Great double bill. @peterbruntnell.bsky.social with his band and @dannythechamp.bsky.social with Paul Lush. At the @soundloungecio.bsky.social.

Well, that was excellent! @dreamsyndicate.bsky.social playing Medicine Show and more. At the Garage.

Lovely show from @kaiakater.bsky.social. At St Pancras Old Church.

Good to see Jeffrey Martin again. At Bush Hall.

Good evening of bands. First time seeing Red Ivory this year. Did not disappoint. Also enjoyed Quick Romance and Mayzel. At Paper Dress Vintage.

First show of the year: @peterbruntnell.bsky.social #afternoongig At Boogaloo.

Each year I compile a list of my favourite albums of the year. The full list and a Spotify playlist of them all linked here: linktr.ee/imanadultnow #myfavoritealbumsof2025 #albumsoftheyear #albumsoftheyear2025

Good way to spend an afternoon in the company of @miniseriesmusic.bsky.social and @dannythechamp.bsky.social #afternoongigs At the @soundloungecio.bsky.social#afternoongigs

Joyful! The Wonder Stuff made me happy. At Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

Brilliant show from Drink The Sea. At the Jazz Cafe.

Weirdly disjointed, but at times excellent show from the Magic Numbers. I am over the no support band bullshit, especially when there was PLENTY of time for one. At Kentish Town Forum.

Four bands tonight. Red Ivory, excellent as ever. Also enjoyed the others: Hiding, Gift Horse and Rockpool Dramas. At the George Tavern.

Good songs and a good show from @thelastdinnerparty.bsky.social At Brixton Academy.

They are the Quireboys, and they played rock’n’roll. At @bedfordesquires.bsky.social

Really great show from Sunflower Bean At the Dome.

Great gig from Wolf Alice. At the O2.

Good to see Sunflower Bean on the big stage. At the O2.

Nice to see and hear @emilybarkerhalo.bsky.social again. At the Golden Hinde.

Second gig of the night: Red Ivory’s ep release show. I’ve liked the music since I first saw them, but this was the best I’ve seen them play. Excellent. At @windmillbrixton.bsky.social

Simply great: @dannythechamp.bsky.social and the Champions of World. At Omeara.

Enjoyed the Brown Horse show. At Bath House.

Powerful show from The Saints 73-78. At Electric Ballroom.

Special! I enjoyed this @radiohead.bsky.social show more than Friday’s. The last seven song run of the main set was sublime, with Bodysnatchers in particular being epic. At the O2.

Fun evening with @mekons.bsky.social, well Jon Langford and Susie Honeyman, playing post punk classics, country ballads and a sea shanty for the occasion. Ably supported by Newport local history nerds, Men of Gwent. At the Golden Hinde.

Masterful. @radiohead.bsky.social At the O2.

Fantastic show. @bobmouldmusic.bsky.social looks so happy playing angry songs. At The Dome.

Truly excellent show from Tyler Childers. At the O2.

Thrilling! Primal! Rock’n’roll! His Lordship! At 229.

I’m always happy to see Joana Seratt sing her sad songs. At the @greennote.bsky.social

Are they rock’n’roll? Are they country? Are they a little bit of both? Who cares when the Red Clay Strays put on a show as good as this. At the Roundhouse.

Great show from @thehangingstars.bsky.social At Bush Hall

Good show with songs and stories from @dbtph.bsky.social At @unionchapeluk.bsky.social

Nice show from Courtney Marie Andrews. One set of songs from the upcoming album and a future album, and one set of classics. At St Pancras Old Church.

Night 2 of Gillian Welch with David Rawlings backed by Paul Kowert. A different vibe to last night, they were more relaxed and the audience a little rowdier, but the show was just as awesome. At London Palladium.

Night 1 of Gillian Welch with David Rawlings backed by Paul Kowert. Some artists are working on a higher level than the rest. Simply awesome show. At London Palladium.

Always enjoyable. @williedowling.bsky.social with Andy Lewis and Darren Lee. At West Hampstead Arts Centre.

Brief pre-prandial walk in Copenhagen.

Very much enjoyed this evening’s show from @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social supported by @robynhitchcock.bsky.social At @troubadourldn.bsky.social

38 years. #soberversary #onedayatatime Thanks, as ever, to those that have supported me. It isn’t easy.

Went to see Red Ivory at the Sebright Arms. Like their songs.

An evening of dark songs from Chloe Foy. At St Pancras Old Church.

Good double-header with 49 Winchester and Wyatt Flores. At the Roundhouse.

Last full day in Flagstaff. Some sightseeing before the rain. Then watched NAU beat Sacramento State in the volleyball.

Chill day in drizzly Flagstaff at the @musnaz.bsky.social and downtown

Day three at the Grand Canyon. Less steep walking and more sightseeing.

This trip to the Grand Canyon is not what I had intended. I had meticulously planned a rim-to-rim hike.

Day three at the Grand Canyon. Up at dark o’clock to start my big hike: down the South Kaibab trail, across the Tonto trail and up the Bright Angel trail.

Day one at the Grand Canyon. 2.5 miles down the Hermit trail and then back to the rim trail.

Moon over Flagstaff at sunset.

Views of Flagstaff and at the Lowell Observatory including the Pluto and Clark domes.
