Had an absolute blast last night. The sheer joy of seeing a band you've loved for 30 years - dancing and singing along to every word - was much needed.
Amongst the many highlights in their set last night: Pulp doing 'Babies' in front of 23000 at the Co Op live, Manchester.

What a day roaming around the inner sanctum of Goodison Park for the last time.
I've not been able to get to a match this season, so to go one more time meant an awful lot.
Here are the requisite pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Had to fight back the tears.
Dreamt of this moment for nearly 40 years.
I'm going to miss Goodison Park so much.

I miss being in a small, mountain town in Sicily for a festival with my mates. Last summer seems like a lifetime ago.

Looking forward to a lovely cruise down the River Dee for some indie pop shenanigans. Going to be a fun night with @thisfunctionalcity.bsky.social

The Glastonbury line-up is getting a right kicking. I don't think it's too bad personally. Only Pyramid headliner I would watch is Neil Young, but then I'm an old white dude.
It's almost entirely what I expected, with a few surprises thrown in. Might even get there this year with a bit of luck.

Just to give you an indication of the sort of music I love and write about, here's a silly fantasy festival line-up based on my listening habits this year. Some old, some very new.
