47 years ago today I was eagerly waiting for the record shop to open to buy this superb album. The first Clash album to feature Nicky ‘Topper’ Headon on drums, he propelled The Clash to new heights 🥁🔥. #TheClash #punk #MusicSky youtu.be/bFHEuKkTa5k?...

A cracking pint of cask conditioned ‘Ghost Ship’ by Adnams Brewery. A classic pale ale and tastes lovely 😋👌 Have a good evening. Cheers! #BskyBeer #beer #Adnams

You know what to do lads! #NUFC

🤞for a win on the road today. #NUFC

It’s beer o’clock 🍺🕓 A Hazy Pale Ale, ‘Hop, Skip and Juice’ by Vocation Brewery to start the early evening. A lovely citrus and juicy tropical fruit taste. Very refreshing 😋 Have a good evening. Cheers! 🍻 #BskyBeer #beer #CraftBeer #VocationBrewery

Who’d have thought four years ago that some lads would be abseiling down the side of the Sandman Hotel with a 200ft high Eddie Howe banner after bringing home the first trophy since 1969? Here’s to the next four. Eddie Howe’s Black and White Army 🏁🏁🏁🏁

4 years since Eddie Howe became Newcastle United manager. What a ride it’s been - the passion, the progress, the pride restored 🖤🤍 From survival scrap to Champions League dreams to our first piece of silverware in 56 yrs Wor Gaffa 🫡 #NUFC

A couple of superb X-Ray Spex singles. ‘The Day The World Turned Day-Glo’ with B side ‘I Am A Poseur’ on orange vinyl and also the brilliant ‘Identity’ with B side ‘Let’s Submerge’ 🎯👌🔥🔥🔥🔥 #weekendsingles #XRaySpex #punk

A cocktail to kick off the weekend. A nice Coffee Negroni for us 😋 Have a good evening and a brilliant weekend! Cheers / Salute! 🍹🍹 #cocktails #CoffeeNegroni

Antmania 45 years ago! ‘Antmusic’; the look, the rimshots, the double drummers, tribal beats, Marco Pirroni’s guitar, Adam & the music 🎯. ‘So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favour. That music’s lost its taste so try another flavour. Antmusic’ #AdamAndTheAnts #MusicSky youtu.be/Rm9drIwmmU4?...

www.rspca.org.uk/getinvolved/... Fed up with this annual shithousery? I am.

As it’s bonfire night it seems rude not to have a wee dram of lovely smoky Islay Whisky for a nightcap. Cheers / Slàinte Mhath 🥃 #whisky #CaolIla #scotch #IslayWhisky

I’ll never tire of seeing these post match winning pictures 👌😍 Howay the lads 🖤🤍 #NUFC

Important to bounce back with a win tonight so I’ll take that result. 6th place too; Nice👌 Howay the lads 🖤💪🤍 #NUFC

I bet there were fireworks! 🎇🧨🎆 Another gig I need to go back to when I get my time machine working.. #TheClash #punk #MusicSky

#UCL matchdays at St. James' Park! 😍

Sorry to hear of Stuart Boam’s passing - a lad more associated with Boro than us but a good servant of #NUFC in his 2 years with us. RIP Stuart and thank you.

Great album, classic Ramones 🎯👌🔥 Love the energy of this live version of ‘Sheena Is A Punk Rocker’ from CBGB’s in 1977, performed a few weeks before Rocket To Russia was released. #ramones #MusicSky youtu.be/2kmUfWPeIRE?...

The usual brilliant writing by Mick Herron in the latest Slough House (Slow Horses) book 🎯👌 Jackson Lamb is surely one of the greatest fictional spy characters ever created. #BookSky #books #MickHerron #SloughHouse

Lancashire was accepted as a county only when a royal exchequer official, in the audit for 1181-2, wrote out a separate parchment under the heading Lancastra quia non erat ei locus in Northumberland: ‘Lancaster, because there is no place for it in Northumberland.’

An iconic album. Paul Weller was 20 years old when he wrote it! Here’s my vinyl copy of it that still gets played today. Great inside cover with the lyrics too 🎯👌🔥 #TheJam #MusicSky

A great album with that iconic front cover featuring Twiggy. Love Bowie’s version of ‘Sorrow’ from the LP. #DavidBowie #MusicSky youtu.be/AkfmPmaTnKg?...

