Great weekend delivering oral history training for the @1in12club.bsky.social as part of Bradford City of Culture 25. Really lovely people and an important project. Got tipped off to visit the Kunafa Tea restaurant for delicious Syrian food too.

#nowspinning Sly and the Family Stone - Fresh

What's better than Sly doing a flying kick? Anyone who doesn't like this music is weird.

#nowspinning whatever the weather - whatever the weather (Loraine James)

I love lots of this album and the concept of it all. I think she's amazing but it's quite challenging in parts and I need to listen to it more! Definitely not bored of it yet though and looking forward to the follow up.

As far as train station pubs in the UK go the one at Doncaster takes some beating.

I love Phlegm. He's such an imaginative artist and gets everywhere. This one in Ibiza. Very proud of his Sheffield connections too.

Spent yesterday evening recording the amazing multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Draper playing cello.

If you go to any open mic folk or jazz night in Sheffield, you're guaranteed to see him there wowing the audience.

A huge pleasure having him play on a track.
