#GenreRoulette #MusicChallenge #BritpopWednesday Great Things: Echobelly

Black Grape. Evening of pure joy at Electric Brixton with @whoviankim.bsky.social Danced the whole way through. The bass player absolutely insane. Mesmerising.

Dodgy supporting Black Grape last night at Electric Brixton. Superb. Too good to support. So glad to hear touring again soon.

#EmojiSounds #MusicChallenge Day 8: 🎬 Frankie Valli - Grease youtu.be/L1RVb9VNxYw

Excellent production of To Kill A Mockingbird at the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne. Richard Coyle a compelling Atticus Finch. Just half an hour too long.

@comedystoreuk.bsky.social this evening. Some great comedy, particularly from Jimmy McGhie. Sally-Anne Hayward excellent comp. Photo courtesy of Cem.

Despicable open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... Great read from Dan Rather: "...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..." #BlueCrew #MisogynistInChief

#ArtistFaveLP #musicchallenge We Are Love - The Charlatans Recommended by @whoviankim.bsky.social, this album is a definite grower. Have had it on repeat listening for a few days now. Tim and band still sound great. 10: Glad You Grabbed Me m.youtube.com/watch?v=-GbT...

Gorgeous day in Lincoln. Not a cloud to be seen. Just a stunning cathedral.

Huge congratulations to cast & creatives of Stephen Unwin’s production of Emma @oxfordplayhouse.bsky.social So proud of India Shaw-Smith in the titular role whose comic timing is superb. A funny, pacey adaptation, which is over far too soon. Tour continues to Chichester and Poole in November.

Nice little article on Irish poet Seamus Heaney. It’s because a new complete book of his poetry has come out. I really recommend it - it includes previously unseen works: ereader.irishnews.com/2025/10/21/t...

#music #tameimpala Tame Impala’s new album Deadbeat is a cracker. Great to see lots of love for it already. Here’s the excellent opening track, My Old Ways… “I'm sliding, powerless as I descend Back into my old ways again” m.youtube.com/watch?v=pyUO...

#NOKINGS New York City, NY

Choices, choices! This will be my pick for October. Might have to do Drawn To The Deep End next month. In appreciation of one of the best gigs of the year…😍

#90sTop30 Near Misses (Random Order) Wild Horses | Prefab Sprout | 1990 Wild Horses has always been my favourite track on Jordan: The Comeback. Lush production and gorgeous melodies a plenty. Paddy is a true national treasure. youtu.be/JetrXTkZGUw

#80sTop30 13. The Sound Of The Crowd - The Human League "Get around town, where the people look good, where the music is loud" It doesn't get more '80s: Phil's haircut, warm synth sounds, Joanne & Susan, Malibu & coke, glamour on a budget, hitting the town, "something for the weekend, sir?"

Super duper gig at CHALK in Brighton. Echobelly excellent. Sonia on fab form as were rest of the band. Thanks @whoviankim.bsky.social for another great evening. No gigs in November😢 #music #echobelly

#80sTop30 my (not so) guilty pleasures in no particular order 13. Eye Know - De La Soul (1989) youtu.be/q9jCsOCfUUg?...

@divinecomedyhq.bsky.social . We have a new contender for gig of the year. Tonight's @barbicancentre.bsky.social one of the best I've ever seen. Great songwriting, Neil in fine voice and superb musicianship from the band. Thanks @beatriceklopp.bsky.social for joining me for a very special night.

Neil Hannon and The Divine Comedy are a class act😍 Just fantastic music again - I have been spoilt these past couple of weeks. Thanks to @whoviankim.bsky.social and onto the next… Saved my two faves for the end - Invisible Thread and To ight We Fly. New album is ace @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social

Eagerly awaiting The Divine Comedy…tonight we fly!

Working on a full length Letters To Cleo album for the first time in almost 20 years and I'm glad it took this long. I love and appreciate this part of the job so much more now ♡ come see us w/ the cavedogs 11.19 Bowery Ballroom NYC 11.21-22Paradise Rock Club Boston tix --> www.letterstocleo.net
