The next Hull Noir film and we've gone for a proper classic 🎬

Enjoying another of my periodic obsessions with Cornershop's back catalogue as I work... what a band... www.youtube.com/watch?v=liNn...

'Saipan' looks popular... #Leeds

Oh yes! 👇

The AFCON final is off the scale.

Ace! 📚

This is excellent news! Proper top-notch, under the radar, TV... 👇

Sir George Martin was born 100 years ago today. He and the Beatles lucked into their glorious partnership and humankind is the lasting recipient. I was privileged to work with George and hoped to mark the centenary by touring a theatre show about his life & work – but I must stay focused on writing.

Let them mock etc... if you know, you know... #Hull

NEWS! I'm sure we've got a lot of fans of 'The Traitors' on here? Our March guest, Harriet Tyce, is a contestant in the new series which starts tonight on BBC1, 8pm 😍 Harriet even gave us a clue with her author photo! All the details on the programme in the comments (no spoilers, so we're all safe)

@marklewisohn.bsky.social in his forthcoming Evolver '62 doc. It looks fabulous! #Beatles vimeo.com/1023543808?f...

A quick post-Xmas dash to London to see 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold'. Fantastic production, even from the cheap seats in the amazing Soho Place.

A 'what day is it?' walk around Hull University...

Squeezing in some late excellent #BookPost... an absolute treat, it's the new one from @brookmyre.bsky.social ... published May 2026! 📚

No rest for the wicked...

Great piece from Angus calling for some joined-up thinking in #Hull ...

East Park looking a bit desolate this afternoon... #Hull

Cast No Shadow by Nick Quantrill 5* compelling and gritty Yorkshire Noir, out now, my review @nickquantrill.bsky.social

Recommended book 👇📚

Thanks so much for all the support this year - we've had a brilliant time welcoming authors to #Hull. We return, 21st January, with the brilliant @tariqashkanani.bsky.social at @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central and online) 📚

And that's 2025 done with a great talk from @nicolaupson.bsky.social! A big thank you to @hulllibraries.bsky.social, The James Reckitt Library Trust, all the authors who've joined us and our brilliant audience. See you in 2026! 📚

We still await confirmation that the man on the left is Dean Windass...

Please don't be terrible...

If you're #HullLoyal, you probably know this story... if you're not, you maybe don't...

January in Hull isn't all bad...

Always an impossible task... two 2025 titles, one rare re-read ... could have picked another dozen or so without breaking sweat...

Coming soon!

Watching Anthology reminds me of how much George's wit and wisdom are sorely missed, especially in these crazy days in which we are living. Gone now 24 years today. #rememberinggeorge #georgeharrison ☮️💜🕉

I always enjoy talking to my fellow crime writers, but semi-pro footballers are my jam 😀⚽️

Wednesday night at North Ferriby FC. All welcome 👇⚽ "Join us for a captivating evening with four of the Villagers finest. Nick will be discussing career highlights, hearing about triumphs, challenges, and unique football experiences in the game and at North Ferriby."

Sad news, but a wonderful body of work to celebrate.

Hull Noir is going festive! Join us for a mince pie? 🎄

Last book event of 2025 for me done, but one more to come from Hull Noir!

Big night for the youth... first proper gig and it's the singular talent that is CMAT at the 02 Academy, Leeds...

Notes done - roll on Wednesday 🫡 It's free to join Hull Noir at @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central and online).

Recommend the Kenny Dalglish documentary streaming via Prime... some player, but even better person... ⚽️

#Bookpost - huge thanks to Richard Lusmore for having this sent to me, and for the kind words 😀 Rich launches the book, 12th November at The Stags Head Inn, Lelley ⚽️

From 'ageing Britpopper' to 'boy band aficionado' in the blink of an eye... back out with @curiosityhull.bsky.social to discover what happened when Take That played Hull...

@beatlesbookspod.bsky.social Only just published, but has this one crossed your desk? Potentially interesting... www.amazon.co.uk/Capitol-Gain...

Out to The New Adelphi Club, Hull, and it's @joe-solo.bsky.social in his natural habitat...

Looking forward to this next Friday evening! Do join us #Hull.

This is an excellent development to perk up a rainy afternoon...

#bookpost - I initially joined the crowdfunder for this one a couple of years back. Great to see it come to fruition, and a story that should be told loudly and beyond the city of Hull...

It's only Idlewild playing all the greatest hits off their new LP in Leeds last night...

Wonderful #bookpost... it's the new one from @harriettyce.bsky.social. Hitting the shops Feb '26... sounds excellent!

Wonderful to chat all things 'Layer Cake' with JJ Connolly 👇

No photos from the stage, but an absolute treat to go deep into the 'Layer Cake' world with JJ Connolly last night at @hulllibraries.bsky.social. The film still crackles and pops on screen 😎
