Heading for a holiday in Yorkshire, making a playlist, please share your ideas, kicking off with the greatest band to hail from the white rose county!

This is quite literally one of the most exciting things to ever happen to me! 🥧

Here’s a Quando Quango poster I ‘designed’ (well, ripped off) for a gig at Portsmouth Poly. I was particularly pleased with the hand-drawn Hacienda inspired logo. Sadly, the gig was cancelled.

A charity shop in Ulverston with all the National albums in at bargain prices! Been back for a second trip and picked this one up for my friend! 👀

Listening to Mike Pickerings book and he’s talking about his band Quando Quango and their records - Fac 67 and Fac 79, just had a listen to them. Never seen them before, any of you got a copy to show? #WeekendSingles

Some lovely Associates things for #WeekendSingles Billy 💜

Now playing, lovely Sunday morning vibes. Thanks @ffrench.bsky.social for the idea of listening to this today.

Gorgeous record, can’t get this tune out of my head: ‘It seems that my whole life was filled in black and white. So I asked my mother and she said ‘This world’s not in colour, not yet, it’s just a monochrome set’ 💙

Just got IDed whilst getting my Albariño haul in Aldi. Thought it was a right laugh until I realised I didn’t have any ID with me 🤣

Mike Pickering’s book today is all about a band called Vice Versa featuring the wonderful Martin Fry, I’ve never come across them before, anyone got any of their records?

I’m listening to Mike Pickering’s book & pausing to replay the music he mentions in each era. Today was Joy Division, driving through the Lake District at dusk with heavy brooding skies playing Atmosphere, has a song ever been better titled? What an immersive and beautiful tune it is.

Heart of Ulverston Awards 🏆❤️

Just seen this on a Facebook post - I want one!! A Philippines exclusive apparently, @trevorpalmer.bsky.social do you have it? Bet Ann does!

Edwyn’s Cadiz gig, a brilliant night. Make me feel again was a highlight, the crowd loved the dramatic pause! Felicity was joyous & In your eyes a beautiful performance with his son I wish I could do it all over again. Thank you Edwyn and to all of the incredibly talented band.

Pretty Jerez 🇪🇸

The Jerez Alcázar 🇪🇸

I only drink sherry now (the good stuff)

Another day another horse fair 🎠😃 (Sing your own Bunnymen theme tune!)

What a gorgeous morning touring the Tio Pepe Bodega

When you arrive in town and there’s a huge party on and you have to improvise to go big or go home…🇪🇸

Tell me you’re getting a train in Andalusia in one photo…

I’m cursed and I don’t even have my Glasgow disco brolly with me!! ☔️

A few sights from Sunny Cadiz 😎

I’m obsessed by the purple trees in Cadiz 💜

Love having an actual gig ticket, I’m keeping this one forever 🧡

Top tip: don’t get up and go to the fish market after a heavy drinking session the night before! 🤢🙈

Edwyn Collins. Literally the nicest man on the planet, I’m so happy to be here in Spain for his farewell farewell 🍊🧡🇪🇸

The sun is shining on our roof and there’s no-one here, perfect chance to play Orange Juice full volume 🧡

A gorgeous sunny start to the day 🌸😎

One for the Yazoo fans

Happy 100th Birthday to David Attenborough, the national treasure of all national treasures. ‘Sir David's gift to the world has been a life spent exquisitely revealing Earth's wonders to us all’ Kirsty Young

A nice sparkly view for a nightcap ✨

A nice little Cloth sleeve for my collection 🎨 #WeekendSingles

At the weekend I posted this poster, today with some serendipity I found the record! #WeekendSingles

I like this little shop, always come away with something!

‘Thanks, or just a voucher is fine’

This is brilliant, I love it, I’m so engrossed in the stories of childhood, industrial Manchester, football and the seeds of what’s to come with the Hacienda

And then of course there’s this one, similar art work - I think this was a freebie with the US version of This Year’s Model @jaynemoobs.bsky.social

One of these maybe @jaynemoobs.bsky.social ?

Happy birthday to the greatest album ever made 💙

Got this in a fortune cookie last night and it made me happy ❤️

How great is this poster, does the single artwork look the same? #WeekendSingles

Nice 12 inch I picked up last week, certainly in my New Order top 5! #WeekendSingles

Now playing 🙌

@slippydj.bsky.social will you see Edwyn on his tour of Spain?

Embracing the ‘later career acts of genius’ theme with this beauty, I love this record so much #AlbumAlmanac #WeekendSingles

Morning! 🎶

Genius! This has all the makings of a comedy drama www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every book you read about the Liverpool music scene is full of Dave Balfe stories, so it’s interesting to read this article about his return to music www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...
