playing HAIRDYE 'Eden's Garden' linktr.ee/hairdye.band // TUNE IN NOW: @bbcsounds

It seems the Barbies prefer the Public Enemy record the most….

Well, what else would my 6 year old granddaughter want for her birthday than a record player and discs for her Barbie house…! It must be in the blood!

Germany's top entertainments duo, Woog Riots, are on the new collection of musical tributes to Edward Ball. I Helped Edward Ball Escape, it's called. And the Riots, as we call them in Derry, do a great version of My Andy Warhol Poster. As heard on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi

@wallytbm.bsky.social - another track from your CD!

@wallytbm.bsky.social Mickey just mentioned your tribute CD before playing this!!!

Just refound this article in a storage box from 50 years ago today when Sounds music paper printed their “The A to Z of Punk”… I recall being intrigued but had no idea what was going to happen in the following months….

Very excited that @normanrecords.com will carry our new Times Tribute - find it here: www.normanrecords.com/records/2167...

Get on this quick if you want a copy as they only have 5 copies 👇👇👇👇👇

Another blistering hot day at a festival in Wales! Today at the Caerleon Festival we saw the always brilliant Blind River Scare, The Blessed Crow, The Chartists and noticed an alternative blue plaque saying “nothing happened here”!

Yay! Hairdye!

Scorching hot in Tintern today for the Folk On The Lawn Festival and great to see MG Boulter play live again!

And you really do need a Times / Edward Ball tribute in your life just as @mickeyundertone.bsky.social says ...

You didn't know you needed a tribute to Ed Ball from The Times, did you? But you do, thanks to TBM. The Beautiful Music. Spain's top hitmakers The Yellow Melodies are on it, with a great version of Ed's song 'Manchester'. As heard, now, on the Late Show/MBRS buff.ly/wmg4zwy

Wow! The Waco Brothers had it all tonight in Newport! 2 hours of rocking country in the blistering heat and a Bonny Tyler cover of “It’s a Heartache” to start the encore! See them if you can!

Tonight! Back in Newport for the first time in over 25 years the Waco Brothers return featuring local boy Jon Langford! They were on fire in London last week and will be amazing tonight at Le Pub - see you there!

You won't find many songs more beautiful than this one - Julian is a musical genius ... @armstrong-wales.bsky.social armstrong2.bandcamp.com/track/muddy-...

@bringitonskippy.bsky.social hi Mark. Not sure if you are still collecting Mr Bump stuff bit just seen this money box in a chazza for £4 if you are interested? Cheers. Ray

So happy that Norman Records agreed to carry our new tribute but had no idea it would sell out (even before they got there) - A few more copies sent to them so you may be able to get one from them in about a week www.normanrecords.com/records/2167...

A brilliant review of the @burningferns.bsky.social album Public Mono on the @countrymile.bsky.social label by Rob @durutti74.bsky.social agoldfishcalledregret.wordpress.com/2026/07/05/p...

Rob is a gentleman who has always been a supporter. This still makes us smile

Happy 250th anniversary to Americans who celebrate such things. In 1976, The Observer magazine had a weekly feature on the true history of America to celebrate the bicentenary. It covered subjects such as the Welsh getting there first and how the country exploited slaves. May be time for a reprint?!

Great gig in London last night by the Waco Brothers ably supported by our Men of Gwent who were joined by Jon Langford (aka Cliff!) for a few songs too!

It was 40 years ago today that @nightingalesuk.bsky.social Fuzzbox & Ted Chippington came to play…..

Enjoyed the Bowie Lightroom experience and now hot footing it to The Lexington ready for the mighty Men of Gwent to support Americana legends, the Waco Brothers!

If you are visiting the Cardiff Food & Drink Festival in the Bay on Friday why not visit the bandstand to see @burningferns.bsky.social play sets at noon and 4pm?!

Really enjoyed seeing Gene play Newport tonight! I saw them many times right from the start until they finally spilt. It was also good to meet so many people I hadn’t seen in 30 years! Somehow I didn’t get the memo that the legend that is Mick Talbot now plays keyboard with them! Amazing! 😳🎹
