Check out #LucindaWilliams proudly wearing her Bob Dylan T shirt in Belfast last night. Woman’s got taste! Managed to grab a chat with Lou on the tour bus before her amazing gig at the limelight. Will share it on next wed nights radio show. Spread the word! @lucindawilliams.bsky.social

With #Sugar reforming and a Belfast gig announced for later in the year I’m having a bit of a bit of a #BobMould night on the @bbcradioulster show from 8 this evening. Sugar tracks old and new, solo Bob and some mighty #HuskerDu live tunes..Sound good? See you there then!

Top of the world Ma!….well top of the BBC at any rate which is close. With my old pal Kaz Hawkins and her French keyboardist Franck on the Ormeau Avenue roof earlier after recording a very fine session and chat. Listen out for it on the radio show soon. #kazhawkins @kazhawkinsmusic.bsky.social

Prime Bob Weir Grateful Dead tracks plus tunes from Bui’s Blackstaff Sessions recordings, Paul Brady covering the Rolling Stones and…well that’s all I can remember right now! Tune into BBC Radio Ulster & BBC Sounds from 8 for the full line up! 😂 #bobweir #gratefuldead

Bowie night tonight on the radio show. 8 to 10pm BBC Radio Ulster/BBC Sounds. 10 years gone but not forgotten. #Bowie #DavidBowie #BowieAtTheBBC

So the great Bob Weir has left the stage. A road warrior for more than sixty years and a rock solid rhythm guitarist. Will play some choice Grateful Dead tracks on Tuesday night’s show. What would you like to hear? #BobWeir #TheGreatfulDead

I’ve always loved #MarianneFaithfull but this beautiful doc from @juderogers.bsky.social on #BBCRadio4 stopped me in my tracks when I stumbled upon it driving home tonight. Thoughtful, revealing and deeply moving it’s a really gorgeous listen and well worth seeking out. #ParisWithMarianne

Paying tribute to the great Joe Ely on the radio show tonight from 8. #joeely

On January 10th it’ll be ten years since David Bowie left us. Seems mad doesn’t it. On Monday 12th I’ll be having a night on the radio show to celebrate the man and his music. So what’s your favourite Bowie tune guys? Let me know here. #davidbowie

This is a truly astonishing episode of a truly great 70s series. Seriously dark and diabolical goings on..the devil himself even weighs in at one point..allegedly! Lol. Mary Whitehouse less keen though. Her outrage played a big part in #TheOmegaFactor getting shelved.

This was a great show with instant playlist. How crazy to have been alive when music like this was actually in the charts. I well remember being at a pre social media school gate and someone announcing that The Jam had gone straight to No 1
