If you love live music then add Sheffield’s Get Together Festival into your diary for next year. Last Saturday was fantastic with some of the stand outs being

April Tapes
Callinsick
The Moonlandingz
Hotwax
Master Peace

Nope. Great Expectations cured me of that a long time ago.

Man Ray & Shelley will be our home: The birth of The Pale Fountains From time to time, a band can arrive seemingly fully formed - their look and sound perfectly realised from their very inception.

I started a Substack for my music musings, and the first post is a mixtape of The Pale Fountains & their influences, real and imagined.. please feel free to subscribe for free should you like what you see and hear 🙏🏻

Great night and the Lower Balcony gave a fantastic widescreen view. All venues need massive padded chairs, a table in front of you and a large red comes in a full pint glass!
Thank you Shack and Liverpool Olympia.

We did and it was glorious 😀

The weekend starts. Nic Cage high kick! Let’s go

Lovely morning in Gy

#Doves Another great album

Good work 👍

At least it doesn’t look like you lost it with OJ in there 🍺

Back to Liverpool in April.

Isn’t great when something you’ve forgotten about arrives to brighten up your day

I’ve a bad habit of reminding myself of my lost vinyl collection (my own fault) but all of the Motown Chartbusters not being in the house anymore makes me a little sad.

It was a magnificent knock down

Did you go inside to look as there always used to be a 2005/06 squad there? I never bought it but I would go in to check it was still on the shelf.

I don’t know about the best (top 10 would be difficult enough) but New Order were the loudest! Thought the bass was going to break my chest open.

Seasons greetings to one and all. Here’s to 3 points!

Goals from Duran Duran.

Michael Head and the Red Elastic Band were sensational in Liverpool last night. His appreciation of his audience nearly matched their love for him.

Good luck!

I mean, that’s everyone’s April isn’t it?

#GTFC win 5-2 and I find out that this work of genius is being re-released. My cup runneth over!

And he still managed to be walking at the end of the game!

New Moon on Monday every time.

It’s with great pride that I accept this accolade. The excitement is building for Michael Head & the Red Elastic in Liverpool next week. If #GTFC beat Accrington tonight then I’ll be beyond joyful!

However poor @grimsbytown.bsky.social home form might be. This weekends lack of a fixture has shown me that any Blundell Park performance is better than being dragged around Freshney Place. Up the Mariners.

This makes me think back to my 1970s Kenwood separates system that was lost in a house move twenty years ago. Still not over it!
