Happy to say #BobDylan did not disappoint last night… His voice stronger than I feared &, of course, his band excellent. No banter with the crowd of course but you can’t expect miracles! Cheers Bob!!

My #musicweekend day 2 (Friday). Great evening in #Swansea #TaliesinArtsCentre where #Pulp’s guitarist #MarkWebber had his fine book (I’m With Pulp, Are You?) promotion. Good crowd with some coming a long way. And got my book signed!

In my work I’ve published a lot over the years but this short entry in the just published - huge & highly recommended! - Billy Bragg A People’s History - made me very very pleased! Yep, been ‘with’ Mr Bragg since Christmas 1983! 😊

What amazing evening yesterday - 5+ hrs! - with Life & Songs of #MartinCarthy presented by so many famous names. Only Martin’s immense contribution to folk & skill of #JonWilkes & team could get so many top artists together - too many to list! Just few in this ‘pub stage’ picture

Okay, it may be Autumn now (brrr..) but mighty #Railway in #UpperKillay still have live music at weekends! So, walked up today in grim rain for another fine 2 hours of music… Cheers!
(And it filled up big time when the rain stopped!)

A full day - 11 hours! - of fantastic music at #moseleyfestival from 13 diverse acts. Honestly loved them all - less welcome was the rain! - but the fantastic #fatherjohnmisty certainly merited the headline slot! :-))

Although our fine #Geography annual RGS-IBG conference didn’t finish until 6.30 so I couldn’t catch much at #MoseleyFestival today, #Waterboys headliners were more than up to it. Excellent stuff!!
