Treat yourself with the Christmas money your Nan gave you!

I've only just discovered this artist. Beautiful.

For everyone we've ever loved www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdDP...

Some Substack musings open.substack.com/pub/julianne...

Currently No.1 in the Bandcamp Christmas chart! bandcamp.com/discover/chr...

It's here... reganbricheno.bandcamp.com/album/winter...

Bandcamp, tomorrow. "Winter 2025".

It must be the time of year...

A free gift. julianneregan.bandcamp.com/track/sister... Warning: It's not a song, it's a story.

You need to watch this... www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA1l...

Now, *this* should be the music to next year's John Lewis ad! youtu.be/TrCkxm53Y3I?...

Not whistling while I work, but listening to just the most BRILLIANT music, including The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Modern English, Dead Can Dance, Talk Talk, Simple Minds (2nd album), and although some of these bands are still around, God, the late 70s and early 80s were so, so *brilliant* musically.

In case you don't know, November 2026 sees the 40th anniversary of the release of The Mission's album, Gods Own Medicine, and they're celebrating... www.academymusicgroup.com/events/the-m...

A mini Substack is up, if you're at a loose end. open.substack.com/pub/julianne...

An old tradition ... Fine Folk or Follow Friday #FF: @treadwells-books.bsky.social @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social @sebbyb.bsky.social @philh.bsky.social @odavies9.bsky.social @regretteruane.bsky.social @julianneregan.bsky.social @mjpcuervo.bsky.social @lazaruscorporation.co.uk @edkarshner.bsky.social

And... it's live! reganbricheno.bandcamp.com/album/dont-c... Tim and I certainly entered into the 'spirit' of Hallowe'en this year. We hope you enjoy it.🧡

One of the best experiences ever. Being carried up to bed as a kid, sleepy but not yet fully asleep, by a beloved and trusted adult, in my case my Dad. Night night.

Bandcamp Friday has come around again. Nothing new this time, but if there's anything missing from your collection, now's the day to buy. More money goes into the artist's pocket than on any other day. julianneregan.bandcamp.com reganbricheno.bandcamp.com

Lovers of Bic Hayes and Jo Spratley should by this. I have just done so. mummy.bandcamp.com/album/the-le...

Last minute addition to Bandcamp. Written & recorded July 2009. It's been on YouTube since then & although it's not 'Baby Shark Dance' level, I was pleased to see it had amassed more then 21,000 views. A relaxing, contemplative piece. I hope you enjoy. julianneregan.bandcamp.com/track/distan...

Oh it was a good day.

julianneregan.substack.com/p/i-refuse-t... An explanation...

My Mum and Dad - very sadly, no longer with us - backstage when All About Eve supported The Cure in Dublin, July 1989. #TheCure

From @julianneregan.bsky.social: Highly recommended memoir from Budgie - I don't usually well up at the end of a book. I'm not usually able to taste maraschino cherries by just reading / thinking about them either.

Happy Anniversary! The release day of Martha's Harbour, 18th July 1988. After the messed up mimed version, we were invited back on Top Of the Pops the following week. Sang live, and the following week, we were number 10 in the UK Charts. youtu.be/VDkwYWZTQWk?...

I just backed Dickon Edwards: Diary at the Centre of the Earth. Vol. 1 on @kickstarter.com Perhaps you would like to also? www.kickstarter.com/projects/435...

I can't remember ever being this young and this exuberant. Still, it was 36 years ago - 1989 -

So this was #Glastonbury back in the days before it was televised.

If only those who rule the world would look at this, take it in, absorb it, think on it, be amazed by it, be HUMBLED by it, well this pale blue dot would be a far, far better place. youtu.be/wupToqz1e2g?...

Father's Day.

Gardening.

Never more true than right now.

For those who don't mind me not writing about music - although I do a little in this - this may kill a couple of minutes for you open.substack.com/.../juli.../...?

Long lost genius, the band "Ooberman". Interesting interview from around 1:38:20 plus a play of the haunting Shorely Wall - www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

If you still don't have it, today is a good day to buy as more pennies go into Tim's pocket and my pocket, as it's Bandcamp Friday! reganbricheno.bandcamp.com/album/appari...

There are two friends involved in this post: my friend since the age of 15 - who took the photo - and J.A. (Jay Aston), my friend from the age of 19 - who found this in his box mountain and sent it to me. Thanks to both 💕 My guess is that this was taken around 43 years ago.

open.substack.com/pub/julianne... - Thoughts on spring being (almost) in the air.

Perhaps if - each morning - we all watched this three and a half minute beautiful meditation on our own insane insignificance, everything would feel so much better. youtu.be/GO5FwsblpT8?...
