I hate click bait but sometimes it’s just too hard to resist.

Lovely solo acoustic show from @billie-marten.bsky.social tonight at @roughtraderecords.bsky.social Nottingham. Her new album ‘Dog Eared’ is a strong contender for album of the year. Stunning.

Absolutely unforgettable #RHLSTP tonight with the legendary Bernie Clifton as part of the Sheffield ‘Crossed Wires’ Festival.
What a force of nature Bernie is. @richardherring.bsky.social hasn’t had less to do since he ‘interviewed’ Brian Blessed. Magical evening.

A day of ‘Falls’ in beautiful Scotland 🏴 First up the Falls of Dochart in Killin then Acharn Falls near Taymouth and finally The Birks of Aberfeldy. Finished at Dewars Distillery with a 21 year old Scotch which was delicious. #VisitScotland #Scotland @dewars.bsky.social

Never had a view on this particular debate before. But having tried Marmite for the first time I’m afraid it’s a ‘hate it’ from me.

Lovely first day in Bonnie Scotland 🏴 Stopped off at Loch Katrine on the way to Killin. Took a trip up and down the Loch on the Steamship Sir Walter Scott 🚢 which was a lot of fun. Beautiful scenery as always.

I’ve got two tickets for tomorrow night to see comedian Andrew Bird in Sheffield but sadly I can no longer go. Happy to give free to a good home if someone wants to go along. Give me a shout if you want them.

Superb gig last night in The Shacklewell Arms in East London in a fab performance space. Kipp Boucher was the absolute standout for me. Lovely tunes.

Superb gig last night at the Hallamshire Hotel in Sheffield. Juanita Stein (from Howling Bells) did a lovely set. Did a fair few from her new album The Weightless Hour which is wonderful. open.spotify.com/album/7kDBmm...
