My health stopped me seeing them in Copenhagen but I made sure I could see The Raven Age at Maid of Stone

The last year has been extremely difficult for lots of reasons. There have been times when I’ve not wanted to be here, times when I’ve felt useless cos I can’t do simple shit, and times when I’ve felt painfully alone despite having people around me. But I got through it and it’s taught me a lot.

From the ERB email to my FYP on the clock app, I’ve got a stunning selection of eclectic delights for your ears tonight at 7pm

Normal person: “I stumbled while jogging and hurt my ankle” Me: “I turned over in bed and hurt my ankle” Now can’t sleep, because pain.

I’m currently working on my next show for @emergingrockbands.bsky.social ERB Radio. If you’ve just released, or are about to release music that rocks, my ears would love to hear it. Send your submissions for airplay to [email protected]

Let’s do this #Arsenal. By us, I mean you. I can barely walk, let alone play football.

The nerves are kicking in #Arsenal

If you missed my show on ERB Radio last night, do not fear…you can listen any time you choose on Mixcloud. There’s some rock, some punk, a little bit of metal and, of course some pop-punk. www.mixcloud.com/erbradio/lus...

He’s currently not happy

FA Cup semi-final with my Villa supporting partner. He is doing nervous eating of the snacks.

When the pain is so bad you give in and take ibuprofen with your normal meds. Waiting for my innards to try and kill me.

One thing that I don’t see mentioned much is how fibro affects eyesight. I’m wearing my work glasses but the words are still blurred.

Give John Drake a vote - his debut single is stunning 😍

That was some game. I’ve witnessed some crackers in my time, but I think that’s up there with some of the best. #Arsenal

How times have changed. Football with soluble co-codamol - not a beer in sight. #Arsenal

This is why I (Mosh) am walking / running 62 miles this month. Every £12.20 could make the difference to someone who makes that one phone call. www.justgiving.com/fundraising/... #SuicideAwareness #charity #fundraising #fundraiser #62MilesInMarch Campaign Against Living Miserably

I do wish having a shower wasn’t akin to running a marathon. Not that I’ve ever run a marathon, but I imagine it’s similar.

I seriously need to rethink my life choices.

You can join me on Mixcloud for an hour of fantastic music (even if I do say so myself). See you there! www.mixcloud.com/erbradio

I wish my knee would give me a warning before it doesn’t want to knee any more. If it hadn’t been for my crutches, I would have face planted the floor in a car showroom.

Well…I was always on the fence about Zelenskyy. He now has my total respect. Utterly despicable behaviour by the bullies in the White House.

Currently trawling the internet for copies of single artwork because bands are apparently allergic to including them on the meta data.

Blood test, standing/laying blood pressure check and ecg done.

Five years of nagging for me to come out from behind the scenes has paid off. Starting next Monday on ERB Radio, I’ll be hosting Lush and Loud. If you’re in an emerging rock band who make music that is lush, loud or anything in between, hit me up at [email protected] #NewRock

I’d like you to join me in a minute’s silence for Cassandra. She had been a trusty #sourdough starter for many months. However, upon going to feed her tonight, I found her empty, cleaned out home on the draining board. The culprit has not been identified.

I'm not going to argue with Doctor Who. Live music is mega. The Music Fans' Voice Survey is closing soon. 15 minutes to shape the future of UK live music. musicfansvoice.uk

Looks like my heart was a little bit tired this morning.

In an effort to be kinder to myself, I’ve reflected on how much I’ve managed to accomplish today rather than focus on what I wasn’t able to do. #ChronicPain

Today’s #sourdough. Not bad considering the stretch and folds were ad hoc and I completely forgot about her whilst she was bulk fermenting.

“Do more exercise” the doctor said so I cycled a kilometre on the exercise bike earlier. I now can’t walk because someone is driving a red hot poker through my hip.
