“There’s a Starman waiting in the sky …” Lots of people have at least one David Bowie memory.  His 69 years on earth were filled with musical highlights, fashion iconography, and times when he stood up for minorities through adrodgon…

Ready for Scunthorpe Parkrun.

@marcusbrent.bsky.social Horizon Watchers - 14% double barrel aged Scotch Ale from Tempest with BBE October 2025. It's a "wow".

32.24 today - not bad considering my lack of running over the past month and a half (17 runs in that time!).

Ready for my first Parkrun since August.

The sound of pure joy. This is my second blog concerning albums that have & continue to inspire me. In October 1984 my brother and I went to the Birmingham NEC to see U2. They were supported by The Waterboys, a band …

My latest blog on music that inspires me:

A lesson in how to write songs. This series of blogs will contain music that has inspired me and continues to do so. I’m not claiming they are the greatest albums ever, although many would be amongst my personal favourites,…

A new series of occasional blogs where I write about albums that have (& continue to) inspire me.

At the interval - it's been fabulous so far! If I can sing like Bob Catley when I'm 78 I'll be happy!

@marcusbrent.bsky.social at the Picturedome Holmfirth awaiting Magnum!

This beer is over 13 years old & is stunning. The first time I drank Courage Imperial Stout was a 25 year old version in the Kulminator bar in Antwerp. That was 1 of the best beers I ever drank. I had the same vintage 18 months later and it was gone. This 13 year old is great.

Enjoying this French Classic, one of my favourite all time beers.

30.47 today! Thanks to the bloke who gave me a "push" with a km to go.

Ready for Parkrun at Scunthorpe again!

With @rachelmorrison.bsky.social at Scunthorpe Parkrun thus morning.

@marcusbrent.bsky.social @brentaidan.bsky.social finally cracked open a can of @thornbridge.bsky.social String Dark Mild. Amazing! Exactly how a strong dark mild should be.

It was! Very good too!
