☎️ Final Call - Tomorrow Night. ☎️ wegottickets.com/f/14992

Always a grin to play the Dublin Castle with The Landline. We're back there headlining this Saturday's lineup with some of the best tunes of the 90s

Was a treat to hear the deadly dub riffs of Doug Wimbish as part of yer man's On-U Sound crew at the Barbican last night, not to mention African Head Charge's bass-hefty wobble

Next Saturday, we return to The. Dublin Castle in Camden. See you down the front 🤘📞

Where they are allowed to, immigrants generally work hard and pay their taxes. Tax-dodging Jim Ratcliffe, by contrast, used a charity to "fund a £16m luxury clubhouse for an exclusive French Alps club [25k joining fee, annual subs 6k] where he and his daughter have skied for years."

Really enjoyed playing The Pelton Arms in Greenwich last night. Great crowd - hopefully we'll see them again. Next up for @thelandlineband.bsky.social is Camden's Dublin Castle on Sat 21st Feb

Come and join us next Saturday at the pelton arms. ☎️

For our first gig of 2026 @thelandlineband.bsky.social will be rocking up at the Pelton Arms in Greenwich on Sat 7 Feb for a night of super 90s sonics. And you're all on the guest list

Great shop! Love having Fish Planet so close, though restraint is needed to avoid dropping in too often and overdoing the aquatic purchases

RIP Sly Dunbar. Magical drummer. Magnificent duo - Sly and Robbie. youtube.com/watch?v=u_5G...

🚨EMERGENCY PROTEST 📍 Tomorrow 6pm, Trafalgar Sq. LDN Yesterday ICE shot and killed Alex Pretti, the second ICE murder in two weeks in Minneapolis. People are rising up across the US in response. #standuptoracism

Surely Senegal will be kicked out of #AFCON? You can't just walk off in a huff when decisions go against you. Argyle would barely have finished a game this season

Nothing's gonna ruin this #AFCON final quicker than frequent cutaway shots of Gianni Infantino. @channel4tv.bsky.social need to put up an 'images that all viewers should find distressing' warning

Sick of this malignant imbecile. Sick of his hate, sick of his stupidity, sick of his racism, sick of his lies. Just shut him up and shut the fucking thing down already. Not wanted here. #shutdownX www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

My friend Yshani (amazing musician!) is doing this epic fundraiser for Palestine on January 15th at Hoxton Hall and you should totally go. She is incredible. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sounds-lik...

Let's be clear: it is not for Elon Musk to "urgently deal" with his business's production of child pornography, it's for the Home Secretary to urgently call the Commissioner of the Met and ask when we can expect to see senior Twitter execs being arrested and brought in for questioning.

What a great way to see in 2026 among the affable crowd at Signature Brewery Haggerston last night, enhanced by the choice tunes of the @hdiflondon.bsky.social DJs. I'm suffering for it a little today, of course

First visit to Coles Park for a Spartan League game this season and @haringeyboroughfc.bsky.social served up an 8 (eight) goal feast. Can't recall having seen a team score 8 since my junior football days. Shilton's #PAFC knocked in 8 at Hartlepool in 94 but I didn't have the stamina for that trip!

𝗙𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗗𝗔𝗬! 🎄⚽ We host Crawley Green in our final Spartan League game before the big man delivers (that's Santa, not Adrian Clifton) The tea urn is on, the bar is fully stocked AND OPEN LATE afterwards! Come on down, eat, drink, be merry and get behind the boys! #WeAreHaringey

Dead Kennedys’ Frankenchrist is sadly relevant at 40 years old. The album is a full-scale assault on Reagan’s America–the hypocrisy, seedy undercurrent beneath the slogans, and institutional racism. tinyurl.com/DeadKenn85

Well, what's Christmas without George Michael, tho perhaps not this track. Our seasonal @thelandlineband.bsky.social bash at The Finsbury featured the odd curveball - and was huge fun. Thanks to all who joined us

I miss the days when “conspiracy theory” meant Lord Lucan was living with Shergar on a farm in Brigadoon.

@talk90stome.bsky.social I can promise this night with @thelandlineband.bsky.social will be fun on Friday evening, if any of you are in the relevant neck of the woods! (You don't actually need a ticket)

Tomorrow night we're back for our annual Christmas bash at The Finsbury, London N4, performing some prime 90s indie tuneage, from Britpop and baggy to big beat. And it's all free! Jon Mcleod kicks things off at 8pm; The Landline take over from 8.45

I've updated the text size to reflect my strength of feeling.

Excited to notice this new venue and shop when I walked past the other day. Can't wait to drop by

OK, so this is an unintentionally abstract pic of Mclusky's rollicking show at Chalk in Brighton last night, but why spend time on your camera phone when a gig is so much fun? Lovely stuff @shitrock.bsky.social

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism". These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

Three unrelated things

Next up for The Landline is our end-of-year bash at the marvellous Finsbury, Manor House on Friday 12 December, when we'll be playing the best of 90s indie. And this one's free entry @thelandlineband.bsky.social

In my corner of the bass-playing universe there was life pre- and post-Mani. He brought a liquid, melodic funkiness that EVERYONE copied. And when I finally met him he was exactly how you imagined him: joyful, generous, unstarry (& more of a star because of it) and wickedly funny. A life well lived

Plenty of reasons why The Stone Roses were so much better than the legions of British bands who wanted to be them. But a big one was having a bassist who could hold it together with so much natural funk and drive and absolute joy in his playing. RIP Mani.

RIP Mani. An inspiration x
