On another note, the Australian Eurovision entry is the one. Check out Milkshake Man and tell me it’s not the winner. You’re welcome. m.youtube.com/watch?v=_08I...

Ever wondered if your band name and press shots make a difference? Artists playing The Great Escape, believe me I am currently making decisions based on those two things, cannot get through the line-up otherwise 😁

Loving The Assembly - have only watched the episodes with Danny Dyer and David Tennant so far but both made me laugh and cry simultaneously #TheAssembly www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Suitably impressed by locals everyday saints playing at The Prince Albert in Brighton last week, just the right level of goth-infused danceable tunes

Imagine trying not to laugh while Bob Mortimer does a magic show and reads from his joke book, quite possibly the funniest man on the planet #LastOneLaughing

Just another regular news item in The Argus

Just back from seeing this,might have to be brave and try some candid photography again. Also thinking about specific topics - people at work, seaside life,etc. Let’s see how we go. #MartinParr #Film

I need to get better at posting on here. Busy over at Breaking Glass, link to last weekend’s Hidden Herd all-dayer below. On the lookout for photographers who might like a feature post of their work - head to breakingglassmagazine.com to see what we do 👍🏼 #MusicPhotography #PhotographyFeatures

Really enjoyed filling this in, brought some happy thoughts to mind - give it a go if you’re a music fan and so inclined…

And from deep in my childhood this was the start of a love of Scottish artists that still stands today 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🖤

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money

Sometimes I can’t help myself taking photos of venue toilet graffiti #PermanentNonsense

Sad news about Rick Buckler, The Jam were one of the first bands I fell in love with 🖤

Some b/w edits from last night’s Hidden Herd show at The Hope & Ruin with Heavy Wild, Alphabet, Quaking Aspens and Weakday

Hands up if you only realised today that Ye is part of Kanye’s name… just me then, thought so 😂 🤷‍♀️

Been itching to paint this wall orange for a while. Not everyone’s taste I guess but we’re very happy together. 😄 🍊

Celebrate good times, come on

The idea that the Daily Fail employs journalists is a stretch

Usually just stones on the beach in Worthing but sometimes when the tides are right they uncover the sand

Great to see The Hope & Ruin so busy for Hidden Herd’s latest new music showcase featuring Cucamaras, Shady Baby, Wonderbug & M Woodroe. Hoping more artists head over to Bluesky soon! #MusicPhotography #GigPhotography #Brighton #GrassrootsVenues

Happy Burns night 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

OK, so Traitors is over again and I get my evenings back. A bit anti-climactic as I wasn’t really bothered who won in the end, just glad it wasn’t Charlotte and still baffled by why she did a pretend Welsh accent all the way through 😄🐉 #TheTraitors

‘Subdued, reflective and poignant, BRADFORD still packs a punch with its spoken word narrative detailing the urban landscape like a walk through the city after closing time’ New track from Polite Bureaux - review… breakingglassmagazine.com/2025/01/24/n... 🖋 @16beasleyst.bsky.social #PoliteBureaux

I do love a highland cow but maybe this is getting out of hand 🐮 (all gifts btw) Pic 1) small hand felted highland cow Pic 2) doorstop highland cow Pic 3) draught excluder highland cow (why not) Pic 4) latest addition is a highland cow footstool

Every few winters I remember to check the Wikipedia entry for duffel coats to see if Alex Kapranos is still there and yup… all is well in the world, still there

Hello from Worthing and its weird festive decorations

Beautifully written as always, funny and insightful and then I got a bit floored by a comment about A Charlie Brown Christmas… 🖤 #RedHandFiles #Christmas www.theredhandfiles.com/how-will-you...

Excuse me for asking but why is Tom Meigh*n still getting booked, presumably with ticket sales? And no thank you, I don’t want to cover his show, not interested in promoting those kind of hits 🤷‍♀️

Saturday was a lot of fun… #LiveMusic #MusicPhotography

I don’t use Threads but links keep popping up on Insta. There’s a photographer on there asking other photographers to post 2 images so he can mark them as ‘masterpiece’, ‘very good’ or ‘could do better’. And no, I’ve never heard of him. Entitlement much.

Photos from last night’s Hidden Herd show at The Hope & Ruin in Brighton with Lonnie Gunn, Crysometimes & Bekah Bossard #MusicPhotography

Ah I see it’s that time of year again when it’s helpful to note that someone can use Spotify AND buy the artists’ music, go see them live, buy their merch, etc. Streaming platforms in general don’t pay fairly but that doesn’t mean anyone who uses them isn’t contributing to the artists they play…

Honestly thought my #SpotifyWrapped would be more varied this year but I think that’s the third year in a row that VLURE have been my top 5 listened to tracks (I make no complaints about this). Also, think they got my preferred genre nailed this time. 😊
