It just feels as though Sleaford Mods have lost momentum, the giddy rush of political fire gone, special guests wheeled out like an ageing sitcom - open.substack.com/pub/andyreil...

Oh Yeah is standing in your bedroom, heart pounding, replaying voice notes that don't say what you hope they will and still pressing play again. The sound of leaning forward, hoping to be caught. Big guitars, stscked harmonies, fast feelings. No pause button. Yours 11 Feb. 🖤

If you haven’t heard SHEARS yet, you’re missing out. Easily one of the strongest Scottish talents right now - her live show is excellent: open.substack.com/pub/andyreil...

The new @katherinepriddy.bsky.social single is quite the punch to the stomach before 9 in the morning. Powerful ruminations.

Why wait for the April tour to see @katherinepriddy.bsky.social when you can see her in Glasgow in January for 21 bangers all in? (Also, go see her in April as well if you can)

The night before I released 'Matches' and announced the new album, I sat down and wrote a few thoughts about the process - how wonderful and terrifying and addictive it all is, and the importance in looking backwards as well as forwards as you enter a new chapter. www.katherinepriddy.co.uk/the-view/

No doubt @heliconglasgow.bsky.social are the band you need when you want Saturday night to turn weird…in the best way: open.substack.com/pub/andyreil...

Ahead of next month’s UK tour dates, check out a new podcast interview I did recently with on Spotify here: open.spotify.com/episode/040i... Discussing recovery from shoulder surgery, playing ‘Get Ready’ live, my next book & more…

After last week’s escapades of SFA tickets, BRJ tickets, Billy Nomates gig and T-shirt then Charlotte de Witte in London, I was hoping for a cheap week. And yet here’s @katherinepriddy.bsky.social with album and tour announcement.

An interview with @peterhookthelight.bsky.social - Great chat as you’d expect, a book exclusive, insults, injuries and more - open.spotify.com/episode/040i...

The new @katherinepriddy.bsky.social is a belter - She’s great across many styles but my favourite is when it’s darker with a story to tell: youtu.be/zmXIkszho8M?...

Really lovely review, thanks Andy. Four shows left on the tour... See you in Leeds, Gateshead, Glasgow & Manchester this week x
