JACK WHITE. Absolutely incredible at the Troxy tonight. As far as birthday gigs go, that’s going to take some topping.

It’s my birthday eve and I got an awesome, pretty on-brand early gift from my Exec at work.

Only just catching up on the heartbreaking news about Rick Buckler.

Not only were The Jam a formative band for me, but I was lucky enough to meet Rick years ago and hear his stories about their early days.

Such a friendly, engaging and talented person.

Ever get the feeling that they just lost their creativity and couldn’t be arsed when they were naming streets in the city?

Got a bit hammered this evening. My recent search history covers all the key conversation points though. Nice variety there.

Fiery Stevenage skies.

Now THAT was a fucking new years to remember! Genuinely, I’m deliriously and overwhelmingly happy to put the shitshow that was 2024 in the bin.

ONWARDS!

Christmas dinner.

Just one? I’ve had ridiculous accusations about looking like this lot. Honestly.

Here’s my stuff. A little surprised, but not very. That’s my music review of the year *bows*

Fontaines DC were ace in Leeds last night.

Eh up Leeds! Pre-gig drinks are happening ahead of Fontaines DC tonight. Cannot wait!

MANIFEST.

Kind of. Either way, Biscoff cheesecake is god tier dessert.
