Friends Again and Lloyd Cole at the Old Fruit Market. What a night. 💥💥💥

Hope St, Glasgow…. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Practice run for tomorrow night’s gig at the Old Fruit Market, Glasgow.

The Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais. Released 16th June 1978. The 70’s were my growing up years, aged 10 to 19, with the best music ever. This is my all time favourite song. 💥💥💥 Thanks for all the likes. 🖤 Day 30. #70sTop30 youtu.be/96UtZPLiT90?...

Harsh pen, but his arm was in a different postcode. 🍀

The Clash - London Calling Released 7th Dec 1979, despite the post punk onslaught of brilliant bands, the big guns were still smashing it out of the park. Day 29. #70sTop30 Tomorrow is the last post and it will be my favourite song from the 70’s. 💥 youtu.be/EfK-WX2pa8c?...

Well kids, that’s us both retired now. A weekend of gigs in Glasgow awaits, in a few days, and three holidays booked so far.

Save!! ⚽️

My dad asked for a gun, several times. 🙁😢💔

Joy Division - Transmission Released Nov 1979. Unknown Pleasures was already bought. It was all oxfam suits, army coats, and a Kafka book in the side pocket. They really were something else, life changing. Day 28. #70sTop30 youtu.be/6dBt3mJtgJc?...

Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown youtu.be/wbCrYBWh62Y?... King Tubby January 28, 1941 – February 6, 1989

The Fall - Rowche Rumble 1979 John Peel said “This is The Fall” By ‘eck he weren’t wrong. Day 27. #70sTop30 youtu.be/4qOeuzeNfQ8?...

The Tuesday Morning Phase continues. #SkyMusic #MusicSky

Having a Grace moment.

RIP Sly Dunbar May 10, 1952 – January 26, 2026

Echo and the Bunnymen - Pictures On My Wall. May 1979, Liverpool makes a move in the Post Punk Premiership. The boys done well. Will Manchester hit back? Day 26. #70sTop30 youtu.be/hLKIfHZPdjM?...

#WeekendSingles I thought I’d let the queue die down a bit. 😄

Teardrop Explodes - Sleeping Gas Early 1979, thanks to the NME and John Peel, my musical journey continued. My local record shop was forever ordering in records for me. Day 25. #70sTop30 youtu.be/hQTR3HAyIbI?...

Koke adds life where there isn’t any so freeze, man, freeze. 🎶

The Cure - Killing An Arab Just as 1978 finished this became a firm favourite. Just as Punk had given me a political view, the new groups were now educating me with writers, in this case, Albert Camus. Day 24. #70sTop30 youtu.be/RFIwEQkH7sg?...

Subway Sect - Ambition Late 1978, although I’d seen them earlier that year supporting Buzzcocks, a huge influence on several bands. Day 23. #70sTop30 youtu.be/-yz5jvR9_Jo?...

It’s my ball, and ma tea’s ready. What a fucking dick he is!!

Been to our fortnightly coffee get together. Me mates to each other: What do you think of Jenrick joining Reform, I think he’s a good choice and a possible leader if Nigel doesn’t fancy it. Everyone nods: Me: well he’s another cunt, so he’ll fit in well. Silence…….. 😄
