RIP Sister Morphine herself, Marianne Faithfull.

North London Derby day. I hate this fixture, especially at their swamp. Can’t say I’ve got a lot of hope for tonight, our record there is shite. A lot better Spurs teams have lost to a lot worse Arsenal teams there. I’ll rip your arm off for a draw now.

Anyway, despite all that #COYS

@payolamusicuk.bsky.social new single, ‘The Way It All Begins’ is out on Friday. Can’t wait for you all to hear it!

Tune in on Thursday (21st) at 7pm to @thisisthemusic.bsky.social show on Future Hits radio to hear an exclusive 1st play of @payolamusicuk.bsky.social brand new single ‘The Way It All Begins’.

It’s a no nonsense, in your face, no f*cking about, 3 minute banger. Buzzing for you all to hear it.

The new @payolamusicuk.bsky.social single is coming and it is an absolute banger. Details to follow over the coming days regarding release date etc. but we are hoping for the song to have its first play next week.

This one will take your head off. Swagger & Soul & Rock & Roll.

1st rehearsal with the new band tonight. Excited, slightly nervous but buzzing. We got a big ideas, big tunes and a lot of soul. Here's hoping this is the start of, frankly, your next favourite band. #StayOnTarget #WhoYouPaying #NewMusic #Indie #Britpop

Just caught up with the new Shed Seven album, A Matter of Time. Absolutely brilliant, every track is excellent. Loved it.

What a line up this is? The Who supported by Squeeze is a dream gig for me so deffo gonna try for tickets for that. Also want tickets for Noel Gallagher as I think Royal Albert Hall is tailor made for his solo stuff.

Some of the lyrics to ‘Come On’ by my old band The Fake. One of the first tunes we did but I still love it. The words are a big ‘fuck off’ to people who are snide, bitchy and talk about you behind your back whilst being nice to your face. Plenty of those out there.

Years ago I was in, frankly, a bloody good band. Not wanting to keep this magnificence to myself I've put together 'Higher Than You've Ever Been: The Best of The Fake' playlist now available on @soundcloud. on.soundcloud.com/K3vKc. Enjoy!

'Tell us a perfect album that came out when you were 16.'

I'm cheating here as I have two.

This morning’s soundtrack

Can’t beat the Roses to start the day. It gets a bad rap but I love Second Coming, some absolute gold on here and with Tightrope, one of my favourite Roses tunes.

Tune for the afternoon

Weather has been alright this week, yet as I have the day off to play golf tomorrow…
