Minor American theme to a couple of beers tonight!

2 gorgeous records arrived today, both by bands formerly on the hallowed Sarah record label. Gorgeous reissue of 1989's 'Lyceum' by The Orchids, with loads of extras & the sublime 'There's More to Life than Crooks' by Lightning in a Twilight Hour (Bobby Wratten - ex Field Mice)

Had an afternoon in Cumbria's brewing capital, Kendal, on Tuesday. 4 pubs visited; The Duke od Cumberland, 98 Highgate, the amazing Ring O'Bells & the jewel in the Crown, The New Union #pubs #Cumbria #realale

Last night at The Glad Cafe Glasgow, lots of former Sarah records artists playing a beautiful triple header gig; The Catenary Wires, Vetchinsky Settings & The Gentle Spring.

Cats not keen on the howling wind, they rarely get this close to each other.. #cats #storm

From the end of that glorious decade, the 80s, 'Silvertown' from The Men They Couldn't Hang, a band I love as much today as I did all those years ago. #music #vinyl

Stayed in a @lloydcole.bsky.social frame of mind, piat Tuesday's superb Glasgow gig, so this is getting a spin, a good few tracks were given an airing which was great to hear

Post Lloyd Cole gig in Glasgow last night, I visited The Pot Still - an incredible whisky pub on Hope Street. It was full at 1030 & I was hugely impressed by the staff knowledge as they dealt with a constant stream of requests. Great cask beer too #whisky
