Happy birthday to Mark Day. Enjoy his stellar guitar playing on this clip of Performance by Happy Mondays, filmed for The Other Side of Midnight in 1988. Watch the full video including Tony Wilson's intro at youtu.be/cZvdXEjtl4c

Another gem from HMHB this year

He could talk fairly well though he couldn’t pronounce the letter B
I said, “That’s OK lad. It makes life much easier for me.”
He said his name was Gary
I said: “Do you mean Barry?”
He said: “Yeah”

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains.

Great hike around Polhill and Shoreham in Kent today.
Home to #SamuelPalmer
It doesn’t have the dramatic landscapes of the Lakes or Dales but it’s a lovely destination and only 20 minutes from home.

Last day in the #EdenValley so packed a fair bit in today. Hiked up to #HighCupNick in the morning and then walked around the Upper Eden in the afternoon. A sprinkling of snow and brilliant clear sunshine helped amplify the sublime views. #WildBoarFell and the #Blencathra range omnivisible.

Almost pulled off a dry walk along #Hadrian’sWall today despite the ominous forecast. Almost. Got caught in a downpour of biblical proportions towards the end of the walk and now doing my best to dry out with cup of tea next to the fire.

Rest easy #Mani
Stood behind him at Gatwick check-in in 2007. Wasn’t sure if he’d appreciate a fan boy moment so I played it super cool

“Excuse me, my daughter would like to say hello, she’s a big fan of your music”.

He seemed genuinely thrilled that he’d been recognised and was happy to chat.

Busy day yesterday.

Tranmere away at Swindon followed by Field Music at Islington Assembly Halls. Definitely enjoyed the music more than the football 😫
