Infopro, currently working on an NHS EPR, but this is mostly music, theatre, arts, Sheffield, cats & a bit of leftish politics...

Also, @Sheffiness on IG for anyone who likes fuzzy phone gig pics

I made a starter pack - mainly to see how it works - comprising some of my music picks - artists and labels - indie with a UK flavour...

I also have a much longer list via my profile page, with loads of additional music related accounts on it.

#totp 1977... from Roxy Music - Virginia Plain, to Boney M - Belfast (banger!!), and then Elvis Costello - Watching the Detectives

What a fantastic week that was!

The one that started my live music journey... but also brought Japan to an end.

It was... unique, iconic, beguiling...

When the physio is marvelling at how many joint/ligament/tendon issues you've had... and no, I've never been an athlete 😅

This cheery, nearly 20-year old tune has been following me around for the last week or so, brightening up a gloomy November.

Curious to know why it's back on air again...

It's not just TRNSMT... UK mid-large tier festivals nearly all have a problem with this.

Telegraph journalist on Trevor Phillips... whataboutery re NHS using fax.

No, this is no longer a thing. There was a specific initiative (under the Tories according to Google) to get rid of them. In 2020. Much too late, but fax is gone. Electronic correspondence is becoming the norm.

I'm a classical music novice, but like to dip my toe in now and again, and was very lucky to attend this via Tickets for Good.

@musicintheround.bsky.social are always quality events and very accessible. Loved the choice of scores played at this one.

3x customer service issues this morning. I don't usually bother, but it's been one of those weeks. Don't push the buttons of a menopausal woman when they're having a rough time of it 😂