Great to see Lewis Hall available again 🖤😊🤍 #NUFC

It’s beer o’clock 🍺🕔 A classic Belgian Duvel (devil in Flemish) Blond to start the evening. Packs a punch at 8.5% ABV but it’s a gorgeous very smooth beer. Nice mouthfeel with malt, spicy, banana, fruity nose and flavours 😋 Have a good evening. Cheers!🍻 #duvel #beer #BelgianBeer #BskyBeer

Back to my childhood and a love of Slade. Four superb singles from 1971, 1972 and 1973. ‘Coz I Luv You’ ‘Take Me Bak ‘Ome’ ‘Mama Weer All Crazee Now’ ‘Cum On Feel The Noize’ 🔥🔥🔥🔥 A fun time with autocorrect typing those song titles out! #slade #weekendsingles #MusicSky

I knew some people who went to one of those Motörhead gigs at Newcastle Mayfair. They said it was brilliant but it was so loud that they couldn’t hear properly for a couple of days afterwards! #motorhead #MusicSky #NewcastleMayfair

The first album I ever owned after receiving it as a Christmas present in 1972. A great album with two big hits on it but my favourite track is the cover version of Janis Joplin’s ‘Move Over’. Noddy Holder’s vocals and Jim Lea’s bass are 🎯👌🔥🔥 #slade #MusicSky

It’s beer o’clock 🍺🕔 A classic Belgian Leffe Blonde hitting the spot. Lovely big malt and banana nose and flavour 😋 Have a good evening. Cheers!🍻 #BskyBeer #beer #BelgianBeer

A brilliant whisky tasting at #StAlbansWhiskyClub last night with a brand visit from independent bottler Single Cask Nation. A cracking 7 bottle lineup. #whisky #SingleCaskNation

It’s beer o’clock 🍺🕖 A pint of cask conditioned Broadside by Adnams Brewery. A dark ruby red beer with nice fruitcake flavour notes. Lovely 😋 Have a good evening. Cheers!🍻 #BskyBeer #beer #adnams

Midfield maestro, from Milano 🖤😍🇮🇹🤍 #NUFC

Decent lineup. You know what to do lads! 🖤💪🤍 #NUFC

Lest we forget 🖤🤍

Champion! 🖤🏆🤍 #NUFC

“Rock, rock, Clash City Rockers”! 🎯👌✊ #TheClash #punk

The irony of a single called ‘The Modern World’ and ‘The Modern World’ denying it exists! 😬😳 AI, let me present my physical exhibit A 😂 #TheJam

Brilliant single 🎯👌🔥 Fantastic B side with live recordings from the 100 Club in 1977 of ‘Sweet Soul Music’, ‘Back In My Arms Again’ and a taster of ‘Bricks and Mortar’ 🎯👌 #TheJam #MusicSky

Here’s my copy of it bought OTD in 1977. It kicked up a storm upon its release. Some shops refused to stock it and some charts put a blank space against its chart position! There was even an indecency court case brought against a Nottingham record store manager.. 1/2 #SexPistols #punk

It’s beer o’clock 🍺🕔 ‘Northern Rising’ nitro stout collaboration between #NorthernMonk and #TimothyTaylors breweries. Classic stout chocolate, coffee and caramel flavour notes with a nice mouthfeel makes it a lovely beer to drink 😋 Have a good evening. Cheers!🍻 #BskyBeer #CraftBeer #Beer #Stout

Love this! Made me laugh. It takes a special skill to make Wor Sandro look uncool for the first time ever 😀 #NUFC

‘Super Black Market Clash’: A superb compilation 🎯👌🔥 That cover with the iconic picture of Don Letts 🎯👌 It has a brilliant punk reggae version of Willie Williams ‘Armagideon Time’ on it; ‘Justice Tonight / Kick It Over’ 🎯👌🔥 #TheClash #punk #PunkReggae #MusicSky #DonLetts youtu.be/xyh76HeAGVE?...

Jam today with a couple of cracking #weekendsingles ‘The Eton Rifles’ released OTD in 1979 with a B side of ‘See-Saw’ 🎯🎯👌 I’m also playing their previous single release ‘When You’re Young’ and B side guitar version of ‘Smithers-Jones’ 🎯🎯👌 #TheJam #MusicSky

A superb Jam song released OTD in 1979🎯👌 David Cameron once said that Eton Rifles was one of his favourite songs to which Paul Weller gave a scathing response of "Which part of it didn't he get? It wasn't intended as a fucking jolly drinking song for the cadet corps."👏 #TheJam

On this day in 1974, Ken Boothe (for UK pop reggae) was at Number One in the UK singles chart with Everything I Own. youtu.be/JZHTg26q1Js?si…

Time for an uplifting Rum Maple Old Fashioned. That naval strength rum helps to warm the cockles 😋👌 Have a good evening. Cheers! 🥃🥃 #rum #cocktails #OldFashioned
