(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

Sharing again. Sorry! This and 4 other of my weirder offerings will be released next week on Too Good To Be True records as a CD and download. I like this one lots as it makes my breathing slow down. youtu.be/LLSROT5e4sY?...

Release coming soon for Phil Wilson solo stuff... youtu.be/LLSROT5e4sY

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!

...and the Booker Prize for fiction goes to....Evri! Waiting on Saturday for an important delivery. Then waiting all day on Tuesday. Both deliveries "failed". Because nobody actually tried to deliver anything. First World problems, I know. Still bloody irritating...

For those missing the TVPs. Here's a song by a young man called Daniel. No, not *that* Daniel... zenxith.bandcamp.com/album/daisy-...

One from the "Revolving Brides" repertoire. This has Andrew Innes on guitar and Frank Sweeney on viola. soundcloud.com/phil-wilson-...

The only photo I've ever seen of The Revolving Brides emerged on the web today. A short-lived fun band with Phil Wilson and Andrew Innes. Thanks to Kaori Laird for unearthing this!

Instead of this Sp***fy-crap how about a year-end "Things I actually paid for on Bandcamp" list?

A bunch of the odder stuff I've put on Soundcloud. For those who like easy access to the weird bits. Listen to Experimenting, a playlist by Phil Wilson on #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/95pLN

Phil Wilson doing a majestic acoustic version of my favourite The June Brides' song This Town!! Ofcourse I am whistling the trumpet parts while listening!! Listen to "This Town" - solo, acoustic only, version by Phil Wilson on #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/zKs8s

This is a slowed down version of "Every Conversation", with Laura Turley sharing the vocals. She is a magnificent singer who deserves to be heard, so that's an extra excuse for posting ;-) soundcloud.com/phil-wilson-...

Here's another old demo for you. It sounds much better than I remembered! Definitely don't play it if you dislike jangly guitars ;-) soundcloud.com/phil-wilson-...

Here's a bunch of quiet (mostly) songs recorded at home Mostly old recordings, but recently remixed/tidied up with better software I have got recently. You may or may not enjoy some of them! on.soundcloud.com/6A2rR

June Brides done wrong! But I quite like it....

Doing the Go-Betweens. I was trying for an afro-beat guitar. Sort of... soundcloud.com/phil-wilson-...

An added extra for you: the original solo demo of the June Brides' "She Seems Quite Free". Enjoy. soundcloud.com/phil-wilson-...

Some old stuff that some might enjoy. Or at least be interested in hearing once!
