Christmas dinner Lugang style. Enjoy your sprouts, everyone!

What’s for dessert, Mum?

The traditional Christmas Eve hike up Taiwan’s highest mountain (3,952m). 2am wake up call, freezing weather and no visibility at the top. Merry Xmas, everyone!

Sorry to hear the news of Tony Woolgar’s passing. He was a wonderful character and recorder of the Leeds music scene for decades. This photo he took of us in 1988, for the Under My Hat single, is one of our favourites - those kids! RIP Tony.

Had a wonderful time at Spiral City, Barnsley. Stunning bar, friendly crowd, and lively Sunday night. Lovely to catch up with old friends. Hope to get an invite to DJ again soon.

Really enjoyed tonight for @cud.bsky.social ‘s last 2025 show at @nathbrudenell.bsky.social . Felt like the bass was playing itself. Wonderful crowd. Thanks for your support this year. And a very merry Xmas!

Looking forward to watching @theindiecountry.bsky.social at our show on Saturday!

Got my set worked out for Sunday Sevens at Spiral City. More cowbells than sleigh bells. Join the Christmas party in Barnsley from 2.30pm.

The highlight of the upcoming Ewbank’s Comic Book auction this month is surely a page of original art by Jamie Hewlett, published in Deadline No. 1 in 1988, featuring the first appearance of… https://downthetubes.net/tank-girl-first-appearance-art-offered-in-upcoming-ewbanks-comic-book-auction/

Fantastic to be shortlisted for the @sla.org.uk Information Book Award and finally meet illustrator Richard Watson at last night’s ceremony. No prize for us this time but congratulations to the worthy winners.

Very sad news. I had one wonderful evening in the company of Pam Hogg, DJ Martin Green and Carl from CUD, hitting London clubs back in the '90s. She was entertaining, lively company with such inspired fashion sense. A treasure. RIP

Excellent, candid piece from David on his diagnosis and treatment here. All the best to him. Here's hoping for a full recovery and much more folk horror.

Did you get our card? From the archives, two 90s Xmas issues of the Space CUDet mag plus a club members' card. Come celebrate Yule with the band again at Leeds @nathbrudenell.bsky.social on Saturday, December 13. Last available tickets here: brudenellsocialclub.seetickets.com/event/cud/br...

Whoa! Sudden, sad news. Great bass player and, it seems, a lovely bloke with much more to offer. RIP Mani.

As I start work on my 7th (!) dinosaur book, I sought out the one that inspired me decades ago. It's factually dated but full of images forever etched on my brain.

Enjoy @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social, comic chums! Would love to join you (now I'm local) but @cud.bsky.social is booked for a different kind of weekender at the other end of the country. Hopefully, next year...
