set at this; three bass players exploring the solo-performer realm in radically different ways. Feb 2nd, The Globe, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Errr…something happened; we got Blood on the Clocktower for Christmas in a valiant (foolish) effort to make ourselves organise game nights again with big crowds of players. 😅

Soon, dear hearts, the summoning will commence…

Lovey evening of festive spookiness at the Star & Shadow Cinema in Newcastle. Three classic Ghost Stories for Christmas back-to-back. 💜👻

Tracking bass for a lovely folk record in Northern England. A hat in the live room is essential.
