All set up and ready to go with bring-your-own vinyl from 2pm today. if you haven't been to clash in Dartington yet, you need to get yourselves along. No records? No problem. Feel free to choose from my selection...

I know that you've all spent Friday night riffling through your respective record collections in preparation for Sunday's Bring-Your-Own vinyl afternoon.

Soundtracking my walk to work this morning. TNSG will always be my favourite album, and the first I bought at the tender age of 13. #fallfriday music.youtube.com/watch?v=ojxk...

Tonight! Come and dance like you're broken-hearted at the school disco, 'cause Darren's playing tonsil tennis with Jackie in a darkened corner.

This Saturday! Get your fromage-tastic 80s lurve groove on ❤️

That would be 'girls', ITV News, or 'children', if you prefer. I certainly do.

"You gotta be cheerful-hearted There's at least 15 ways to leave your man Get a flat and a magazine Get your body ahead and out of that scene" #fallfriday youtu.be/EjjY8bvE9QE?...

TODAY! What better way to spend a wet Sunday afternoon than listening to an eclectic mix of music? The wonderful thing about BYO Vinyl is that I never know what I'm going to play - and I always discover new music. Bring along records 2-6pm to Clash at the Dartington Cider Press centre.

Who's bringing their own vinyl along to Clash in Dartington, Devon this coming Sunday...?

I'm doing a play-your-record-collection-in-its-entirety challenge. It's already taken weeks! This week, I've been on F and The Fall! Have got through 8 LPs & 9x12"s so far. I surprised myself by flinging myself around the room to this the most: #fallfriday youtu.be/TknrfLy2Ots?...

Prediction: this is the year when Hamnet makes a resurgence in the boys' names list

I am currently going through a play-your-entire-record-collection-in-order challenge (with certain caveats). I have to say that The Adult Net were criminally underrated. Yes, I am on Letter A 🤣 #FallFriday

I ran a bring-your-own vinyl afternoon last Sunday. Somebody brought this along. It goes without saying that they were my favourite person in the room. #FallFriday youtu.be/N8bjJf3Q5mE?...

Not to be outdone by Duran Duran, Bananarama & Erasure, the goddess that is Annie Lennox has now set off on her epic journey from Scotland to Things Happen Here in Devon for tomorrow's 80s Night. 8-11pm. Here's the *actual* footage. I told her to bring a coat. She wasn't having any of it. Hardcore.

My daughter started an Art Foundation course this week. You would thinkparticipants would be fully engaged in popular culture. But - she was chatting to another young person, and they'd never heard of The Smiths or Joy Division. How is this even possible?!

My lad and I will provide the indie soundtrack for your drinking pleasure this afternoon from 4pm. Things Happen Here, Dartington, Devon. Still filling those boxes, so send me a song request!

My son and I will be providing the chilled-out indie soundtrack to your drinking this Saturday evening at Things Happen Here, Dartington, Devon. 4-8pm. And it's looking sunny! 🤞

Whose as-yet-unwritten #autobiography would you like to read? My vote goes to James Murphy. #LCDSoundsystem

Spotted earlier this week in Newton Abbot library, Devon. I was in the cafe with my mum and glanced through at the books. 'Surprised' doesn't come close! #FallFriday

Charity shop workers: please don't do this. It will haunt my dreams tonight.

Just heard that Andy Bell from Erasure is on his way to 'Into the Groove' tomorrow night! His mates from Duran Duran, Bananarama & Spandau Ballet told him what a great time they had; he's got a serious case of FOMO. Let's hope he can make it for 8pm. Here's *actual* footage of his journey. Respect!

"My new house You should see my house My new house You should see my new house No rabbit hutch about it I bought it off the baptists I get the bills And I get miffed At the damn polyester fills The interior is a prison unconscious" #FallFriday youtu.be/D36kOzop6oo?...

Unconscionable.

Living my best life

ONE DAY TO GO!!!* Booked nearly 9 months ago. *Apologies for the shouting - I'm just too excited tenor.com/9ObH.gif

Three days to go. Going both nights. Not sure why I booked both. Not bothered really 😉

Tomorrow night 8-11pm at Things Happen Here, Dartington, Devon there's a FREE gig with headliners Bramwell, who are very reminiscent of early Fall. I'll be DJing too, in possibly the only mother-son DJ partnership around. Come along & support grassroots music #FallFriday youtu.be/RdpSgCRMF-A?...

Idea for band merch: most gigs I've been to recently have an upper size limit of A4 for bags. Totes are too big. I'd buy a branded, gig-compliant bag.

Do come along. It wouldn't be the same without you.

Free gig? This Saturday? We are spoiling you! For any of my followers who like The Fall, you will love the headliners, Bramwell. Things Happen Here, Dartington, 26 July, 8-11pm

Free gig alert! Next Saturday (26th) at Things Happen Here, Dartington, Devon. Bramwell are headlining; anyone who loves The Fall will also love them. Oh - and I'll be DJing on the night, along with my son. Please re-post to get the message out 🙏

The BEST thing about starting the summer holiday is knowing that there are NO MORE BASTARD PACKED LUNCHES TO MAKE for 6 whole, joyful weeks.

Well done on a remarkable year to all the students at The Birmingham School of Business School, who break up today for their hard-earned summer holiday. #FallFriday youtu.be/7mqH8lsubdo?...

It's bizarre how many grandparents, aunts and uncles suddenly drop down dead in the last week of the academic year! 🤣

A week today, come and Get Into The Summer Groove with non-stop 80s tunes guaranteed to keep you on the dancefloor all night! Things Happen Here, Dartington, Devon. 8-11pm. Free entry!

In a gig first last night, one monumentally paralytic lad pulled out a bottle of TreSemme (other hair products are available) and announced that he'd smuggled in vodka in it! 🤣

In honour of my son, who starts his Gold DofE expedition today - in 28° heat #FallFriday youtu.be/S_T02BI7WGs?...
