Andy Lewis

He’s bass player on an album I’ve mixed that’ll be out this year and it’s something I think you’ll appreciate!

Look out for Ian Jennings on bass. He’s bloody brilliant.

There was a mod do that once refused to let me in because I wasn’t mod enough and let me tell you I was furious. I was dressed like a Yardbird in 1966, but apparently that wasn’t smart enough. I’ve never been to a club with a dress code since, nor have I ever run one.

No, looks great.

A brilliant idea!

Ha! Just think, if I'd used my family's connections I might be Bishop of Durham by now.

"Oh, you're only jealous"
No. I'm absolutely not. I too have played Cardiff to around 80 people, a feat I managed without any help from a famous surname.

It's always worth remembering that *this* is the BBC, not their increasingly awful news channel.

Juxtaposition of two posts with dog looking at cat and a completely different cat (presumably!) poking their tongue out.

The perfect juxtaposition of posts! @alexvont.bsky.social

Bagwash! I’d forgotten about her.

It’s given me a pain in the Balkans

It is.

Play the B side. It's one of the greatest things they ever did. Why Can't I Touch It, it's called. youtu.be/ed1704QRKh4?...

Blimey. They've all bought some equipment for the show. That Rickenbacker bass looks like it's still got the price tag on it.

The demo version of Daughter Of The Sun- piano, bass & drums- is the best record Julie Driscoll never made.

I believe they will come second in a lot of places, including where they already have MPs.

Oh yeah, maybe that too!

Reform are like the USS Gerald Ford. Look more impressive than they actually are. Full of shit. A busted flush. Depending on a lot of things going right to make any headway. Carrying a lot of people who’d jump ship at the first opportunity. Commanded by has beens.

- Anyway, it’s job done for Reform really. They blame their loss on something other than being less popular than they think they are, and start proposing outrageous policies that have idiots and racists going yeahhhhgh. Meanwhile the press lap it all up.

- My timeline is full of the news that Reform are going to restrict the vote to British citizens if they form a government. Well, I’m going to restrict Shirley Bassey to only singing Yes and Jezahel if I get to be her musical director, which is about as likely. -

Again for those at the back, Reform’s job in that latest by-election wasn’t to win. They’d no chance. I knew this as soon as they chose that Matt Goodwin as the candidate. No, their job was to lose, and blame their loss on things that keep the hate pot boiling. Which is what’s happened. -

A propos of the last repost, I've now got this on my mind. I've got it on their album Leatherslade Farm which is hard enough to get hold of, but have never seen the 7". youtu.be/vXIcgE1gdtY?...

🎵You’ve blown it all Sky High
By selling me a pie🎵

Absolute genius Jigsaw reference.
As an aside, they're a band that crashed every scene going between 1966 and the early 80s. Sky High is only a small part of it. For what it's worth, they actually did a track called Seven Fishes*. Maybe there's a Seven Fishes chippy somewhere.
(*it's amazing)

Happy St. David's Day! youtu.be/0z8VfymHwH4?...

I bloody hope not.

Mark R was so close to being on the receiving end of a forcefully thrown bread roll at some awards do we were both at. The only reason it never made contact is that I was discreetly asked to put it down. I always regret complying with the request. I've never liked the fame-hungry pillock.

I first learned about 15 minute cities (or something very similar) doing geography a level in the 1980s, and it was a positive thing! How this has become a reframed as an assault on personal freedom and liberty would make a fascinating case study for such a course.
