Ryan Bridge has become a familiar face in Stirchley lately. He's one of two "company directors" of raisetheflags.org, where he collects donations from ยฃ10-ยฃ500 for flags.

Lovely day at Ryland Caravan at the Mac in the (very hot) sunshine yesterday. The Tubs, Miki Berenyi, Stuart Murdoch and all the other bands were great.

It's 36 years since I first saw the Pixies (Brighton, Top Rank, 1989). 36 years later they still sound great. The support Big Special were great tonight too.

They have. I think it is a really good creative move. But I do love electronica as much as indie / shoegaze etc.

It really was. Two great bands in an intimate venue. Seen a few really good, newish bands there this year already. I am lucky to live just a 20 minute walk from the H&Hs.

Morning! I know youโ€™re busy being festive so letโ€™s keep it brief. As a special Xmas treat weโ€™re giving you a brand new song called โ€œMissilesโ€! Itโ€™s a six minute anti war epic and youโ€™ll be able to see it from 930am on XMAS EVE via our YouTube channel.

Thats it. You made the nice listโ€ฆ

In a crowded field of great gigs, tonight in Birmingham, Meryl Steek was one of the best gigs this year for me. Such great songs delivered with passion.
