I love Musical Youth ❤️ #forgotten80s

The good old days on Twitter 😂 #forgotten80s

It took me ages to work out what he was spelling back then 😂 Also learnt the word premise from this song. #forgotten80s

How Men Are is stunning ❤️ #forgotten80s

Fish is on his third wife. #forgotten80s

Evening all! Back from singing at my third concert in three days (different repertoire for all!) and ready for some top tunes on #forgotten80s And what a start!

16 year old saw the Band Aid II video the other day. Had a very interesting response to Sonia, on seeing her he said: “Who’s she? Is she dead?” 😂 #SoundsOfThe80s

I don’t actually know the back of my hand that well. Do you?

UP THE VILLA #avfc

Performance two of the season coming up shortly. Need to turn up and sing ten Christmas numbers with six other singers in two, three or four part harmonies having not managed to get to any of the rehearsals. Wish me luck!! 🎄🎄

Just ordered myself a Lego poinsettia. #ChristmasGoals

Concert one of seven tonight. Highlights include playing The Nutcracker with my bell choir and singing Stop The Cavalry accompanied by a brass band. Potential low points - remembering the sign language for Jingle Bells and We Wish You A Merry Christmas 😂🎄 🔔

Advent calendar wine today is called Chateau De Gourdon 921 Le Coq. Advent calendar chocolate - a couple of balls. Couldn’t have planned it any better 😂 Cheers all!

36, 30 and 3 in 10. It’s been a while! #popmaster

Just back from choir rehearsal - our first with the brass band we’re singing with in the concert and we’re finally getting to sing Stop The Cavalry. And the wine and chocolate advent calendars have been cracked open again! Cheers!

Really sad to hear the news about Robin Smith. One of my favourite players growing up and I still remember being at Edgbaston when he scored 167 not out. Such a great player to watch. #RIP

Not one, but two advent calendars! Fine wine one is a Tempranillo. Lovely! Cheers and happy December!

Just played Last Christmas 🎄 #FuckWhamageddon

Fabulous show as always, @matthewjrudd.bsky.social and thank you for The Cult who take SOTN. Have a great week all, see you in December! #forgotten80s

I can never quite decide what I think about Julia Fordham’s voice… #forgotten80s

All I can hear is “bad chest” 😂😂 #forgotten80s

Too tired to salsa, apologies 😂 #forgotten80s

Was he much happier then because Jane was in a turtleneck, or was he happier for another reason? #forgotten80s

I like Toy Soldiers, but also find it quite sinister… #forgotten80s

Boys Don’t Cry is fab. And boys do cry, as do big girls. Crying is good for the soul. Let it all out! #forgotten80s

Thank you for The Cult, @matthewjrudd.bsky.social! #forgotten80s

Cracking second song too. Absolutely outstanding start to the show! Just as well as I’m tired and emotional after too many shots at Transmission last night! #forgotten80s

Evening all! And what a belter to start! I call SOTN immediately. My mum’s faves ❤️ #forgotten80s

Have had the triple delight this year of having to open my legs, post my 💩 and have my breasts squeezed and clamped and am pleased to report that my cervical cancer, bowel cancer and breast cancer screenings have all come back as normal. God bless the NHS!

Always reminded of Julian Assange with this song now 😂 #forgotten80s

Wonder if they did a song called Huckleberry Finn too? #forgotten80s

Erasure are ace! #forgotten80s
