Nothing but Classic Rock in the ‘good beer’ pub in Cranleigh 😂 ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet’ first actually good track.

Tim Davie resigns as BBC director general for NOT HAVING ENOUGH RIGHT WING BIAS???!!! 😂😂😂

à bientôt, Rouen. That was the last concert of 2025, for me. Thanks to everyone who came out and kept me in business. See you all in 2026!

Rouen. Last show of the tour is tomorrow night at Le 106. A few (literally) tickets remain. Details at my website lloydcole dotcom / LIVE.

It's a long drive from Marseille to Bordeaux, so we stopped in Toulouse. ❤️ Cassoulet. Shout out to Les Copains D'abord. Fabulous!

Marseille!

Nimes walk. Most bases covered.

My Tour De France has made its way to Nimes. Which is wonderful.

Farewell to the peerless Prunella Scales. Wonderful actress and, of course, style icon to a style icon

Morning off in Paris. Laundry and then reward from Diptyque. The Perfume Museum, if you're thinking of visiting, is more of a shop with an exhibit. I wouldn't go out of your way, but it was close by...

There was a certain charm to the smoking Paris taxi driver. The vaping version has none.

My French Tour Journal continues at Substack substack.com/@lloydcole/n...

I'm playing Paris tonight & tomorrow night. I think there are a few tickets left, maybe... It would be nice to be sold out both nights. It's a beautiful theatre. Very exciting. Ticket links, etc, at my website lloydcole dotcom / LIVE

Great audience in REIMS tonight. Really fun to play for them. No, I didn't play here. But did walk by en route to lunch and admired the excellent white on white.

I'm in France for 8 shows. The first, tonight is in Reims at Le Cartonnerie which was the best show of the tour last time. Some tickets remain. Details at my website lloydcole dotcom / LIVE.

Also, maybe Coronation St, Reims? Just the wrong side of the tracks.

Reims! C'est Magnifique.

Reims!

Pelt.

I know nobody loves to hear “I told you so” but I did tell the R&A their decision to make Andrew captain was disgraceful. Not that I imagine they saw the tweet. I wonder what they’re thinking, now?

Another nice blonde. Not too fruity. Medium strength.

Belgian Beer Update. New favourite, tied with Bavic Pils.

Turnhout. Funky and Grand.

Travel/Day off. Turnhout, Belgium.

“The Damned Forest” #AdiosAngeball

More excitement! Sydney SOLD OUT already! Another show added March 20th. Details and ticket links at my website /LIVE

Let the tour begin. Ahoy Waregem! I’m on stage @ De Schakel at 8:00. Don’t miss Rattlesnakes!

2/2 ‘In jokes’ and unspoken shared comedic references are often present but invisible to the outsider. I’m not suggesting that these nazi kids aren’t nazis, but this isn’t the way to expose them.

1/2 While I’m here with nothing better to do, and while I’m usually all for undermining the shameless evil ultra right wing (SEURW), I’m not in favour of exposing joke email and text correspondences between friends as evidence of their bigotry. (cont)

I’ve heard some bad cover version in my 64 years… but Imagine messing up arguably the cleverest lyric of all time “repeats, repeats in my ear” by adding an AND. It really happened. I just heard it. Unforgivable.

All the shows in Belgium have sold very well, but the Antwerp venue is much bigger than the others. So... AHOY! Antwerp! I'm playing on Friday. Please share with your local friends and let's have a full house! Ticket details at my site / LIVE.

Regarding 2026 shows you may see this quote "The performance will run the gamut from his masterful debut with the Commotions ‘Rattlesnakes’ right up to 2023’s acclaimed ‘On Pain’ touching on all points in between" To be clear - I will not be touching on ALL points.

More excitement! Later in March 2026. 6 Solo Electric shows in Australia! Tickets on sale this Friday 17th details at my website / live.

March 2026. Solo Electric in New Zealand! Tickets on sale this Friday 17th details at my website / live. Presale this Wednesday at plus1 website.

Stuck in LHR Terminal 5 with nothing better to do than make more Lists! #4D Favourite Post Punk Guitar Playing open.substack.com/pub/lloydcol...

Not everything capital B British is crap.

Flying to Belgium today. Back in the jug agane. 7 solo acoustic shows. Details at lloydcole dotcom / live.

The 'calming' hold music that the travel agencies and airlines use, when they've cancelled your flight, is hilarious. How could I become even more angry listening to that?

'tis the season for nerdy lists on my Substack page. open.substack.com/pub/lloydcol...

Inadvertent comedy also, I have heard, which is what I'd expect. Tragicomedy, of course.

How weird that this should have disappeared from the Telegraph archive...
