Born on this day in 1942.
John Cale - the greatest living Welshman 🏴
His classic "Paris 1919" is one of my all time favourite albums 🎶

I’m there 🍌
Land Surveyor’s setlist from Saturday, featuring some beloved Josef K/Paul Haig classics.
Fantastic first show, let’s hope there’s more to come.
Definitely Kenny, the Voodoo Rooms would be perfect.
They were excellent, let’s hope there’s more to come.
Land Surveyor at the Glad Cafe last night, what a joy to see Paul Haig and Malcolm Ross back on stage together, sounding wonderful.

Mmm, I’d rather not know. The mystery’s always better.
Yes, those astonishing cheekbones. Loving your Bowie birthday present, I’m planning to go too, and to the V&A warehouse.
Haha! He always had amazing hair, from that Suzi Ronson cut onwards.
New month, spacey new David on St David’s Day.

Yes, sorry to miss the Gales, they’re always brilliant. Thought I’d better see Land Surveyor in case it doesn’t happen again!
Ha, nothing so dramatic! A few people snapped it, I just picked it up after they finished. Sorry to miss The Nightingales, hoped to catch the end of the set but didn’t make it back here until 10.45.
Happy belated birthday Phil ⚡️
Look out for pix and the setlist later - it came home with me!
Fab, looking forward to the launch in Leith next week.
Great @marcrileydj.bsky.social session

Dropped by Kirsty’s bench today, on a rainy morning in Soho.

Another beauty 🦊
Let’s hope so, I saw them in Leith last year with the great Gerry Love on bass.
They’re so great together, thanks for sharing the clip.
James Kirk performing his Orange Juice classic Felicity with Warren McIntyre at the Betsey Trotwood this evening. The songs they've been working on together sounded great too

This is lovely. Marc Riley played it last night, first time I’d heard it.
