Music for a November Afternoon tomorrow with @wyso-leeds.bsky.social . Hoping to be sufficiently snot free to play and have a lemon drizzle ready for what is sure to be a fabulous WYSO interval cake table. Come see us! #ChapelAllerton

Not exactly screaming “party of the normal working people” this Reform column, is it…

Sufficient people on my timeline being sad about not getting Hayley Williams tickets that I’m going to have to have a listen and see what all the fuss is about

One of the good ones gone 😢

Frankie Freeman, Noah, Hazel and Yaz Dale at The Packhorse. Worth braving the Otley Run and being the old buggers at the back for the first sighting of a hot dog in a mosh pit.

Thank God for Canadians. Canada nICE Agents.

🎶And you may find yourself protesting beside David Byrne And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"🎶

I know this is uncomfortable to admit, but there is a small area in England's second city where people are just not integrated with the rest of society. Many of them hold views that arguably go against British values. Yes, we need to talk about the Tory conference in Manchester.

Slayer really diversifying

Very few tickets remain. Get yours now. ffm.live/thehowlingjan

Busted vs McFly at Leeds Arena. Loads of fun but hope James Bourne gets well soon

There is always someone who does their best to talk over the loudest band ! I have started wearing Loop earplugs for gigs, they do seem to reduce background noise too as an added bonus

Rialto at Stylus. Some stupid woman barged in front of us then talked nearly all the way through. Hoping someone spills a pint over her during Sleeper. They were still fabulous though

Spendy day! All set for @thehowlinguk.bsky.social in Manchester in January and eagerly awaiting Joined Up Talking and A Storm In A C Cup from @mylifestoryuk.bsky.social

I feel first 2026 gig ticket purchase coming up…

A good music day - new St Etienne album is a treat and new music from The Howling open.spotify.com/album/7tWQlE...

This is great news for Huddersfield. huddersfieldhub.co.uk/introducing-...

there’s a tweet for every occasion

Is there anything in the world more uplifting than the lost cat who was found??? Made me smile immensely today

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it? I reckon this could be a good choice!

If you already know Scott Sorry I’m hoping you’re as keen as I am to get your hands on some cool stuff while supporting him in his ongoing battle with stage 4 brain tumour. And if you don’t already know Scott Sorry today is the day to change that! scottsorry.com

And if Brudenell doesn’t mean anything to you, this blog gives a lovely insight

Eureka Machines at the Brudenell is always going to be a winner. Left before Ugly Kid Joe for Reasons but still worth every penny

Leeds Pride - just about made it to the end of the parade before the heavens opened!

Save the date! I'll be hosting a poetry night at Chapel Allerton Arts Festival, with two guest poets and an open mic. Tuesday 26 August at Brew + Bao on Stainbeck Lane. More details to follow nearer the time, but get it in your diaries now!

Busted at the Piece Hall which is just a gorgeous gorgeous venue. Very hoarse now. Also in awe of the sign language ladies

Favourite seaside rain or shine but god it’s nice to get a properly sunny day in Scarborough

Hottest day of the year and I’m off to Scarbados. Over excited…

The Libertines with Mr Tumble is making my morning

Hottest prom in a while! Pontefract in fine voice tonight

Weather tomorrow looks gorgeous. Still a few tickets left to come picnic in the sun with WYSO and see the lovely fireworks

Electric Sunrise and friends at the Primrose last night. Particularly taken with Yaz Dale and The Eeps. Catch the genuinely lovely Electric Sunrise at the Irish Centre this afternoon Leeds - they are on around 2

Pixies at Leeds O2. Much less cramped and hot than Flaming Lips. No chat and many many many songs. Ace

FLEX FLEX FLEX FLEX FLEX #totp

Watching a very young Jarvis on #totp and worrying that “the aged” prob meant us now

Flaming Lips. Lots of fun stuff but really not wild about the O2 (which in my head I always still pronounce T&C) Leeds. Which is worrying as off to Pixies there in 2 weeks!

SOME people 📯 may have accused OTHER people 🎻🎻🎻 of “enjoying the tune too much” <coughs>

Ps mini scotch eggs and cake strictly on a bring your own basis for this one. But FIREWORKS!!!

Musicians in a big tent! Clothes peg related jeopardy as the cello parts make a bid for freedom! Singing, dancing, mini scotch eggs! AMAZING fireworks! Run don’t walk people…

Tonight’s music at Mergener Hof, Trier. Deaf Deaf Deaf and Druckeberger. Didn’t understand a word of Druckeberger but they were ace. And had fabulous sparkly merch and I now have new stickers for viola case

Tomorrow nights plan sorted…

Bit of a different gig to my usual in a different venue - Sheppard at Luxor in Cologne. Ace fun, lovely crowd

Boxfires, Tropical Contact and Eureka Machines at Night and Day in Manchester. Lovely venue, ace night, hoarse now…

Rum and raisin is king of ice creams. No debate required.
