Fab episode of my fav podcast- Mat from Suede is a fantastic guest and the debate about wether “Glam Racket “was written about his band or about chocolate forced onto Steve by Mark E Smith is brilliant - rogue salads also turn out to be significant! #fallfriday open.spotify.com/episode/2P0I...

Release day. Still exciting after all these years. suede.lnk.to/antidepressa...

Reliably informed that thaws beauties are back in stock. Won’t be for long! bfan.link/the-fall-sin...

Ay up! Here we go!

We won't be away for long, with guests for next series already lined up. In the meantime, keep an eye on our socials for news. Thanks for listening! Linktr.ee/ohbrothershow

For our series finale of Oh! Brother, we answer your pressing questions, with some more open-ended than others, with help from our resident Michael Parkinson, Nathan Hanley. Thanks to everyone who sent in questions, and thanks to all our great guests this series.

Great opportunity for any creatives out there to get involved in a important project bit.ly/ManchMR-X

Get your questions in!

There will be no episode of Oh! Brother tomorrow, but Paul and Steve will be recording a special Q&A episode to mark the end of the current series. Please send your burning questions to [email protected] and the guys will do their best to answer them in an upcoming episode.

Read this book! Then gaze at my xstitch piece! David very kindly helped make sure it was accurate (at the time of sewing…) This piece is also in the footnotes of @hanleypa.bsky.social ‘s brilliant book, Sixteen Again, which you also need to read immediately.

My guest mixer this week is none other than ex-Fall drummer and author Paul Hanley @hanleypa.bsky.social www.stevesmixtapes.com/mixtape-020-...

Once again , can I highly recommend the @ohbrothershow podcast - want to know what scared Joe Strummer, why Radio Rentals was a big part of the Undertones success and how even Fall members don’t know all the Fall songs- listen here ⬇️ open.spotify.com/episode/1Wux...

Always great to talk to Mickey!

Hope you enjoy! Linktr.ee/ohbrothershow

This week’s guest is the one and only Mickey Bradley (@mickeyundertone.bsky.social): bassist, broadcaster, and all-round raconteur from sunny Derry. We dive into the early days of The Undertones, Terry Hooley's Good Vibrations label, and the eternal question of whether bands need "the" in their name

Honoured to be at the launch event at the John Rylands library on Wednesday. Great to speak to Jon & Paul too.

Great book about a great record and band by @hanleypa.bsky.social Thanks @marcreilly.bsky.social !

What a great package! The brand new album from The Fall! Vinyl, CD, T-shirt, signed print, booklet and beer mat! All brilliantly presented and designed! Long live Popstock😎😎😎

Happy release day everyone! Cheers!

Another gem from Oh! Brother Podcast - loved hearing Brix Smith name dropping and all about the chocolate milkshake riot - Highly recommend 😊 @hanleypa.bsky.social and @stephenhanley6.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/7mzP...

So..turns out there’s another Popstock Records release thu @bellaunion.bsky.social resulting in myself @stephenhanley6.bsky.social and Craig doing another bout of signing… with @hanleypa.bsky.social due any minute. SINGLES LIVE 78-81 release date 9th May. 👊💥

Very few tickets left for our event at the Night and Day, Oldham St, MCR to celebrate the release of 'The Fall: Singles Live Vol, One 1978-81' Thursday 8th May at 7pm Me, @Stephenhanley6 @marcrileydj and Craig Scanlon in conversation with Sian Pattendon www.piccadillyrecords.com/counter/feat...

The Fall released Slates on this day in 1981 (27 April 1981). You can replay the listening party (no_491) here:

The Fall LP 'Slates' was released in this week in 1981 (and 'Slates (Live)' this week in 2024) #FallFriday When you know in your brain.

Welcome back to Oh! Brother. We were thrilled to be joined by friend of the show Brix Smith for this week's episode, as we take a look back at the year that was 1988. Tours, ballets, videos and phlegm, we reminisce about perhaps the world's busiest band's busiest ever year. Linktr.ee/ohbrothershow

#FallFriday You don't have to be strange to be strange. Totally Wired is next in The Fall’s unbeatable run of early singles, which are all compiled in this handy playlist ▶️ open.spotify.com/playlist/1PV...

BTW The vinyl version of this comes with a 7 x 7” booklet of original artwork by Gareth Davis which is just brilliant. Worth the price for that alone…

Remembering Pete Shelley on his birthday. Here are Buzzcocks performing "What Do I Get?" at Manchester's Electric Circus in 1977 (THREAD) youtu.be/L7fauHmOccQ

Fab! Also the title of a brilliant book by @hanleypa.bsky.social Saw Buzzcocks many a time, most memorably on the White Riot tour. I also did a hasty remix of a Pete Shelley solo song here:

The next release from Popstock Records is looming large! And it’s a CRACKER! THE FALL - SINGLES LIVE! 1978-1981. Released 9th May! @stephenhanley6.bsky.social @hanleypa.bsky.social Craig Scanlon & app at Night & Day Cafe. A Q&A 8th May! LP & TKTS HERE! www.piccadillyrecords.com/160676/The-F... 💥

Best 50 UK Music Podcasts. Great to see The Strange Brew and Oh! Brother in the top ten, and The CAT Club coming up on the rails www.millionpodcasts.com/uk-music-pod...

Enjoy Record Store Day good people. A place to meet. You never know who's going to be flicking through the racks. #RSD25

ACR drummer Donald Johnson is the guest on the latest Oh! Brother podcast. A fellow son of Wythenshawe with musical siblings, the diversion comes with the luxury of a driver: The Fall had one one, ACR didn't. ACR were in the Factory scene, The Fall were very much not. Record in front of an audience

The moment the 'our driver' bombshell lands in the latest episode of Oh! Brother. Guest Donald Johnson is flabbergasted, giving birth to a running joke. Links to the whole episode here: linktr.ee/Ohbrothershow

Really proud to record this at Wythenshawe Forum with @Dojo007.bsky.social Huge thanks to @MancLibraries.bsky.social too.

I took @marcrileydj.bsky.social ‘s advice and listened this afternoon, Pete Wylie is hilarious! one of the best episodes yet! Strongly recommended @hanleypa.bsky.social @stephenhanley6.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/7x7z...

Thank you all. Clem loved what he was doing. He lived his dream

They said it couldn’t happen! Lads of ‘82 in the Foresters!

Blimey ! - pause for breath- highly recommend this if you love listening to genuinely interesting people name dropping and talking eloquently about a fascinating life- but if you blink you will miss a tale or three that would outshine most other people’s reminiscences -well done O’Brother - loved it

Pete Wylie is the guest on the latest Oh! Brother show, which is more akin to a rodeo than a podcast, with the brothers strapping themselves onto Pete's torrent of stories that illuminate a musical life for 80 minutes before they call time and agree to reconvene. A good crack.

Buckle up, this goes at a million miles an hour. @hanleypa.bsky.social, @stephenhanley6.bsky.social and Pete Wylie. Tremendous listening, as you’d expect. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/o...

Saw the excellent House of All last night. None mightier @hanleypa.bsky.social @funkysi.bsky.social
