I’m finishing the evening with this 11 year old, cask strength Ledaig port pipe cask finished sweet, smoky beauty of a whisky. I hope all of my Bluesky friends have had a wonderful day. Cheers / Slàinte Mhath 🥃🥃 #whisky #scotch #ledaig

“He’s done a brew sheet. He’s checking it twice. He’s brought me a Stout that’s ’Naughty and Nice’ Santa Claus brought craft beer, to town” Tastes just like it says says on the tin; ‘Caramel Cookie’ 😋 Hope you’re all having a great day. Cheers!🍻 #BskyBeer #VocationBrewery #beer #CraftBeer

Merry Christmas! 🖤🎄🎅🤍

Merry Christmas to you all on #NUFC

Merry Christmas / happy holidays to all of the lovely people, I know on Bluesky and to their families and friends. To the faraway towns..

"Tonight, you will be visited by 3 spirits" Me; “Great! With those 3 spirits I’ll mix a Negroni”.. 👌 #cocktails #Negroni

Christmas beer o’clock and I’m drinking in a ‘Cocoa Wonderland’ 🎄🍺 An award winning Chocolate Porter from Thornbridge Brewery. Coffee, caramel and chocolate tasting. Absolutely delicious 😋 Merry Christmas everyone. Cheers 🍻 #BskyBeer #PorterBeer #beer #CraftBeer #ThornbridgeBrewery

A legend🫡🥃 Gave the best 1 minute bass guitar lesson ever 🎯👌✊ Asked about his style compared to others; “The basic difference is most bass players sound like this. Whereas I sound quite different!” (Cranks up the amp to maximum, plays and faces melt 😂)! #Lemmy youtu.be/FT4nWq3sI7s?...

Joe Strummer; A much missed man of wisdom and compassion. His thought provoking words and music still ring true today ✊ #JoeStrummer #TheClash #punk #MusicSky youtu.be/LQ82BX0hGBM?...

Happy birthday to Billy Bragg. Here’s a cracking live performance of ‘A New England’ from 1983 on ‘The Tube’. 🎯👌🔥 #BillyBragg #MusicSky youtu.be/IOLsnzuIADM?...

A great song originally written and performed as a R&B tune by Isley, Jasper & Isley, a splinter group of The Isley Brothers, The Housemartins a cappella version is brilliant 🎯👌

Beer o’clock🍺🕖 time for a ‘Looper’ hazy IPA from Geordie brewers #FullCircleBrewCo An award winning beer that was highly recommended to me and I can taste why. Lovely tropical fruit, grapefruit and citrus taste. Delicious 😋 Have a great weekend. Cheers 🍻 #BskyBeer #CraftBeer #beer

To mark the anniversary of the death of Terry Hall I’ll be posting some of his work this evening starting at the very beginning I still remember the first time I heard this song The Specials Gangsters TOTP 30/8/79 1979 youtube.com/watch?v=Is6P...

Pit Road, painting by Norman Cornish, 1919-2014 (Northumbria University Gallery, on loan from private collection).

What a talent Terry Hall was. Over forty years ago he wrote the lyrics to ‘The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum’ about the world being run by lunatics and it’s even more relevant today than ever🎯👌 #TerryHall #FunBoyThree #MusicSky youtu.be/on-y9Pv-CJA?...

HOWAY THE LADS! ✊

WE get a late match deciding moment and win! Howay Eddie Howe’s Carabao Cup semi-final bound Mags 🖤✊🤍 #NUFC

It’s going to be interesting to see how we line up with this team🤔 I’m looking forward to seeing Yoane Wissa make his debut. Howay the lads! 🖤💪🤍 #NUFC

Time to step up and give us a much needed boost. Howay the lads 🖤✊🤍 #NUFC

An amazing singer. One of my favourite songs by him was this banging reggae song that he wrote and recorded with the mighty Maytals in Jamaica in 1972. Superb 🎯👌🔥 #TheMaytals #reggae #PaulRodgers youtu.be/MeOi7DkF0oY?...

Newcastle Central Station is 175 years old and it’s still as bonny as ever. A festive look today: I love walking to the end of the station and looking at Newcastle Castle Keep and the Tyne Bridge 😍 #NewcastleCentral #NewcastleUponTyne

17th, December 1977 an article on The Jam by Chas De Whalley. "As far as I'm concerned, if it's one of mine, it's a classic."

Driving Home for Christmas, painting by Philip Meadows, Teesside/Yorkshire artist.

My favourite Bowie album. Ask me my favourite song from it and I’d say ask me again tomorrow as there’s so many to choose from! Here’s the fantastic ‘Life On Mars’. Brilliant lyrics in this song 🎯👌🔥 #DavidBowie #MusicSky youtu.be/ft3b1-Cm-0M?...

70 years young today. Such a cool icon. He inspired me and many others to pick up a bass guitar and join a band. A critically acclaimed artist too; A lot of The Clash imagery was due to Paul. He also brought his love of reggae to influence the band 🎯👌🔥✊ #TheClash #punk youtu.be/D9iaT7LxP7M?...

A nice mood pick up with a cracking pint of cask edition ‘Festive Star’ Christmas Porter from Northern Monk Brewery. Vanilla, chocolate and cinnamon taste and a lovely mouthfeel. A delicious delight in a glass. Yo ho ho 😋 Cheers🍻 #BskyBeer #beer #craftbeer #NorthernMonk #porterbeer

Sounds like not just the result but the way we played, me missing watching the match due to travelling was a blessing in disguise. Time for something to dull the pain 🍺🥃 #NUFC

Your Mags on derby day! ✊

🖤✊🤍 #NUFC

The return of derby day. My favourite memory of away matches vs Sun******* is the 1992 2-1 win. The lovely yellow away strip and of course THAT free kick. “Liam O’Brien. Over the wall” Perfection 🎯⚽️👌🔥✊ #NUFC youtu.be/sQxvrsL3TDc?...

46 years ago I was eagerly waiting for the record shop to open to buy this iconic album. It didn’t disappoint. I still regularly play it today 🎯👌🔥 That front cover photo too. One of musics best and most recognisable shots. Time to pop my t shirt on. #TheClash #punk

It’s beer o’clock 🕔🍺 time for a $UMO American Pale Ale from local brewer #MadSquirrel A beer named after the Summit and Mosaic hops in it, it’s a cracking beer with a nice tropical fruit and bitterness combination. Very refreshing 😋 Have a good evening Cheers! 🍻 #BskyBeer #CraftBeer #beer

A classic album. Here’s a cracking live performance from Burning Spear 🎯👌🔥 #BurningSpear #reggae #MusicSky youtu.be/FDMCQR7A-dY?...

An interesting triple album concept with some cracking songs on it including ‘The Magnificent Seven’ when punk met rap 🎯👌🔥 #TheClash #MusicSky youtu.be/WD5N0rTsulQ?...

Love this scene of Mick Jones doing the vocal track to ‘Stay Free’ from The Clash film ‘Rude Boy’ 🎯👌🔥 #TheClash #punk #MusicSky youtu.be/n1CmwUKpvcE?...

The last song The Jam played live was ‘The Gift’ and they left plenty of gifts to remember. 🎯👌🔥✊ #TheJam #MusicSky youtu.be/lZARgcCzbkU?...

Very interesting. Barnes or Gordon on the right? 60/40 it's Barnes. #NUFC

Glad for a home draw but Bournemouth will be a tough test for us. Howay the lads 🖤🤍 #NUFC
