Music, football, dogs. Pay the artists for the art that makes your life better.
20 November 1994 - Gene@The Leadmill, Sheffield

A fan of the early run of singles especially “Olympian” and they were a surprisingly robust live act.
Fairly sure Justine Frischmann was stood directly behind me and yakked to her friend throughout. If it was you, Justine, bad form!

This - finally - is the definitive musical history Sheffield so richly deserves.

GROOVY, LAIDBACK AND NASTY is @danieldylanwray.bsky.social's authoritative and hugely entertaining story of the city, told through its independent artists, scenes and spirit.

1981. This was great fun at 15. Virtually all of the singles up to that point plus the best of their previous two albums. Support was the abysmal Anti- Nowhere League.

The Smiths 16 November 1983 - Leicester Poly

Fourth time seeing them but first time as a headliner. A minibus for the short trek to Leicester is arranged. Armed with a hit single, every audience is devoted. Highlights are “This night has opened my eyes” and “TCM” twice over. Red Guitars support.

Always liked “Little Arithmetics” so bought this in Oxfam today for £3. And the Van Morrison album for £4. Quietly pleased.

It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.

So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.

Another spin for one of my top 3 from 2025. Opener “Christopher and His Kind” is as good as anything KOD put out.
Hebden Bridge three weeks from today. Yes.

I have this gorgeous copy of Blowing Your Mind by Van the miserable Man which i would love to find an original sleeve for.

Does anyone have a tired copy, which a VG or better sleeve they'd be willing to sell to me (or for some Brighter Day credit)?

The Sound Leicester Poly 7/11/1982.

Tiny campus venue, maybe 40 people there. Subsidised student bar, by the time the-band arrived our approval was loud. Adrian Borland kindly indulged us backstage afterwards. We were young and drunk but he could tell we genuinely loved his band. And what a band.

Wilco/The Clientele.- Leeds Academy - 03/11/09

The Clientele are new to me and their lovely wistful songs make an instant fan of me. Music to watch city life through rain streaked windows.
Wilco are glorious. simultaneously tight and loose, “Bull Black Nova” sounds huge and one highlight of many.

Just realised it was 37 years ago yesterday when I last saw The Go-Betweens. Not the same without Robert Vickers but what a great set list. Support from Diesel Park West.

17 years ago today at The Foundry, Sheffield Uni’. Supported by J Tillman.
Possibly the last band I completely fell in love with on first hearing. It was freezing cold that night and the first time I noticed a fair few of the audience were in their sixties or older. I was 42, a mere boy.

39 years ago today. My only sighting of solo Julian in the wild. Set comprising of first 3 solo albums plus a couple of TE singles. Julian on fine form using that mic stand to great effect and with a great band backing him. Support from Primal Scream Mk 1 at the peak of their early powers.

Just been to see Gillian Welch & David Rawlings at Manchester Apollo. Spellbinding stuff. Perfect sound, flawless playing and where to start with that voice.
Plus a cover of “White Rabbit” to end the show. Was not expecting that.

40 years ago today

The Weather Prophets/Primal Scream/The Bodines/Meat Whiplash - Hammersmith Clarendon.

One of the first WP shows? Primal Scream did 6 songs in 15 minutes. The Bodines had a clutch of fine tunes that never really made the transition to record. Meat Whiplash had “Don’t Slip Up”.

The Coral 18.10.2007 Sheffield Octagon.

In support of a great album “Roots And Echoes” and I got to hear my second favourite Coral song “Music at Night”. But most memorable in being my lad’s first concert aged 14. He loved it.

30 September 1992. Sugar at The Leadmill, Sheffield. Insanely loud from start to finish but the ferocity and intensity builds until it peaks with Tilted and JC Auto. My ears were ringing for days afterwards.
