Anyone going to #ManchesterPsychFest? Thoroughly recommend #DuBlonde. Saw them at #SFTOC and they were great. When I last went to psych fest, the queues were mad and you couldn't change venues easily. Is it still like that? www.manchesterpsychfest.com/2025

How good is this guy?! He’s like a plastic collectible of old but made of pottery. And there’s a whole family of him, all with different features and traits. Made by Helen Baker at Clay Studio in Manchester. www.instagram.com/hbceramix?ig...

Back listening to The Wicker Man soundtrack again. Nothing like a bit of creepy folk to brighten up the week. Can’t work out which track is my favourite though.

Do only older people (like me) go to smaller gigs/venues? Am curious as to whether I am just liking music that other oldies seem to like or whether younger people are gravitating to larger gigs/festivals? I've used a gif because I am OLD. Do you see. And it's from an OLD film. I am justified and...
a group of people are sitting in a crowd and one of them is wearing a t-shirt that says " i love you "

The New Oxford Cinema in Manchester in the early-70s, a long time before dedicated multiplexes reached the UK - featuring a horror-thriller double bill. It was then one of three Rank owned-and-operated movie houses serving the city centre, the others being The Odeon and The Gaumont

I did not know the Emmerdale theme had lyrics? Are there other themes like this.
As discussed elsewhere on here, the Emmerdale Farm theme has lyrics. And here's Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent performing it at the studios of Border Television.
They are rammed into the tiny studio with a piano and audience so look how awkward the camera angles and lighting is.
