The genius of Marvin Gaye and an absolutely classic album 🎯👌🫡 A question any decent person continues asking; ‘What’s Going On’ ?🤔 #MarvinGaye youtu.be/jo-5MI9-yjU?...

London calling with this gorgeous bottle conditioned ‘Table Beer’ pale ale from @kernelbrewery.bsky.social Only 3.0% ABV but full of flavour with lovely tropical fruit and citrus notes 😋 I see why @guymiller.bsky.social rates it so highly. Have a great evening. Cheers🍻 #BskyBeer #CraftBeer

A brilliant debut album, full of youthful energy 🔥🔥 Paul Weller was 18 years old when it was released! Here’s my well played vinyl copy of it 🎯👌 #TheJam

On this day in 1972, #TRex were at Number One in the UK singles chart with Metal Guru. youtu.be/HKt_bBvJDzg?si…

Great to read this in the Newcastle Utd v West Ham Utd match programme. My thanks to Paul Joannou, Newcastle's club historian, for the kind words and to Elizabeth Robledo, daughter of George Robledo, for gracing us with her presence over the past three weeks. It's been a blast!

Another brilliant effort by @worflags.org.uk paying tribute to Kieran Trippier. 🖤👏🤍 #NUFC #WorFlags

Pre match beer time and I’m drinking a cracking 4.7% ABV Newcastle Brown Ale style ‘Toon Broon’ by Blaydon’s Firebrick Brewery. Brewed on Tyneside 🎯👌 Howay the lads! 🖤🍺🤍 A lovely malt, caramel and nuttiness taste to it😋 Have a great evening. Cheers 🍻 #BskyBeer #beer #CraftBeer #FirebrickBrewery

I like this lineup. Good to see Trips starting on his last ever home match for us. Howay the lads! 🖤💪🤍 #NUFC

For one final time in black and white at St, James’ Park

A cracking pint of cask English Special Bitter at #GaribaldiPub St Albans. Cheers 🍻 #BskyBeer #beer

I’m really looking forward to sampling some great whisky in St Albans today. Dan @summertonclub.com always gathers a great selection of canny brands together to enjoy at this event. Slàinte 🥃🥃🥃🥃 #whisky summertonclub.com/swf26/

Farewell, Kieran Trippier, one of #NUFC’s greatest signings. With contributions from Amanda Staveley, Eddie Howe, Dan Burn, Wor Flags and many more. This is free to read. www.nytimes.com/athletic/728...

Beer o’clock and it’s a ‘Big Day Pale Ale’ by London brewery #JiddlersTipple for me. A nicely balanced beer with a lovely citrus and tropical taste to it. Very refreshing 😋 Have a great weekend. Cheers!🍻 #BskyBeer #CraftBeer #beer

What an album 🎯👌🔥 The cover version of Dr John’s ‘I Walk On Gilded Splinters’ is👌 Love this live performance of Paul Weller and his amazing band tearing it up on The Jools Holland Show 🎯👌🔥 (Jools on keyboards too)👌 #PaulWeller youtu.be/Znt4mWPhROs?...

Dan Burn interview: I rang mam and said ‘I don’t want to feel like this any more. When does it stop?’ The #NUFC & England defender talks mental health, speaking up, navigating a tough season, Eddie Howe, the World Cup and much more. This is FREE to read. www.nytimes.com/athletic/727...

Some superb songs on this album. Joe Strummer shouting out “This is a public service announcement, with guitar” is a brilliant intro on track 1 ‘Know Your Rights’ 🎯👌🔥 The lyrics still resonate today too 🎯👌 #TheClash youtu.be/1EKCAE1vDzY?...

🇩🇪⚫️⚪️ Newcastle need goals. Badly. But since Nick Woltemade has never been prolific, is he really the man to replace Isak? In a word, yes. He's technically excellent, creative, and a magnet for defenders. There's a reason the German's call him Wolte-Messi. youtu.be/yEgp7qDGJ5E #NUFC

76 years young today, happy birthday Stevie. An inspirational and amazing songwriter, performer, multi talented musician and person. Here’s one of my favourite songs by him 🎯👌🔥 #StevieWonder youtu.be/I1_uU9eIZRo?...

The Clash didn’t want this released as their 2nd single, but it’s a great song with superb lyrics that still resonate. “They had a meeting in Mayfair They got you down and wanna keep you there It makes them worried Their bank accounts It's all that matters You don't count” Here’s my copy #TheClash

Well of course I was going to like this album with it being ‘Black and White’ 🖤😀🤍 I bought it on its release day. The cover version of ‘Walk On By’ that was on the bonus 7” and also released as a single is superb 🎯👌 Great live version here 🎯👌🔥 #TheStranglers youtu.be/4wynfnKBHR8?...

