Fantastic night at the Adelphi in Hull last night courtesy of @joe-solo.bsky.social and @jesssilk.bsky.social If you fancy some light in the dark and great tunes (who doesn't?) you might still catch them...

@joe-solo.bsky.social brilliant gig tonight with you and @jesssilk.bsky.social . Thankfully, I do not think I am a knobhead.

@joe-solo.bsky.social Please give a shout out for the counter protest in Hull on Saturday 27th. 4 far-right groups are amassing in our city centre, the same people who organised the Farage Riots last year. Join local Unions and anti-racists to let them know they’re not welcome.

If you don't already follow @joe-solo.bsky.social on FB then this is well worth a read. If, after watching >100k people flock to Lennon's banner yesterday, you were left wondering how do we fix this, then trying to figure out how we got here is a good place to start www.facebook.com/share/p/17LW...

We bought three albums on Bandcamp today too 🖤 @joe-solo.bsky.social @georgegadd.bsky.social @protestfamily.com

Definitely songs for our times. Great new EP from Joe.

****INCOMING NEW MUSIC**** 'SONGS FOR OUR TIMES' is available to stream/download here: joesolomusic.bandcamp.com It's about the horrorshow we are passing through. Hope you like. I'd love it if you could give this post a share & help reach as many folks as possible. Click. Play. Crank it up.

On Tour with @calumbairdsongs.bsky.social for a couple of weeks in May. Here's where to catch us ✊️

@joe-solo.bsky.social loved your set at The Kings Arms last night. Look forward to seeing you again at The People’s Republic in May.

Durham Friday to play The People's Bookshop. Always fun. Be good to have your company x

Tonight!! I'm helping the Hatfield Brigade commemorate the 40th Anniversary of The Strike at the Broadway in Dunscroft. Yesterday we raised £270 for Pontefract Community Kitchen singing songs at the Red Shed in Wakefield. Next weekend is Durham and Salford ✊️

My next stop is the Red Shed in Wakefield this Friday, with an early start and finish due to local public transport. Be good to see you x

Two dates in, and I'm having a blast. Just being around folks reminds you that headlines are headlines and socials are socials, but people are far better off just talking and laughing and singing and grumbling and talking and laughing some more. See you down the front x

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to help launch 'Cast No Shadow'. Amazing to see so many people. Extra special tip of the hat to @nicktriplow.bsky.social and @joe-solo.bsky.social for making it such a fun night. I'll be in Waterstones Hull today, 12pm to 2pm (bring snacks and caffeine)...

Fantastic weekend playing for the Kent Miners Reunion and an afternoon in London visiting Kirsty MacColl's bench in Soho Square. Next stop Hull on Friday opening for my old flat mate @nickquantrill.bsky.social at his book launch.

The action later in the week moves to Park Street Theate, Hull, for the launch of our @nickquantrill.bsky.social's 'Cast No Shadow'. Nick will be in-conversation with @nicktriplow.bsky.social and @joe-solo.bsky.social will provide the tunes, Friday from 7.30pm 📚

Saturday mischief....
