Out and about celebrating 60 years of Highway 61 Revisited this morning with the walking tour A Complete Unknown: Bob Dylan in 60s London #bobdylan #highway61revisited

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead/Who never to himself hath said/This is my own, my native land 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #trumpinscotland

#OTD 1965… #BobDylan played electric guitar 🎸 at the Newport Folk Festival. I’m looking forward to marking the day with music fans on 2 sold out #walkingtours. Next outing for the tour is 30th Aug - 60th anniversary of Highway 61 londonmusictours.org/bobdylanlond...

From last night’s Rock’n’Roll Pub Walk… Walking The Dog with Live Walking Dog! #walkingthedog #rufusthomas #rollingstones

Pleased to be quoted in the London Evening Standard on the new plaque for #RodStewart at Twickenham Station. If you’re heading down Twickenham way to see it, make sure to call in at Eel Pie Island Museum & Eel Pie Records www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

So The Daughter made me another extraordinary Fathers’ Day card in the shape of a Kinks 45 ❤️ This is No.3 in the series - pic 3 shows her Sun Records & Decca versions from previous years #fathersday #thekinks #pye #decca #45rpm #vinyl #sunrecords #art #dadstuff #dadsanddaughters #craft #homemade

#NowPlaying I seem to remember this LP met with a few sniffy reviews in 2022. I thought it was a sweet record and I warmed to it immediately. And right now it’s exactly how I want to hear the songs of Brian Wilson. Simple, stripped-down & devotional cover versions. #sheandhim #brianwilson

Yer Da needs a slip mat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And so in a giddy, wrist-flapping tizz I bought tix for The Waterboys at Roundhouse… only to realise that I’ve got a long-standing job that night. Delighted to pass tix on to 17 year old daughter - same age as me when I first bought This Is The Sea. Is that the circle of life of which they speak?

Leaving Finchley, where early 18th Century thief Jack Sheppard once took refuge following one of his famous jail breaks, heading for St Giles where his criminal legend was born… I’m leading The Beggar’s Opera #walkingtour Theatre history, music history & true crime, an unco blend for the Sabbath day

@ianindentdesign.bsky.social Meant to post this ages ago… we’ve got your painting up above my piana 🎹 Thanks!

What did we get up to this morning? We brought down the govt., protested a war, decriminalised homosexuality, watched The Avengers, tuned in to Radio Caroline, visited Groovy Bob & met Twiggy. Just another morning on the London In The Swinging 60s #walkingtour Thanks to all who joined me! 🍸☮️🪖🎸💊📸👚🏙️

Sound & vision check for tonight’s Monday Night #MusicHistory Club on Zoom. Papa’s got a brand new headset! Hoping the wires don’t curtail my trademark dance moves 🕺 Tonight we’re plunging into the depths of 18th Century London to take a look at The Beggar’s Opera and the origins of #musicaltheatre

This afternoon I will mostly be abusing a highlighter pen. Very exciting #theproms #livemusic #lovemusic

@timsmith2024.bsky.social Hello Tim 👋 I called in at the brilliant Union Records in Lewes today, picked up the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Muireann Bradley LP. Great shop! Must drop in to yours one o these days

An unusual location… I’m ostensibly on a “day off” & night away in East Sussex, but couldn’t resist a snap of Lewes Prison where Mick Jagger was held on remand, with art dealer Robert Fraser on 28 June 1967 following the Redlands bust of February that year. There’s ALWAYS a music history location

A little bit of light reading ahead of Sunday’s A Complete Unknown - Bob Dylan In 60s London #walkingtour The June 1965 issue of Rave features Donovan on the cover with an interview inside sharing Don’s thoughts… 1/2

My auld Da would have been 92 today. As usual I’ll be marking the occasion by playing his favourite LP Johnny Cash Live At San Q #absentfriends #music #lp #johnnycash

Morning all. Kicking off the week under a blue sky either a theatre history walk in the West End. Give me a wave if you see me and have a great week! #mondayvibes #tourguidelife

One of the great privileges of being a #tourguide is getting to play a part in making the special occasions of life that bit more memorable. Congrats to James on his forthcoming marriage & thanks for joining me with his brilliant, music-mad mates on a Rock’n’Roll London stag-do tour of Soho!

This very Sunday at The Spice Of Life at n Soho at 6 Moor Street in London the existential ex-pat 🇺🇸called Sid Griffin plays a full set of bluegrass backed by Brighton’s hottest acoustic act, Seagrass. 🪕🎻Onstage 8:45pm and you can check us out via youtu.be/2WTkEx8o3H4?... So c’mon down❗️

A cold beer, apple blossom in the garden, cherry blossom on the way, I led a really enjoyable #walkingtour for a music-mad stag party this afternoon, #Hibs beat Rangers 2-0 & I finally finished phasing-out my #Twitter account by deleting it. A good day. Sending good vibes to all #HandsOff protesters

It’s that funny time of year… sunny and warm enough to lie under a shady tree between walking tours… but the trees don’t got no shady bits yet. #spring #weekend #saturdayvibes #sunny #lovelondon #tourguidelife

#NowPlaying A yella Sun record… the new #Waterboys LP, a concept album/oratorio on the life of Dennis Hopper is ambitious, nuanced & riveting. Full of absolute bangers. Great storytelling. Guest appearances from #FionaApple & #BruceSpringsteen Can’t wait to see them at The Roundhouse in June

Doing something today that I haven’t done since I was 19… buying a Waterboys LP on release day. From Room To Roam on it’s been cassette & CD. Bringing it all back home. It’s been a wild ride and I’ve loved every minute. Thanks @mickpuck.bsky.social 👏 #waterboys

One thing you learn from a career in heritage: sometimes you have to make your own memorials. Today I went with my sister to the site that was HMP Holloway. Where a thousand suffragettes were imprisoned & some tortured. You’d never know from the hoardings #InternationalWomensDay

The thing about our label is that we get carried away and keep adding more bits until our profit margin is only visible with a microscope. Which is why #BandcampFriday is so huge for us. If you were thinking of buying Sensitive now's the time! needlemythology.bandcamp.com/album/sensit...

I gave on consulting the weather forecast years ago. But if the prediction for today was “Not too shabby” then they hit the nail on the head. Have a great Thursday whatever you get up to - give me a wave 👋 if you see me out-and-about #sunshine #tourguidelife #thursdayvibes #getoutside
