RIP to a true load of drip, Nigel Cabourn. Thinking of womenswear designer, Emilie Casiez at this sad time…

Brilliant to hear my fave song from the Beta Band.

What a night with the Beta Band.

the Beta Band. Can you believe it? Already tonight - should be a belter!

Another brilliant show tonight. Thanks Tortoise and Jim for the best two days xx

Tortoise again.

James Ellington (His brother Ben, one of our 6musicfamily friends) Amazingly, Jim on stage was filling in for Jeff Parker. What a pro! Sounded like he's playing all those parts with the band Tortoise for years.

Sad to hear the news about Bob Harris. When I started community radio stuff, back when Tw**tter was a more welcoming place, Electronic Sound mag told me my presenting style reminded them of 'whispering' Bob. I told them I was honoured. Shortly after Bob Harris replied... me too. Always the gent 💙x

Thank you so much, Tortoise and James xx

TORTOISE

@joearmonjones.bsky.social The effortless meld of Jazz, R&B, funk, dub reggae and more was brilliant!!!

. @joearmonjones.bsky.social with Jaega McKenna-Gordon(Dr) and Mutale Chashi(Ba). What a gorgeous, perfect band!

DEFTONES in Tokyo. It was such a staggeringly brilliant show. Their new album 🐍 is excellent. It deservedly featured heavily in tonight's setlist, but there was nevertheless time for a number of older favourites from the last three decades too.

🌊 Diving into a sea of atmospheric melodies and heavy riffs, DEFTONES take me on an unforgettable sonic journey 🚀⁣

DEFTONES TONIGHT 🐍

Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, with only his guitar, blew my mind. It's been a good 20 years… Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder was my first love of grunge. All things grunge, Pearl Jam always top.

Now I'm thinking about the 90s grunge… Eddie Vedder's voice hasn’t changed at all and I am utterly baffled 👏👏👏

Almost a miracle. In 15 minutes this will be my view from the front row seat. Cannot wait to have the Eddie Vedder music.

I'm just here for the Eddie Vedder show!! I was a huge loving grunge girl (still love it).

My favourite new band The Folk B*tch Trio in Tokyo tonight. Their triple voices, harmonies and melodies were simply beautiful, truly heavenly. I almost didn’t take any pics and videos, so it felt so cathartic.

I was surrounded by full of FBT fans of men there. Some of their fans were Japanese men/middle aged men who lack morals.

Folk B*tch Trio in Tokyo tonight. Their one night only show in Japan.

Following a year away, I'm back on @vpraudioclub.bsky.social The first of four seasonal shows planned for the year kicking off with this Spring edition 🌱 An eclectic selection of recent releases from the year so far, plus a 30 minute mix to reflect the season... www.mixcloud.com/vpraudioclub...

Got to see Liquid Sky tonight. That really is a singular film, but it didn't matter how many times I saw the film over, I still couldn't understand it. So addictive!!

Need someone to merge Niall & Harry singing Tears for Fears together badly!!

Tommy DeCarlo died on the same calendar day as Brad Delp? That's crazy! Boston is one of my favourites of all time. RIP to both singers from the band.

Lighting up in the colours of the Olympic rings.

Some heavy riffage and noise from GEESE the band. Still coming down from seeing Brooklyn's most thrilling young band in such a small venue. Can't adequately describe just how great these guys were last night in Tokyo. Incredible energy in the small room.

Night run 🌸

Good Tuesday afternoon. Gōtokuji Temple and some lucky cats.

Saturday evening run. It's a bit rainy and chilly out.

Had a great night with new and old friends. Thanks to my friend for playing V/B.

Thank you Seb-san of Viagra Boys for taking the time to chat/take pics xx

What a night - what an absolute banger of a night. Viagra Boys' set tonight in Tokyo was one for the ages.

Viagra Boys 🔥 Made it to the venue in good time, not long to go until doors opening. So ready to finally see the first show of the year tonight. Genuinely haven't been this excited for a show in a while. It'll be such a great one.

Rest in peace to the great guitarist. Saw Black Midi in Tokyo when they were first up and coming and they blew my socks off.

First run of 2026 🏃🏻‍♀️

🎄🎄🎄

Looking forward to watching the Hakone Ekiden on TV. Every year on 2-3 Jan., even people who normally don't care about running watch the Hakone Ekiden race on TV. The level of attention may be comparable to the Super Bowl or the Champions League final.

A delightful start to a sunny Tokyo morning with a plate. Perfect for fueling the day ahead.

😍😋🍴

Customer at a cafe here got up and went somewhere, about 10 minutes ago… leaving her equipment, bag, laptop pc and drink behind. Knowing it will be safe. Japan is amazing!

HIGUCHI Yuko × 2025 Takashimaya Christmas 🎄

God Save the Florrie The T-shirt reminds me of Janice Long. She loved @theflorrie.bsky.social, music and musicians so much. Thanks to @swatkiss.bsky.social @ellibin.bsky.social for this cool present. And congratulations. Happy wedding anniversary, you two xx

Oshiruko 🥢

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Kaki-furai are back on the menu. Love the fried oysters in Japan 🦪🦪

Enjoy the rest of your time in Japan 🇯🇵 and hope to see you two again soon xx @swatkiss.bsky.social @ellibin.bsky.social

Look what got hand-delivered by @swatkiss.bsky.social @ellibin.bsky.social. What a lovely surprise! Found out that my name is also credited on the CD. Thank you so much Paul and Mrs LK @lippykidmusic.bsky.social Cue Dot Records. Received your message to say hello to me ;) xx

M&S Welsh cakes from Sal & Jeff for the first time. So delicious. I just can't stop eating them.

Tweetup with @swatkiss.bsky.social @ellibin.bsky.social. Finally got to meet two of my fave 6 Music Family today. What a wonderful little MAH @maryannehobbs.bsky.social community we have.
