In three weeks today I start a tour with the amazing @ccampbellmusic.bsky.social and the delicious @dannygruff.bsky.social -

Tickets are pay what you want, we don’t want a ticket price to stop anyone being able to enjoy live music.

Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Newcastle and Oxford.

I think Joe said bottle opener and I said vegetable steamer….

Thanks Clair!

Thanks mate

Thanks Dr. K

I remember the interview well. @brucey0ne.bsky.social hit us with the big question.. if you could replace your arm with kitchen implement what would it be?

Turned out I'd been recommended by @davegilyeat.bsky.social to be the track of the week and @brucey0ne.bsky.social played it. Which was a real blast from the past. Sophie interview my old band back in 2009 on 107.9fm...

This has really made my day! Thank you both.

Well today was a fun one. Woke up late after a very late gig last night in London and had an email from the guy who fitted the carpet in my studio telling me he just heard me on BBC Radio Oxford.

I asked a couple of questions and he said 8.45am on his way to work, off I went to BBC Sounds.

Wait… something crazy just happened… I think. Brb

Thanks Jen!

Now you have to take the bins out for every penalty shoot out

I’m now older than John Lennon was when he was shot dead.

16 Sunsets History Podcast · Fortnightly series ·

I grew up reading everything I could about Project Apollo. But I lived through the Shuttle program. #16Sunsets by the original #13MinutestotheMoon team: @andrewl-b.bsky.social, @scirad.bsky.social + @davejgiles.bsky.social
& @richardcourtice.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

It really is!

Thanks So Much to Dave Giles! 👍

The Space Shuttle podcast by Kevin Fong is called:
“16 Sunsets”

(10 episodes)
Premiered November 2024 and is now complete.

(Kevin Fong and his team did the amazing 1st two seasons of 13 Minutes to the Moon on Apollo)

(Screen grab from my Overcast podcast app.)

Entirely separate

The folks behind season 1 and 2 aren’t involved with season 3. They did their own shuttle podcast called 16 Sunsets. Not sure who is producing season 3 of 13 minutes but it’s not the same team at all. BBC owned the name of the podcast.

More announcements soon :)

Also doing an afternoon gig in September supporting Koo Koo in Kingston.

Tickets here: good-show.co.uk/events/2478

New tour announcement for Oct/Nov: Leeds, Manchester, Oxford, Newcastle, Glasgow and Birmingham. Playing with @ccampbellmusic.bsky.social and @dannygruff.bsky.social

Tickets already flying:

1am updating gig listings with unannounced gigs because the venues want a ticket link.. always feels a bit naughty - what if people find out?

Leeds last night was delightful. Manchester tonight has just sold out :)

More gigs announced soon!

So sad to hear about Brian Wilson. Playing my Beach Boys records when I get home.

There are so many other great book series and film franchises out there which don’t put money into the pocket of someone who is actively targeting my friends and people like my friends.
