Caught up the Shelagh Delaney episode of @backlisted.bsky.social today - a wonderful listen (still getting over the ITV interview 😮)

This podcast is consistently excellent - warmth and wisdom and such breadth.

The accompanying Locklisted pod (via Patreon) is a bi-weekly treat. Thank you 🙏

And this has an excellent review by Sharon O’Connell in this month’s Uncut magazine

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty down about my small business. I’m working so hard but it’s been very quiet. It’s bloody difficult at the moment.
Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word.

Excellent gig last night watching @theloftuk.bsky.social in Manchester + merch + I met Andy Strickland whose reviews in Record Mirror guided me as a young student on a journey into good musical taste back in the day. Thanks Andy, your “Earbenders” were always spot on!

I saw @tiffmurray.bsky.social discussing My Family and Other Rock Stars with @johnrobbofficial.bsky.social at the Louder Than Words festival recently.

This book is wonderful! Warm, funny, real, sad and the sort that you are glad there are still so many pages left to read - until there aren’t.
