And the band played on. Big credit to Don't Worry for putting on a sterling "pre-match" set at @theoddies.bsky.social despite the game being postponed @specialistsubject.bsky.social

Thanks to Don't Worry for agreeing to play Malcolmses at the last minute. They were great - check out their new album. @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social @theoddies.bsky.social youtu.be/uQbR-vqrxZY

@fcunitedmcr.bsky.social Even though the match is off, @theoddies.bsky.social is still on. People can enter through the side door. Band are still playing. Please RT.

Good and bad news... games off but... Malcolms is still on! Band is still playing, Pies are ready, if you're on your way don't turn round, come on down there's still entertainment, beer and pies. Entrance is through the doors under the SMRE.

Breaking news(!) .... at 13:50ish, a Q&A with James Quinn about this year’s JB Shorts event. James is well known for his expert, unbiased commentary on FCUM Radio and his roles in Corrie, Hollyoaks, Apostasy, Safe, Doctor Who, Gentleman Jack, Doctors and more... plus, we have Vegan Banana muffins!

Poster for Don't Worry band.

Don't Worry, they're playing at Malcolmses today under the SMRE, get yourself to that football ground...

📣 Public service announcement!

Mark Beesley has a message to share with reds everywhere ahead of our league game against Rushall Olympic at Broadhurst Park today 🏡

See you there!👋

#WeAreStrongerUnited

But… we also have a new addition. As we’re dead woke, we’ve been feeling guilty about having nothing in for the vegans. So, we’ll have the super-spicy Shin Cup and not quite as spicy Soon noodle cups available at an eye-watering £1.50.

Doors 13.00. Baz lights up the room 13:50ish before Don’t Worry

We do, as always, have beer. The guest cask is ‘Bruce’ from Bingley Brewery, not an insipid Australian lager, but a ‘5% hazy NEIPA’. Whatever that is. But it sounds delicious. Food will be the always welcome Twin Gods of Pies, Tater Hash and cheese and onion.

They’ve very kindly agreed to play us a set on Saturday afternoon. Recording for the Bristol-based DIY Punk Label, Specialist Subject Records (and this is punk in its best, broadest sense), they have an LP out, ‘Idealism’, which they’ll be bringing with them and from which they’ll be playing songs.

So, here we are again, again, again. (But you are all allowed some B&Q time next Saturday).

Our act today, Don’t Worry, is a band from Harlow, Essex, who are finishing their current UK tour at The Talleyrand on Saturday night...... (read on)

No Peeling playing yesterday at @theoddies.bsky.social. @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social youtu.be/ettC_WukTPY

We're looking forward to hosting No Peeling tomorrow! ⚽🎵

Quick heads up on the delights we have on offer ahead of tomorrow's big FA Cup match, tap the photos in the thread...

There's also a fantastic band on at @theoddies.bsky.social No Peeling. An egg punk band from Nottingham. Course You Can Malcolm is free once you get in the ground. Just head for the arse end of the SMRE.

SAF-S2E singing songs from his new album, Vanta Blues, with music by DJ Feaz at FC United of Manchester's Course You Can Malcolm on 6th September 2025. @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social @theoddies.bsky.social youtu.be/RW3rAik6O4U

Get yourself to that football ground, as ever all welcome, even Meggies (a Cleethorpian according to Google), no borders here.

Award-winning artist, poet, and Manc hip-hop heavyweight Safwat Elsenossi aka SAF-S2E, will be performing tracks from their recently release ‘Vanta Blues’. Like our MC from last month (Pique Roscoe), SAF is a big RED and is very excited about playing for us at FC. Stage time 2 PM.

SAF-S2E will be performing on the Caring Stage alongside musical partner, Feaz. I'd say 'laying down some beats' but that would make me sound like a Six Music Dad. And that's my wife's job. Award-winning artist, poet, and Manc hip-hop heavyweight Safwat Elsenossi aka SAF-S2E.....

So. As you all know, we usually have a double-header at CYCM, have done for years, of a spoken word act, maybe a comic, maybe a thesp, maybe a poet. And then we have a musical act. Delighted to let you know that tomorrow we have the cultural equivalent of a 'spork'.....

Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank.

A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring.

We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down.

Make sure that the truth will out.

Stunning. Here's Louise's set from her March appearance at Course You Can Malcolm. And we're delighted to reveal she'll be with us again in a week's time. More details soon. youtu.be/QPAIu9Qo1xU?...
