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!

Excellent evening entertained & made to think by the ever-superb #StewartLee at #SwanseaGrandTheatre. And the werewolf appeared! (Maybe some tickets left for tmrw here… *snap* them up!)

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

Caught up with another outstanding #LiveToYourLivingRoom concert tonight by the amazing @younguns.bsky.social Thanks all round! :-))

Paul & I thoroughly enjoyed mighty gig by mighty #BlindRiverScare at #RailwayInn this afternoon! Cold when out the sun but they still rocked! Or ‘countried’? Great stuff!
September 21, 2025 at 7:17 PM
Superb evening yesterday listening & watching #LeonRosselson & @robbjohnson.bsky.social #LiveToYourLivingRoom What a remarkable musical life Leon has led & still so sharp & clued up with politics! Robb, of course, a natural to pair with him! Thanks both & #LiveToYourLivingRoom for putting them on!

Could not stay until end - getting bus home but also ‘cos it was v cold & I had no warm coat… but great few hours at #PontardaweBeerFest #PontardaweInn with, yes, fine beer, music & company! Highlight for me: #BoatbarToHamburg
September 13, 2025 at 10:51 PM
Outstanding live gig in the amazing #HoxtonHall tonight by the amazing #IanNoe! So much great music around… just go out & enjoy it! And Ian more than ably supported by excellent #SammyHarrison! Cheers both (& Ian’s band of course)!
September 10, 2025 at 10:55 PM
Back to that London today on my week off, to visit stepmum tmrw & #IanNoe concert. But today a walk around the capital’s ’centre’, which got me couple good pics, & fab #EdwardBurra exhibition in #TateBritain!

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!)
September 7, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Another full day fantastic music at #moseleyfestival. Rain tried to spoil it again but less successful than yesterday! Recommend this festival big time. All ace but must note #LisaONeill for someone ace I’ve somehow missed before & #MercuryRev for being amazing still! Got up the front for them!! ;-)
August 31, 2025 at 10:23 PM
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! :-))
August 30, 2025 at 10:47 PM
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!!
August 29, 2025 at 10:38 PM
Most excellent #SwanseaCamra evening with mighty beer ably supported by ace music by #CurrantsBand & most of all by such a great mixed group of positive people! There IS hope for this world… Thanks, I need that!!

Beginning to assemble the barrels for Swansea Campaign for Real Ale beer festival (& cider!) in Brangwyn Hall Thurs-Sat this week! ;-)

Well done #SwanseaAmplitudeFestival - only caught #WheresMolly today but mighty fine indie band! Cheers…

Fab day with #SwanseaCAMRA exploring the trainline to Whitland &, hmmm nearly forgot!, the pubs there and back (well, those that sell good beer anyhow!)… Cheers!
August 9, 2025 at 9:41 PM
Well done @theguardian.com for this front page on 80th anniversary of #Hiroshima atom bomb… No words needed! 😔 😡
August 6, 2025 at 10:56 AM
Yet again mighty afternoon #RailwayInnSwansea with excellent #beer & #music! This afternoon was excellent #DaveDarrell doing a superb diverse set with not least mighty version of Springsteen’s River but with much more too. Cheers!
August 3, 2025 at 6:26 PM
Splendid evening #UplandsTavern at #BlindRiverScare gig! Tim & gang on mighty form & can’t wait to see them again at #RailwayInn in September. :-))
