Dubious Yorkshire sportswear and top pre-match, post-hardcore tunes from Fire Blanket this afternoon @theoddies.bsky.social @fireblanketband.bsky.social

We’ve got a great day in store for tomorrow’s top of the table clash against Warrington Rylands, including a big comeback… Bombay Away make their long-awaited return with kebabs and curries at the Corner Van! All the usual great entertainment and food & drink also available #WeAreStrongerUnited

Low beer miles on tonights choice. Made a less than 15 minute walk from home. Crich Brewery Choc-nilla. Ideal for an Autumn night. Cheers all #Beersky

Got earlybird tickets for next years @gettogetherfest.bsky.social in Sheffield. Not many names out yet but it's a reliably good day out.

#SOTW for me this week is the new one from Helicon. This time with Al Lover on "Arise". New @heliconglasgow.bsky.social album on the way is good news. youtu.be/B78vPTRXmkE?...

I adored the Leonard and Hungry Paul novel and was nervous the TV adaptation wouldn't do it justice. I needn't have been. Just wonderful 😍 share.google/axuKPSzx3ScG...

Familiar with his works from Derby Museum @derbymuseums.bsky.social and now lucky Londoners get to share them for a while. They are really striking up close. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

What a weekend. Two days of JT Soar fest. Highlights included 100 Flowers, supersubs Stuart Pearce, Ye Nuns and Yummy Fur, before a mighty triple drummer House of All conclusion. Same time next year🙂

Legends of The Fall or Legends in Your Local , take your pick , House Of All bring the curtain down on The JT Soar weekend fest at The VAT , Nottingham with a blistering set , mesmerising , how many drummers 🤔

Latest gig digs view. Verdict: monstrous

Ye Nuns? Tons of fun! At Jt Soar Fest #Nottingham

Book, author and publisher all well worth checking out #Booksky

Just down the road.

#SOTW Anna Calvi and Perfume Genius "I See A Darkness" . Following Johnny Cash in covering this Bonnie Prince Billy tune. Moody. youtu.be/57z_tFA52Xo?...

Gig digs view this morning. Not bad. There's a bit going on. #Manchester

Lovely little Morris Minor Traveller spotted in Musselburgh this morning. It’s tiny compared to the newish cars in the background.

Excellent night out with @prolapseband.bsky.social and Stuart Pearce (I love a band in uniform!) "Doing it for the East Midlands" in Manchester tonight. Both on top form.

On the way to @prolapseband.bsky.social in Manchester. Train announcer just said " Welcome to Elvis Presleys favourite Derbyshire town. Viva Chez Vegas" 😁

Another sharply drawn character study from Willy Vlautin. It aptly has the sadness and resilience of an old country/blues tune. Great writing. #BookSky

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires. There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.

Looking forward to this at the weekend. Last mini festival of the year. "JT Soar Fest is back for 2025" share.google/XwYunSLCtt4b...

Share the last movie you watched.

#booksky, can you help? In so many ways this has been a glorious week of collaboration and support, but it’s ended on a downer…

Another most enjoyable "Outta Mind" night at @dubrekstudios.bsky.social. Happy to see the Empty Page again @thmptypg.bsky.social with Dim Bulbs and Trigger Thumb (with plant🪴).

Waking up to the best news, the return of @krankenhausfest.bsky.social next year.

#SOTW is the charming "Flowers" by Assistant share.google/89wA3xByAIlx...

Stuart Pearce and Teenage Tom Petties on top form last night at JT Soar #Nottingham. Ditto The Roebucks who I hadn't seen or heard before.

Tickets and digs sorted for this. Long way off but not been to the Piece Hall before so one to look forward to.

Tons to enjoy in the streets and venues of Hockley and Sneinton today for the "Hockley Hustle" #Nottingham

@brokenchanter.bsky.social was SO f**kin good in Cov last night! Says he’s “never had a bad gig in Coventry”. Happy to report, he continued his winning streak last night!👌 If you’re going to see @emmapollock.bsky.social on her current tour, get there early. You don’t want to miss this guy!🤩🤩🤩

Tonights gig.Emma Pollock + Broken Chanter. Two acts, one cello, no drums, lots of moments of pure loveliness. Top company and another enjoyable trip to Coventry.

#SOTW Soulwax "Gimme a Reason". Always good to hear what they've been up to. youtu.be/u-LupijVmi8?...

Abandoned gas station in Glenrio, Texas. One of my own photos, taken a couple of weeks ago.

Went to a pub quiz tonight and one of the rounds was all about Margaret Thatcher 😬 This didn't come up. youtu.be/vKoCg3hgJRw?...

Another book I kept quickly returning to. A taut, ominous debut novel with an unusual ending. #Booksky

TONIGHT. MANCHESTER. What else you gonna do on a Monday night huh!? Come on down to the Peer Hat and support the DIY Indie scene, we'd love to see you there! @perennialtheband.bsky.social @safesuburban.bsky.social

Fully behind the pull quote and full statement here. A very ill-thought out idea.

Todays cinema trip. Loved the film making and the contemporary soundtrack really worked Had never seen it before.

And "Oliver! by Oliver" was even more entertaining than this description promised.

Happy Bookshop Day everyone📚

#SOTW Just Mustard "Endless Deathless" youtu.be/D7l_F1Xcu88?...

#NP Had to give this a listen given the description. Right up my street 🤩

And if you’re in the Derbyshire area on that day, Bookshop Day, 11th October, then you definitely should head over to Little Eaton and visit the one and only Bearded Badger Books pop up shop. bsky.app/profile/bear...

It’s bookshop day on 11th October. A day to celebrate your local bookshop. You could even go totally bananas and buy my latest, Saltburn, which is about, after all, small businesses being assailed by big business. Well, that’s one thing it’s about… booksaremybag.com/BookshopDay/...

PLEASE SHARE! Louder Than War Live Festival - March 2026 with SEA POWER, EVIL BLIZZARD, BENEFITS, HEAVY LUNGS THE SICK MAN OF EUROPE, WHITE MAGIC FOR LOVERS more TBA! @seapowerband.bsky.social @benefitstheband.bsky.social @evilblizzard.bsky.social louderthanwar.com/louder-than-... v

Really enjoyed this, and the follow up. Well worth investigating.🌷

Our next pop up at the brilliant Bouquet in Little Eaton (Derbyshire)… happens to coincide with Bookshop Day! 😊📚🍷

Haven't read a book in a day for a long time. A chilling debut novel giving different perspectives on toxic masculinity and online culture, with unnerving consequences. #Booksky
