Just finished cataloguing my record collection. I can’t imagine there’s a more satisfying New Year’s Day job. Fire lit. Coffee on tap. Records all scanned and uploaded. Next stage is bringing some order to it all! #Music #Vinyl #MusicSky

So pleased to see Stocki’s number one in this list. My favourite record of the year too.

Albums of the year for me… Thank you 2025. Over and out. #Music #MusicSky

Final playlist update of the year. Pretty much my favorite songs of 2025. Some wonderful stuff in here. So grateful to have heard wonderful music from the first week of the year to its last. Here’s hoping 2026 is just as mighty! #Music #MusicSky music.apple.com/gb/playlist/...

Hothouse Flowers night 2. Epic. #Music #LiveMusic #MusicSky

Hothouse Flowers night one. Back for a second helping tomorrow. Have seen these guys live more than any other band I reckon…and the night never fails to be brilliant. #Music #MusicSky

Great little read. Conclusion - the only thing to know about process is that there is no such universal ‘thing’. Do what works for you. #Reading #BookSky

A little self-indulgent hour to myself. No thanks to my playing but this thing is sounding great!

Nothing says Christmas like submitting your tax return, daytime drinking and an afternoon nap. Merry Christmas everyone!!

I honestly didnt expect to find much more new music at this time of the year…but for the second time in two days a brilliant new album rears its head… #Music #NewMusic #MusicSky music.apple.com/gb/album/bli...

My local record shop and the awesome King Cedar. #MusicSky youtu.be/aLgJdLlQYYY

Ah, I’ve stumbled into this late in the year. It’s wonderful. #MusicSky music.apple.com/gb/album/ent...

It’s time…

Bob. A book. And a coffee. This Saturday is starting rather well. #Music #Vinyl #MusicSky

2025 work year is done. Breathe.

Andy White. The Court House, Bangor. Excellent. Very, very excellent. #Music #LiveMusic #MusicSky

Off to see Andy White this afternoon- it’s been a long time!

A Christmas Album by @brighteyesband.bsky.social. Maybe the best Christmas album. Although that could equally be Low or Bob Dylan. Better listen to them all I guess. #Music #Vinyl #MusicSky

Not sure when exactly but at some point in the last year I became a cap guy… there we have it…

Welcome back old friend. New stylus, new belt, fine-tuned. Glorious. #MusicSky #Vinyl

Family all out tonight. I ate tiramisu and then played the guitar until my fingers gave up. What a treat.

So good!!

I couldnt wait to wake up this morning and listen to this. There isn’t a single second that disappoints. Stone cold instant classic. #Music #NewMusic #MusicSky music.apple.com/gb/album/liv...

A long read but a good one…an important one. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/d...

And in a hasty follow-up to my my previous post I feel compelled to share a true Christmas classic… music.apple.com/gb/album/yip...

The British public is wrong… www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...

Remember, Christmas has done nothing wrong… #Music #Christmas #MusicSky youtu.be/B_zDVkkOQXY

Stranger Things has always tapped into 1980s lore…but I for one didn’t see ‘Back To The Future’ or ‘Home Alone’ coming! I’m absolutely here for it though!

Beautiful day to revisit one of my favourite albums of the year… #Music #Vinyl #MusicSky

Sounding magnificent right now… #Music #Vinyl #MusicSky

Delivery from Pith Supply. The best notebooks ever.

I try to avoid Spotify when I can but I haven’t found this on any other streaming service yet. #NewMusic from @michaelkeeney.bsky.social and it’s beautiful…check it out… #MusicSky open.spotify.com/album/6Pxafn...

Sunday morning. Celeste. So very, very content. #Music #Vinyl #MusicSky

I’ve shared this a few times this year but it’s morphed and changed as the months have rolled on and I adore it. 50 songs I’ve loved in 2025…it may still change before the year is out… #Music #MusicSky music.apple.com/gb/playlist/...

Haven’t seen the water in daylight for weeks. So beautiful down here this morning…

The feedback on the call vs. the notes in the email the next day

The package took a beating but the wine seems ok. Christmas delivery landed. Counting down the days…

Pie and records. Saturday of dreams. #MusicSky #CrateDigging #Vinyl

It’s wreath-making weekend at Gingerman Towers…at least for one of us! Me? I’m curled up with coffee and a now traditional pre-Christmas book of ghost stories, just what the doctor ordered… #Reading #BookSky

On the wildest of nights I went to see Butler, Blake & Grant in Belfast last night and it was just the kind of soul food this week needed. Wonderful gig… #Music #LiveMusic #MusicSky

And so it begins… www.instagram.com/reel/DRAFy1D...

Guy Garvey playing pretty much my favourite song of the year… #Music #MusicSky

Getting some new record storage built so I can get some of this stuff off the floor! Much too late in the day I’ve started cataloging my collection…what a joy to stumble across stuff I’d forgotten about. Damn this is satisfying! Organising Chaos! #Vinyl #Collection #MusicSky

I come back to this album once a year and it never fails to delight me… #Music #Vinyl #MusicSky

Every bit of me wants to know what secrets the Iberian Pig knows…

Tonight’s sunset view from the terrace. The silhouettes of hot air balloons gently rising on the other side of town. Strangely captivating…

Post ride rewards… #Cycling #BikeSky

They have some of the best cycling roads in the world in Mallorca. Obviously we decided to ignore them and hit the gravel… #Cycling #BikeSky

Seriously though. The sunsets here…

I could sit here and look at this all day. I just might.
