Brilliant wknd of music to kick off Christmas. You have to start with a brass band in Yorkshire (Otley Brass last night). Today we launched our Ramones EP with @commonerschoir.bsky.social & West Yorkshire Symphony. Toast to leaders of all community music groups. They support the best parts of life.

Syd back in his current favourite place, under the duvet snuggling with mum - mum likes her purry hot water bottle too 🐈💖

Just back from a preview evening of Light Night Wigan - I’m volunteering there on Saturday - it’s going to be fabulous - do come if you’re local - it’s free but you need to book a slot. Loads more light installations than I show here 💖 It’s on tomorrow, Friday and Saturday evenings 4-10pm.

Ey up fellow new bskyers. It's lovely to see new followers, we thank you.
Heads up - if there's nowt in your profile many people won't follow back. We want to know what we're in for :)
Here's a song we wrote, inspired by @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social to celebrate workers.

I hardly used Twitter so don’t need this, but it might be useful to others.
I’m currently in the process of importing all my old Twitter tweets to this Bluesky account using a company called Blueark … for an account as big as mine it cost $35 to do the lot.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Hello BlueSky!

Like many of you, I find starting from scratch on new platforms heartbreaking work, but it will be nice not to have to swim in X's septic tank anymore.

Anyway, here I am. Would be good to either reconnect or meet new folks.
