Soon to be playing on the Sanyo Music Centre, my Holy Tetralogy of life affirming records. Joni Mitchell’s ‘Ladies of the Canyon’. Carole King’s ‘Tapestry’. Carly Simon’s ‘No Secrets’. Linda Ronstadt’s ‘Heart Like A Wheel’.

Extremely enjoyable night at The Atkinson, Southport, with John Power talking about his life, The La’s and Cast. Linking his stories to his songs, he really seems to be in a good place. Massive year for Cast as they are supporting Oasis on their “live ‘25” tour and have a new album in the can.

Rest in peace Stu, Kev, Chris and Philip, 4 of the 97. #Hillsborough #JFT97 #YNWA #HillsboroughLawNow

The 18 @LFC fans from Sefton, always on our minds and forever in our hearts. 36 years ago today. May they always rest in peace. #Hillsborough #JFT97 #YNWA #HillsboroughLawNow #dontbuythesun

Lancashire Crisps available at the Wine Rack in (not Tory) Birkdale @robbohuyton.bsky.social . @thelatechallenge.bsky.social

The last surviving Battle of Britain pilot, John "Paddy" Hemingway, has died at the age of 105. Blue skies Sir. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Shocker! #JamesBond

Shocked and saddened to hear of the death of Rick Buckler. Thinking of his family and friends #RIP youtu.be/KxT4j_kF4Qo

Continuing the crisp theme, here’s Burt’s Reaper Chilli and lime flavour. @thelatechallenge.bsky.social

Is this a whole new level of crisp @thelatechallenge.bsky.social ?

@thelatechallenge.bsky.social I think you mentioned them @robbohuyton.bsky.social , but Fiddler’s Lancashire crisps, made not 15 miles from where I am in (not Tory) Birkdale, are top tier.

Rest in peace Marianne Faithfull.

Here’s my effort toward keeping Wham! Last Christmas at No 1 for Christmas Day. Five different copies of the 40th anniversary re-issue. 🙂

Completed my 1,000th Wordle but not consecutively. Annoyingly, I forgot to do it on 23rd October and last Saturday. Ah well!

On this day in 1982 Beat Surrender by The Jam was the No 1 single, The John Lennon Collection the No 1 album (I bought both, the latter on cassette for my Sony Walkman) & I joined the Home Office in London.

Great night at the Liverpool Philharmonic with Northern Soul Orchestrated.

Been looking forward to this so much. Legendary broadcaster Stuart Maconie is here teaming up with the BBC Concert Orchestra and special guest soloists for a celebration of Northern Soul, orchestrated.

My postie has delivered some great books this week. The @coldwarsteve.bsky.social Annual 2025 is personally signed and features my face, twice!

Starting Friday at the Crown in Birkdale. Decent place for families this.

#RIP Andy Paley, a very talented musician, producer and composer who worked with Brian Wilson, Ramones, Darlene Love, Jerry Lee Lewis and many others...

What perfect albums came out when you were 16?

Thoroughly enjoyed Suzi Quatro at the Liverpool Philharmonic tonight. From the authentic, platform stomping glam rock of Can the Can, Devilgate Drive and her other early hits to the Laurel Canyon vibes of Stumblin’ In, she was on great form. Still rocking at 74!

On route to Goodison Park for today’s WSL Merseyside Derby. @officiallfc.bsky.social Women.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

Lunchtime pizza at Jordy’s in Nantwich. A “Portarosso” with anchovies, capers and jalepenos, Parmesan chips and a proper double espresso. Highly recommended.

Here’s an unexpected cover version that’s not bad. ELO’s Evil Woman by Duran Duran. Give it a listen. youtube.com/watch?v=WDod...

The problems some people face appear insurmountable. I hope she’s ok.

The ELO Encounter were rather good in Nantwich last night. Captured the sound of Jeff Lynne’s ELO perfectly and made a lot of sexagenarians very happy.

Hi new butterflies. Welcome to the friendlier skies.

Very proud and privileged to volunteer at the Birkdale Community Hub & Library and work alongside such lovely people. This award is a tribute to every single volunteer who helped set up, establish and run the Hub.

The thing about Pot Noodle is you HAVE to try every new flavour already knowing it’ll be a bit shit. This, vegan, gravy & stuffing Pot is no different. They’ll never better the awesome Bombay Bad Boy though. Top tier comfort food.

Vote Kelly Cates for Match of the Day.

Remembrance Day respectfully observed at AFC Liverpool’s home game with Ashton Athletic last night. Lest we forget.

Everything that is wrong with Great Britain in one sentence.

Bumped into this huge, red cormerant at the Liverpool FC women’s match v Chelsea yesterday. Lost 0-3 which did not reflect the balance of play at all.

Some photographs of Lulu from Saturday’s performance at the Liverpool Empire. At 76 she looks great and sounds even better.

Tonight’s gig is “Champagne for Lulu”, celebrating her 60 years in show-biz at the Liverpool Empire. Hoping to hear her Bond theme as it’ll be the third one I’ve heard live by the original artist.

Popped into the Wine Rack in Birkdale Village and was tempted by Stone Buenaveza salt & lime lager. Decent!

Tremendous night at the Liverpool Empire watching two tribute bands, Nearly Dan supporting the Illegal Eagles.
