A great post by @petepaphides.bsky.social And a song by @thejunebrides.bsky.social Fantastic stuff 👌👌👌👌👌 www.patreon.com/posts/as-i-l...

Here's the last one of these. Many thanks to @Belle and Sebastian, again, for asking us out to play. youtu.be/V1Dp_x0N24c

...and "On the Rocks" from Dublin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y253...

"This Town" live in Dublin. youtu.be/t0v7rl2T0fs

Lovely rocking photos of my lovely rocking husband ♥️ as @thejunebrides.bsky.social supporting the epic #belleandsebastian in Dublin last weekend. #thejunebrides

A flavour of the weekend. youtu.be/BiFcoVSnr5w?...

The June Brides had a fantastic time playing with Belle and Sebastian last night. Many thanks to them for inviting us. Round 2 at the 3Olympia, Dublin, tonight.

Yes, boy, there is merch to be had! Please buy some and help pay for massive Dublin accommodation fees :-)

Finally got to meet one of my musical heroes in Dublin today. Step forward the very talented @paulsimpson.bsky.social

One my favourite tracks on the June Brides tribute is the amazing Jeffrey Lewis cover of Phil Wilson's "Waiting For A Change" soundcloud.com/yesboyicecre... (it's so good that for about a decade after it was released, it was Jeffrey Lewis's most played track on last.fm)

I mocked up a poster for information purposes only. This weekend!

I can confirm that this is rather lovely! And damned limited, so don't dawdle if you want a physical copy.

#EcksteinsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 27: a song about rain June Brides - "In The Rain" youtu.be/5ukbxQiWFG8?... A C86 delight.

Soon come...

5/6ths of The June Brides getting together - rehearsing today ready for Dublin with Belle and Sebastian.

The last time I posted this, it didn't seem to work properly. So here it is again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrHX...

(Half of) The June Brides live in rehearsal. "Heard You Whisper" is rockin'. youtu.be/DrHXjl0qIt8

Mini June Brides rehearsal, getting ready for Dublin with Belle and Sebastian.

A mere 40 years ago we managed to play in Ireland with The Smiths. We sounded pretty rocking! Looking forward to finally getting back and playing with Belle and Sebastian in Dublin in April. youtu.be/QMc6O82i_0A?...

Yes, it’s true - the June Brides have been granted special permission by the Cozy-Nook Home for Distressed Gentlefolk to go on a two-day City Break to Dublin in April. Hope to see some of you there!

Some unalloyed good news! New music from @postalblueband.bsky.social! First new stuff since April 2024 and boy has Adriano been missed! Delighted to see this; five lovely cover versions (House of Love, Go-Betweens, Railway Children, Wild Swans, June Brides) postalblue.bandcamp.com/album/anxiet...

Want to hear one of Phil Wilson's song recreated in boy band style by AI? Look no further! This and many more oddities on this user's Soundcloud. Many thanks to @wallytbm.bsky.social for pointing this out to me! soundcloud.com/meganemash/p...

Showing off, but for a non famous couple we've sure had a lot of Guardian articles! @thejunebrides.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/music/2006/j... www.theguardian.com/society/2019... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Better version of my short video of the Greater horseshoe bats in Buckfastleigh. This video was filmed within a minute and a half. there are a *LOT* of bats. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAnf...

If you like bats, then this short video I filmed a couple of days ago will be for you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VEr...

Yes, download this for less than the price you could’ve refused to pay for a 12” single in 1987! Sound/visuals are stunning, by the way, so don’t let the thought of “live recordings” put you off – this is not Alive In The Living Room. Even though Phil from @thejunebrides.bsky.social was on that too.

Tremendous stuff! @thejunebrides.bsky.social

jostling, mid-eighties maul of the Pindar of Wakefield,* beer spilling over my bag of pristine, unsold fanzines as Phil's former band @thejunebrides.bsky.social explode on stage in all their chaotically magical, trumpety splendour… [3/3] * now the Water Rats… sensitivealbum.com/sensitive-fi...

A few years ago Phil Wilson @thejunebrides.bsky.social & I took author @danzep.bsky.social to see the Greater Horseshoe Bat emergence in #Buckfastleigh for his book Overnight. It's a moving & fascinating book - catch the review here then get a copy! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Available to buy today! Includes 2 June Brides plus some actual, genuine pop stars! Please consider buying it as the filming needs to be paid for :-) sensitivealbum.com/the-film/?fb...

This is coming soon, and includes me (Phil Wilson) warbling and jumping about like a loon. You have been warned :-)

I’ve been failing all day to find the right words to describe last night’s Sensitive launch; when actually all I need to do is say thank you to @petepaphides.bsky.social and everyone who played and sang for a truly magical evening, and post this photo of @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social and Clare Grogan.

Clare Grogan? Talulah Gosh? The Soup Dragons? The Loft? The Sea Urchins? The June Brides? Debsey and Rachel from Dolly Mixture? The Waltones? Beth Arzy doing Shop Assistants? Can we call it the indiepop Last Waltz? I'd say so. www.patreon.com/posts/what-f...

Selfie time with one of the other singers from last night.

What a lovely evening that was. Launch night for @petepaphides.bsky.social "Sensitive" compilation. So many great people there.

Several top vocalists will be performing at this concert. And I will be,too! Really looking forward to it.

I'm with some marvellous people in a fabby 'zine!
