A rare picture of all 3 of them together #caturday

If you ever get the chance to see these guys play, especially in an independent venue, you must go!

Angelo Rizzuto was born on this day in 1906. His collection at the Library of Congress contains 60,000 black-and-white photographs of New York City, chiefly Manhattan, taken between 1949 and 1967, an amazing visual archive of that period of time in the city.

Listening to Feel It - The Tamperer / Maya, and thinking I really should check out what the proper lyrics are... "What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her?"... I've been hearing it RIGHT for all these years, and was convinced I must be wrong! #TOTP

I have 5 of these and rate them very highly too... definitely got to be a few more worth dipping into over Xmas!

Yes! Guy Garvey From The Vaults - Christmas Special, on now, Sky Arts... might be time to crack open the port.

Very sad to see the real possibility of my WI group breaking up over NFWI's change of policy to an uninclusive anti-trans stance. If NFWI persists in its decision I will not renew my membership. I've signed the Not In Our Name open letter to express my position as a trans ally notinourname.org.uk

Very satisfying giving feedback to a venue that has recently become poor value... what was good - the artist, sound... what was bad - ticket prices, fees, bar prices, bar quality, poor timing/ lack of public transport after the gig

Just recalled last night's quiz hell... Now I quite like a music round, it has to be said. BUT... the quiz setter had seen fit to take a selection of heavier tracks (challenging for me at the best of times) and get f***ing AI to change them into Isaac Hayes style soul tracks. Painful. #musicsky

It's all been a bit people-y today... two buffets, two quizzes! There's only one thing for it. My go-to brain soothing record... something about the rhythms, and the melancholy. Boxer - The National

Love how the replies on this are all tech researchers hating on the AI summaries.

Incredibly talented jazz/soul singer Sarah Jane Morris is performing live at The Greystones to celebrate the release of her upcoming album Sisterhood 2! Presented by Board Walk Live. 🎟️ https://wegottickets.com/af/586/f/14086

As the shine started to come off generative AI, 2025 has been a year of reckoning. @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social offers four ways to think about the state of AI as this year comes to a close, framing it as “the start of a much-needed hype correction.” www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/15/1...

Live music tally for this year... 33 gigs 5 day festivals 2 weekend festivals Plus some bits of classical This has probably been one of my most active years ever!

Sparklingly good pop! And one of the greatest covers of any song.

Richard Hawley and his very fine band, with added strings... gorgeous gig at Sheffield City Hall, earlier tonight! Nostalgic, full of heart, some great stories, and 22 cracking songs!! Apparently being filmed for a live album too. @richardhawley.bsky.social #SheffieldGigs

Fabulous review! They're still on my gig bucket list. One of these nights or days 🤞

Very pleased to see Sheffield Teaching Hospitals moving away from Twitter/X at last.

Tonight's gig... Finally get to see @richardhawley.bsky.social play the Cole's Corner 20th Anniversary show, on home turf in Sheffield. It's going to be very special! Here's a pic from last Christmas at Barrowhill Roundhouse, where the lighting was ace, if a little Grinch-y at times!

More the point, they take her down a peg or two by suggesting she wants to be seen as a fictional secretary.

Thanks for all the love for this !! It’s very gratifying ! Listen to it ay @bbcsounds.bsky.social …it’s our Ghost Story For Christmas this Sunday ….

More about Makaton... It's a communication method based upon signs and symbols, used by diverse groups of people who find it difficult to express themselves, including those with learning disabilities & in early years development. It's recognised by the NHS under the Accessible Information Standard

One of the great generational records. I didn't discover it in '79, I was too young and didn't have older brothers. But it was still essential listening when I got to my later teens in the mid-80s, and still is today.

Like many, I've been horrified by the NFWI's decision to exclude trans women from next April. I've also been heartened by the strength of feeling amongst fellow members. Many of us are determined to find a way to continue with inclusivity, likely outside the WI www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Alright, it’s day 6 of Cribsmas week, and today’s offering is a lovingly curated playlist of festive favourites. Some are well known, some obscure - but these are the Jarman brothers’ Cribsmas classics. Enjoy x open.spotify.com/playlist/5rB...

Lovely clip of a very youthful Roddy Frame singing Down The Dip #FromTheVaults #1984Musuc It's this one I think... youtu.be/5E2gzDddtxI?...

A-level year on Guy Garvey tonight (1984), followed by Pet Shop Boys - Dreamworld, one of my favourite gigs from this year's summer outdoors season

Confession: I quite like proper Christmas pop songs, and one year when I was really skint, I made a CD for family and friends with some of my favourites. So here begins a thread... 1) Wombling Merry Christmas - The Wombles A big glam earworm stomp of a record #XmasSongs youtu.be/AcQ-2CX4w1Y?...

The Women’s Institute made this decision without any consultation with their over 150,000 members. This is an appalling decision and a potentially illegal disregarding of the WI’s democratic process. Melissa Green should reverse the ban or resign. At the very least find out what the members want

Sublime

Peak disco

I have a love-hate relationship with this one... a school friend absolutely loved it and it became a ubiquitous part of 6th form parties where I was too cool to appreciate it. And then of course years later it went on to provide the riff for the mighty Disco 2000 🪩

Sheffield Folk Guides for the next 2 weeks. If you enjoyed the Sheffield carols in @sheffieldtheatres.bsky.social's A Christmas Carol you can join in the singing at Soundpost's event at the Winter Gardens this Sunday, or see localcarols.org.uk for a full list. All are welcome- just turn up.

Something a bit more trad tonight... a big rounding community singalong with the 'Sheffield Carols', accompanied by the Stannington Brass Band, out back at The Broadfield, with a pint of craft ale and a barbecue for those who hadn't had their tea before they came out.

Surprisingly never heard this one before. It's rather lovely! youtu.be/TP8ipOSIrcY?...
