Last night's entertainment at @soundloungecio.bsky.social was provided by The Rousings (featuring @heykidsshop.bsky.social) with an acoustic solo support from David Fisher Really enjoyable sets from both #photography #music #sutton #london

There are some pretty horrible characters in Nuts In May, but calling it ‘Horror TV’ is maybe going a tad too far, Amazon

Playing 'Brenda's Iron Sledge' by @robynhitchcock.bsky.social in memory of Andy Kershaw :-( RIP Andy www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnKh...

Madison Cunningham at Shepherd's Bush Empire last night It was a magical experience; I was slack jawed in awe of the performance at the end of it #photography #music #London

Stage setup ahead of Madison Cunningham’s appearance at the Shepherds Bush Empire tonight #london #music

A couple of colourful St David's Day events in Cardiff on Sunday - Cardiff Arms Park Male Choir drew a crowd to watch them sing inside John Lewis department store - the regular Parade passed around the centre of the city before finishing up at Cardiff Castle #photography #Cardiff #Wales

everything from the fit of the jacket to that head tilt as he says it is so completely Brass Eye i actually cannot cope

According to Google Maps, this corner of St Ouen in Paris (famous for its extensive flea markets) is the location of the 'Marché du Connard Arrogant' - in English, the 'Market of the Arrogant Asshole' I suspect a market stall nearby left some customer very disgruntled 😆

Peter Case (The Nerves/The Plimsouls) and @sidthesquid.bsky.social (Long Ryders/Coal Porters) at @soundloungecio.bsky.social last night A fab set from each and then a few songs together at the end; my first time seeing Peter live and I was not disappointed #photography #music #London #Sutton

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

At the @soundloungecio.bsky.social in Sutton this evening for @sidthesquid.bsky.social and Peter Case performing together 😎

'In limiting its value to where it led, we damn The Colour Of Spring with faint praise. Itself a vital manifesto, it’s always deserved its own raptures, and not just for familiar songs' Many Happy Returns to Talk Talk’s The Colour Of Spring, which turns 40 today! buff.ly/lh69Z5M

Netherlands Foto Museum. Excellent.

www.ft.com/content/d613... There may be no finer place to see photography than Rotterdam’s Fotomuseum. This really is an excellent museum. I’ll post pics shortly.

My life is effectively a suburban Surrey sitcom now. Sanderstead Waitrose, in the "Too Good to Waste" section, catch the eyes of Norman, lead 2nd clarinet in the amateur orchestra that I left a couple of years now. Spent the next ten minutes weaving the aisles, trying to avoid him.

Out last night with @moiness.bsky.social to see Guy Chambers doing his one-man show at Pizza Express in High Holborn Lots of chat about his time working with Robbie Wiliams, and also his band The Lemon Trees, who were greatly under-appreciated IMO #photography #music #London

Last night at the @soundloungecio.bsky.social in Sutton we were treated to @peterbruntnell.bsky.social celebrating his birthday earlier in the week, so many happy returns to you, Pete! #photography #music #London

The Long Ryders 🎸are delighted to announce their brand-new album! High Noon Hymns delivers a blend of alt-country roots, Paisley Underground adventure, Americana grit, and the band’s own SoCal ☀️soulful edge. And you can dance to it! Pre-order the album here: cherryred.co/HighNoonHymns

"It is the most shattering experience of a US President‘s life when one morning he awakes and quite reasonably says to himself 'I will never defeat the Dane.' “When that moment comes, one's ambition ceases."

"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."

Many congratulations to Dr Alex Langlands & team from Swansea for this stunning new discovery from Margam Park in south Wales 😮🥳. The coastal belt in south Wales is very heavily ploughed, but it sounds like this villa complex has been preserved below old parkland 👌 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bringing some much-needed joy and delight to a grey Sunday afternoon in January: @emmatricca.bsky.social, @pollypaulusma.bsky.social and Pete Greenwood performing at The Betsey Trotwood in Farringdon yesterday #photography #music #London

Drink The Sea performing at The Jazz Café in Camden yesterday #photography #music #London

At the Jazz Cafe this evening for a show by new supergroup, Drink The Sea, featuring Peter Buck & Barrett Martin amongst others

Full marks to bol.com (Dutch mail order company) for their intricate, elaborate & quite bonkers diorama on display in a glass case in Antwerpen Centraal. Someone had fun constructing this! and I had fun looking at it. A delightful contrast to the AI slop permeating Christmas ads elsewhere.

This is cool. The three norths (True, Grid, Magnetic) met in Dorset in November 2022, worked their way northwards in tandem, and are now about to leave England and go hand in hand into the North Sea. www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/news/three-n...
