Thank you to everyone who has been enjoying my first EP, Liver Salts and Whist. More music to follow…

You’ve seen his face, in the faded flyers hastily pasted in the doors of bleak bookmakers, and in a cryptic corner of the local paper his ad decrees: tomorrow’s scores- guaranteed! The Moon Birds- The Prophet open.spotify.com/track/6eEBsq...

Pure quality this 👊

Stanley says swerve the flags; we don't need this fascist groove thang. He does, however, recommend you buy our This Blue Earth tarot-style cards, as only 16 sets remain theshipbuilders.bandcamp.com/merch/this-b... 🌍

Thanks to @ricjournal.bsky.social for taking a new poem, ‘Aegina, Greece, Easter 2024’ ricjournal.com/2025/08/27/a...

Great time up in Liverpool last night watching The Coral Documentary. A cool insight into the making of the music, but also a coming of age tale about friendship and finding your people. Stand by Me and The Goonies meets Magical Mystery Tour and Pugwall’s Summer. 💀🔑

Still buzzing from Saturday’s Late Summer Night’s Scream show in Liverpool. Thanks everyone who came down and made it so special 🔥❤️

Hey hey hey it’s September! Here’s a song I once wrote called ‘September’ youtu.be/dBMUmRGzWwQ?... #september #elgoodo

Looking forward to this tonight

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! For those who don't collect vinyl. My web-site wonder - Russ Sanders has located a small quantity of the original 2005 edition of the Dream Diaries CD and put them up for sale on my Bandcamp page. x paulsimpsonmusic.bandcamp.com/album/dream-...

Yes it's true! Me and Mr Paul Simpson will be conducting a post punk cosy fireside chat & sonic seance, at the Krankenhaus Festival. master of ceremonies will be John Doran.

Afternoon all; we're postponing our Newcastle gig. We'd planned it so our NE fans could come, but too many clashes with other events spread tickets too thin - so we'll be back in early 2026, when more people can come! Tickets will be refunded and we'll have better news soon

Recording some guitar today with this Egmond Lucky 7. Sounds class but stays in tune for approximately 6 seconds…

We've never played up in the North East before, so there's a strong chance we've bitten off more than we can chew by putting our own night on up there, but nothing ventured.. Anyone game?! skiddle.com/e/41288679

Taking town by stealth! We've dropped off copies of 'This Blue Earth' in the fabulous Dig Vinyl in both CD and LP format, so go get your Bold Street on, bag a copy and join the revolution ✊ Dig it! 🌍

Ah, get in. We popped into the legendary touchstone of Liverpool music, Probe Records, to drop off CDs and LPs of 'This Blue Earth' today. It's such a thrill to have our stuff stocked there - do pop by and grab a copy, if you're Shipbuilders-curious

Can someone write a book on the Lee Perry/Wailers recording sessions please. Nice one.

It's Bandcamp Friday, gang. This means that for 24 hours, admin fees are waived on all purchases, meaning flailing DIY acts like yours truly get all the funds. So, if you've been deliberating getting a copy of This Blue Earth, then today's the day.. theshipbuilders.bandcamp.com/album/this-b...

Friends! My EP Liver Salts and Whist has been out for a week. To celebrate, The Moon Birds Shadow Puppet Theatre proudly present Hunter’s Moon youtu.be/8dz0GxWOaYQ?...

The 42-year old master tapes have been located, baked, and digitised. Singles, b-sides, versions, and a couple lost songs I have no memory of ever singing. Mastering at Abbey Road for Autumn double-vinyl & cd release. x

'This Blue Earth' is two weeks old today - hurrah! @uncutmagazine.bsky.social describes the songs as "visions born from reading Somerset Maugham while imbibing in the acid Love dropped in the Mersey many years ago.." ..don't know what you mean, mate 😉 theshipbuilders.bandcamp.com/album/this-b...

We've reduced all our pre-This Blue Earth merch (7", CDs, t-shirts, posters) and are selling it on our Bandcamp page, with 100% going to @MedicalAidPal - it's not much, but it's something. theshipbuilders.bandcamp.com 🇵🇸

Spotted on my recent bike ride, nailed to a shed a few miles from my house. Nice tribute x

little reminder that my first EP is out now. Four tales of mystery and imagination. Under one musical canvas. (I’ll shut up about it now 😉) open.spotify.com/album/6wVPwN...

@theshipbuilders.bsky.social at Leaf 18/7/25, excellent as always

Oh, our shining stars and body. A huge thank you to everyone involved in any way with last night's Shipwrecked. We're still gathering our braincells, so will do a full debrief tomorrow, but for now, our huge love and thanks. Now, a long lie down in a dark room beckons.. 💙🌍💙

The recent session we did with @brookecombe.bsky.social in Kempston Street Studio had such a great atmosphere. You can hear it seeping through into the energy of the recording.

We had our final practice for this on Monday, and gang, let us tell you, it sounded phenomenal. Tickets have shifted for this, so thank you, but there's a smattering left if you're Shipwrecked-curious.. www.skiddle.com/e/41093115
