#FindASongToExplain #MusicChallenge Diana Ross -Reach Out And Touch (Somebody's Hand) youtu.be/1DeirmRKd7M?...

Day5 #BanuaryMusic George Formby - With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock So many of George Formby's songs are suggestive. Skirting that very fine line but the BBC felt he crossed it with this one. youtu.be/01nqQUx5vZk?...

Day4 #BanuaryMusic Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead (From the soundtrack to the Wizard of Oz) When Margaret Thatcher died there was a campaign to get this to number 1 in the charts. Radio 1 refused to play it in the Top 40 countdown youtu.be/kPIdRJlzERo?...

Day3 #BanuaryMusic Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax Radio 1 DJ didn't seem to like this song, could this be why it was banned by the BBC? youtu.be/Yem_iEHiyJ0?...

Rock n Roll Bingo for the new year. Any hero related songs anyone?

Day2 #BanuaryMusic Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy Another Gulf War victim. This time the band's name was shortened to Massive. Did it hamper the chart potential of the track? Hard to say but it's still an epic track loved to this day. youtu.be/ZWmrfgj0MZI?...

Thread... I wanted to share the journey I have been on. I have been overweight pretty much all my life. Following the death of my mum when I was eight years old this was my way of coping. I was teased throughout my adolescence and once I was an adult I pretty much accepted that I am the fat guy.

Day1 #BanuaryMusic The Cure - Killing An Arab During the Gulf War in the 1990's this track was banned from being played due to its title. youtu.be/RFIwEQkH7sg?...

Hey, I know I'm no oil painting but in a dismal month it's important to have a bit of self care so I went to my favourite barbers and got a haircut and beard trim. They always look after me well there. If you get a chance this month do something to make yourself feel good ❤️

Please know that.

Hey Blue Sky! It's cold out there today so make sure you wrap up warm and stay safe. Spare a thought for those people who have nowhere to stay. Local authorities should be putting rough sleepers somewhere safe as it is cold so if you see someone on the streets report it to your local authority.

Merry new year Blue Sky! Be lovely to each other 💚

Hanging out in Camden #HattiesDayOut

Anyone on Blue Sky interested in joining a Music League?

Hello Battersea 👋

“Taking care of yourself doesn’t mean ‘me first’ … it means ‘me too.’” L.R. Knost. A reminder that caring for yourself sits alongside caring for others. You aren’t asking for the world, you’re simply asking for a place in it too. 🧡 #SelfCare #kindness #compassion Picture by joyfulsmolthings

My picks for artists I wished made Christmas albums: Motorhead Stereolab Aphex Twin Bjork GusGus

A Dallas church has swapped the traditional stable for chain-link and barbed wire, forcing a raw look at what a modern-day Nativity really looks like.

Happy Christmas Blue Sky! Hope you have a good day. If you need a break from the busyness or are struggling my DM'S are open for chat about absolutely anything. #TimeToTalk #Listening #HappyChristmas

Have a Star Wars Christmas! #MTFBWY

Secret Santa has been very good to me. New Cure T-shirt and Star Wars goodies ❤️

Had a fun time at the Brickz Museum. Some spectacular displays. Of course in my opinion the best bit was the Star Wars diorama 😃 #MTFBWY

Final gig of 2025 seeing the wonderful Stereolab at the Brixton Electric. I had an awful view which was made up for by dancing with many others nearby. I also got a new t-shirt and the fantastic Stereolab Activity Pack with branded coloured pencils and pencil sharpener.

Getting Eddy Grant vibes. #Brixton
