A simple thumbnail image for the video The Final Trawl, showing members of The Longest Johns and Kimber's Men arranged around a microphone, in front of a red curtain backdrop.

We managed to grab our dear friends Kimber's Men for a song while they were passing through Bristol, and here's what we did! Nothing fancy, just six voices and a mic. Enjoy ❤️

1:1 Scale FF VII Buster Sword Replica This 1:1 scale recreation of the iconic Buster Sword from Final Fantasy 7 is a behemoth of a prop. Measuring a staggering 170cm (5′7″) long it's sure to impress, whether it's as a cosplay accessory...

Logo for Desert Bus For Hope 2025, showing that text sitting on the horizon, where a stylised crisp blue Arizona sky hangs above an endless stretch of road, vertically dividing the desert. Above all this hangs a pine tree air-freshener, Freshy, who's been a frequent tormentor of the various shifts this week.

HEY🫵! Do you have a bit of change rattling around in your virtual pocket? We'd love to send you over to www.twitch.tv/desertbus who are closing out their 19th marathon, raising money for Child's Play Charity! Go wish them well and give if you can!❤️

An image of the Pieces of Eight CD and (separately) vinyl products now available for preorder in the store. The CD case bears the stylised skull image in a tarnished golden colour, while the two CDs themselves are a black with the text of the song titles spiralling around the middle. The vinyl cover also bears the stylised Po8 skull image, while the discs themselves are shown as a bright golden colour.

An image of the 3-part harmony songbook, showing the stylised skull image on the front cover (in tarnished gold) on a black background, and an inset image showing the inside of the book and back cover, as evidence that the book does, in fact, contain both song music and lyrics, as well as little bits of text about each of the songs written by members of the band!

A collage of all eight images for the pieces, assembled around the central completed coin. There's a lot to describe here, but the coin itself is a golden disc with a stylised skull in the middle, around which are arranged eight different images that depict the different titles and themes of the various pieces. There's a whale, a tavern, mountains, a cave, a lighthouse, tentacles.. and a couple of others that I'm not sure how to describe! The eight coin segments are shown on different backgrounds such as sand, a table with cards, a map, a pan, a cave, salt, blue scales, and purple tentacles.

A thumbnail image for the video Paddy Lay Back including the title text. It shows Robbie in a black/white/grey checked shirt lying down on some herringbone brickwork with painted yellow lines behind him. He's got a rather shocked expression on his face, mouth and eyes both wide open in surprise.

An image of the Pieces of Eight CD and (separately) vinyl products now available for preorder in the store. The CD case bears the stylised skull image in a tarnished golden colour, while the two CDs themselves are a black with the text of the song titles spiralling around the middle. The vinyl cover also bears the stylised Po8 skull image, while the discs themselves are shown as a bright golden colour.
