Went to see Tom A Smith at @thefirestation.bsky.social Parade Ground last Friday. Great gig and 2 great supports. Tom's newer tunes shows he's really coming of age now. Dave Stewart joined him on guitar for 1 song(awesome) 😍 @thefirestation.bsky.social really is a great asset to Sunderland 😃

#Burial released a new EP on @hyperdub.bsky.social last week and it's magnificent. Comafields/Imaginary Festival. New #Burial tunes always make life better 😍

Great Saturday at @theglasshouseicm.bsky.social for more of the Proms. Fergus McCreadie on the concourse was as good as ever then the Bach and Mendelssohn Prom in Sage One was top notch. We've been truly spoilt this past weekend but JADE and the RNS conducted by Robert Ames was for me so special 😍

Well, JADE at @theglasshouseicm.bsky.social with The RNS was outstanding last night. Beautiful on so many levels 😍

Absolutely outstanding night at the @thefirestation.bsky.social last night. Joe Webb was really great and Theo Croker was totally out of this world. JADE tonight at @theglasshouseicm.bsky.social with the RNS. Bring it on 💃🕺😃

Off to @thefirestation.bsky.social for the start of the proms weekend. Soweto Kinch tonight 😃

Big Proms weekend coming up. Soweto Kinch at the @thefirestation.bsky.social on Thursday then the big one on Friday with JADE 💃🕺 at @theglasshouseicm.bsky.social followed on Saturday by a program of Bach and Mendelssohn, again at the @theglasshouseicm.bsky.social. It's gonna be a great weekend 😃

Yet again, The Samling Academy and The Dunedin Consort smashed it at @thefirestation.bsky.social last night. Kudos to all involved in putting these two wonderful performances of Dido & Aeneas together 😍

Went to @thefirestation.bsky.social last night to see Dido and Aeneas. Absolutely wonderful performance by The Samling Academy and The Dunedin Consort. Back to see it again on Saturday. Can't wait 😃

Went to the @safc.com match yesterday. Should have been an easy win for us against Swansea but it's got to be said, we were dreadful and were lucky to get away with only losing 0-1 😳

Was back at The Glasshouse Friday to see The Halle Orchestra with Boris Giltburg playing Rachmaninoff's 3rd piano concerto and Shostakovich's 5th Symphony. Mind blowingly awesome 😍

Off to Sunderland #FireStation tonight to see RNS playing Schubert, Mozart and Beethoven. Tbh, I really struggle to watch an orchestra without a conductor and standing up!!! What's all that about? I'll give it one last try though.

Went to #Glasshouseinternational to see Kamasi Washington last Saturday. Brilliant musicians but much of the night didn't really work for me. Maybe just me then 🤔

At Newcastle Theatre Royal for Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake. Blown away by the first half. Unreal 😍

Really good game against Millwall yesterday at the #SOL. @safc.com should have easily won 3-0 but I'll settle for three points anyway ⚽

Great win for @safc.com today at the Sol. Ha'way the lads 😃

Push day done at the gym. Time to get ready for the match @safc.com. Ha'way the lads ⚽

Back at The Glasshouse last night to see Max Cooper. Incredible!!! 😍

More @iglooghost.bsky.social in the post today 😍

Back at @theglasshouseicm.bsky.social for Michael Tippett's-A Child of Our Time. This is going to be awesome 🎼 😍

The post was good to me yesterday @iglooghost.bsky.social Tidal Memory Exo. Coke bottle green vinyl. Brown sludge vinyl and CD to follow 😃

#firstplayoftheday This classic on ye olde vinyl. Still sounding great 😃

Piano recital at The Winter Gardens Sunderland today then hit the town to watch SAFC away to Millwall ⚽

Day seven of following all Sunderland fans back on Bluesky. This is fast becoming my platform of choice, so will be continuing to post content/thoughts on here, including matchdays. Drop this post a share so we can all find each other. #SAFC

Went to listen to some Indian classical music on Friday at The Glasshouse-Gateshead. Beautiful beyond words 😍

Went to see Deep Forest at The Glasshouse-Gateshead last night. Good start to my birthday weekend 🎶 🎼