A much missed icon and genuine legend. What a musical legacy he left and he constitutes inspire many today ❤️💛💚 #BobMarley #reggae #BobMarleyAndTheWailers A great fans celebration video here 🎯👌 youtu.be/IhQEBAl3Gpk?...

I bought this brilliant EP on its release day. Fantastic gatefold, inside covers and vinyl label design plus great songs. ‘I Fought The Law’ and ‘Capital Radio’ are well known but ‘Gates Of The West’ and ‘Groovy Times’ are very underrated and quite often fly under the radar. #TheClash #punk

A Geordie legend. Walker born Eric Burdon is 85 years young today. A brilliant singer, especially with The Animals and War. #EricBurdon youtu.be/NTsRFZ75abQ?...

I remember the men dressing just like this where I was brought up, as they headed off to the clubs and pubs. Great picture 🎯👌

Another canny beer from Blaydon Brewers #FirebrickBrewery A nice golden session ale; ‘Blaydon Brick’. Lovely biscuit, malt, toffee nose and taste. Very refreshing 😋 Have a great evening. Cheers 🍻 #BskyBeer #beer

A much better performance but our inability to hold on to a lead is so frustrating 😩 At least we are now mathematically safe from relegation! 🤨 #NUFC

Great goal. Well taken Harvey Barnes 🎯. That pass from Jacob Ramsey 🖤🎯👌🤍 #NUFC

It’s going to be interesting to see what formation we take with this lineup. Pretty good attacking options on the bench. Howay the lads 🖤🤍 #NUFC

A week tomorrow we will be paying tribute to a club legend ahead of his final game in black and white at St, James’ Park. Every Newcastle United fan knows how important he has been and it is our opportunity to say thank you. Help us give him a send off in style: worflags.org.uk/donate/

I picked up a four pack by Blaydon Brewers #FirebrickBrewery on a visit Yem last week. Beer o’clock is here so time to try one of them and it’s a canny beer. ‘Stella Spark’; a 4.5% ABV citrus blonde with a very refreshing citrus taste 🍺😋 Have a great evening. Cheers 🍻 #BskyBeer #CraftBeer #beer

What a song ‘I Fought The Law’ is 🎯👌 Many people I speak with don’t realise it was written by one of The Crickets in 1958. Love The Clash’s cover version of it. Topper Headon’s drumming on it is especially🔥 🔥🔥 #TheClash #punk youtu.be/AL8chWFuM-s?...

A legendary gig. The support bands were The Jam, The Buzzcocks, Subway Sect and The Prefects👌🎯 Around 200 seats got damaged due to “over exuberance”! Fans then passed the broken seats forward and stacked them on the stage. #TheClash #punk www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

One of the Stella Power Stations on the opposite bank of the Tyne in this great photo? Happy to be corrected if I’m wrong 😊

I’m just getting over a cold so a medicinal whisky for me tonight. A bit of Speyside magic with a 12yr old Glenallachie. Approved of by the new Toon Coo addition to the family too. Slàinte Mhath 🥃🥃 #whisky #Glenallachie

I’ve been playing this song recently as a mood booster. I’m sharing it in the hope that any decent people out there that need it, get a lift from it too 🫶 A brilliantly performed cover version of a superb Nick Lowe penned song 🎯👌 #ElvisCostelloAndTheAttractions youtu.be/Ssd3U_zicAI?...

One of my cats; in his mind he’s a fierce hunter. In reality; he’s soft as a teddy bear. Here he is letting a Magpie strut around in front of his nose bossing the patio 😃 #cats

Happy birthday, Sandro! 🥳

Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉

Reminds me of when Joe Harvey took a holiday and went to Budapest 😊 #NUFC 🖤🏆🤍

This was an interesting find in Newcastle. A microbrewery located in #BlackfriarsNewcastle brewing a lovely Blond Ale in the taste style of a monastic beer. It’s sited in the Chapter House where the friars used to gather. The IPA was canny too 😋 Cheers 🍻 #BskyBeer #StDominicsBrewery

Happy birthday Steve Diggle; 71 years young today. Some people didn’t realise that it wasn’t just Pete Shelley who wrote and sang for The Buzzcocks. The ‘Sounds’ review for the superb ‘Harmony In My Head’ said “Pete Shelley’s voice has gone very gruff”! 😳 #Buzzcocks #punk youtu.be/hYpf07xmT1w?...

Your vote is precious. Today millions of people across Wales, Scotland and England are voting in the hope that their choice will improve their lives. I hope it will. Politicians are asking for your vote; it grants power and removes it. Use it and remind them never to take you for granted.
