Happy weekend from sunny Yorkshire 😎

The legendary Paul Buchanan turned 70 this week so it seems like a good idea to give this a spin 💙

Now playing Teddy ❤️ ‘The Whole Town's Laughing at Me’ is such a great track

What a load of rubbish - do what you want, whatever age you are 🙌

Someone do me a favour, open a record shop and do RSD in South Cumbria and save me a 3 hour round trip! 😬

I have just been booking a hotel, had a wish list of about 10 and was browsing the photos, in one of them I spotted a Roxy Music picture on a background wall. Stopped all browsing and instantly booked there 😁🙌

Now playing 🙌

Here’s four 12 inches I picked up this week #WeekendSingles

The Cure and The Skids #WeekendSingles

YES BRUCE ✊🏼

Good morning from Belle and Sebastian hour 💙

Number 10… www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

Tonight we’ve had a nice local gig watching Steve Craddock play some Ocean Colour Scene classics. Amazing coincidence that it’s 30 years today since Moseley Shoals was released! 🙌

Some singles I picked up at the car boot, the eagle eyed 🦅 will see that there are some here I already have but I couldn’t leave them behind…. #WeekendSingles

👀 #WeekendSingles

‘From the beginning of time, there have been two flames burning in the human heart. The flame of anger against injustice, and the flame of hope you can build a better world.’ Tony Benn was born on this day in 1925.

I think one of the things about bluesky is that for a lot of its users, it represents a kind of retirement from social media. Like I’m tired and I want to get out of the game

Continuing the theme of love and loss. I watched James this weekend and Tim dedicated Moving On to anyone facing loss, such a beautiful song ❤️🌼 #WeekendSingles Time always unwinding All these deadlines in my mind Dreams and seeds we planted Took for granted, didn't prove

Why we love James #NBL 🌼❤️ ‘Unlike most arena bands of their vintage they don’t just stuff the 2 hour, 21 song set with greatest hits. There are long moody sections, songs from lesser-loved albums…everything is anthemic & exudes warmth & humanity’ www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

Andy Diagram was so good last night, his duet with Saul on Violin was sensational. Brass lifts a gig so much! 🎺🎺🎺 @wearejames.bsky.social

Tim on a walk around in the crowd 🌼❤️

Amazing James gig in Leeds last night; the set list, the music, the crowd, the energy and the pure magnetism. Life affirming stuff as always #NBL ❤️🌼

Just one this week as I shared a favourite New Order single with @sussexsedition.bsky.social #WeekendSingles 💙💜🩶

Dreamy Puglian food 🇮🇹😍

Wine for Bowie fan ⚡️

‘The criminal clown has stolen the throne. He steals what he can never own. May the truth ring out from every small town bar. We'll light up the house of a thousand guitars’ We love you Bruce ❤️✊🏼

It’s that time again ❤️🌼❤️

I’m utterly fascinated by the graphic design, fonts and colour scheme of this festival….

It’s Spring! So we went colourful for March’s #BenchBooze 🌸🌼 #LimoncelloSpritz

Fab weekend in Manchester, it’s been 20 years since we all lived there and worked together. It’s such a culturally important & vibrant city. Exciting place to be.

Love these custard cream benches in Manchester

Picked up my sixth (😆) copy of Sit Down today, but look how nice this one is! I was at that gig at the Gmex, with the funky flower lights and the snow 🌼🥶 #WeekendSingles

Love Clampdown Records, it’s such a slice of authentic Manchester. Paul has such a brilliant knowledge of music, picked up two lovely records today #WeekendSingles

@theseahousevenue.bsky.social great to see you over here guys!

Celebrating a quarter of a century friendship with this beautiful pair 💕🍾

And on that fine and fateful day I will take thee in my hand I will ride on the train I will be the fisherman With light in my head You in my arms

Bruce ❤️

How lovely is this tune from The Trashcans and Tracyanne, that sweet sound and gorgeous vocals, a perfect collab! open.spotify.com/track/6S1GuG...

Just heard a good fact on Mastermind that Bruce Springsteen wrote ‘Hungry Heart’ for The Ramones in 1979 after meeting Joey Ramone at a show in Asbury Park, but his manager persuaded him to keep the song for himself

#WeekendSingles 😆

One for #WeekendSingles here:

The Bunnymen pulled out all the stops for their hometown gig. Mac was on good form, Will’s guitar playing was sensational. There’s been mixed reviews on this tour but it was one of their best that I’ve seen in recent years. Highlights: Zimbo, Nothing Lasts Forever & Ocean Rain 💙

Waiting for the Bunnymen and they’re playing Bryan Ferry, the dream!

Bunnymen 💙🐰💙

A little Bunnymen box set #WeekendSingles

Bunnymen forever ❤️🐰❤️ #WeekendSingles

Someone posted this lovely video of Terry on what would have been his 67th birthday. Love this tune, is that Les 🐰 playing with him?? youtu.be/9pfHxJcztqM?...

Dave Haslam, the doyen of the Manchester Music scene has a new book coming out. Spotted Kevin Rowland, Andy Weatherall, Barney, Jarvis and of course Terry 🖤 on the list of interviewees - sounds like its going to be great! davehaslam.substack.com/p/new-book-a...
