Excellent evening entertained & made to think by the ever-superb #StewartLee at #SwanseaGrandTheatre. And the werewolf appeared! (Maybe some tickets left for tmrw here… *snap* them up!)
In my work I’ve published a lot over the years but this short entry in the just published - huge & highly recommended! - Billy Bragg A People’s History - made me very very pleased! Yep, been ‘with’ Mr Bragg since Christmas 1983! 😊

What amazing evening yesterday - 5+ hrs! - with Life & Songs of #MartinCarthy presented by so many famous names. Only Martin’s immense contribution to folk & skill of #JonWilkes & team could get so many top artists together - too many to list! Just few in this ‘pub stage’ picture
Time to visit mighty #NationalGallery today & see outstanding #Millet exhibition (free! But only on until 19 Oct) before my evening wrapped up in all things #MartinCarthy at #EarthTheatre this evening. #JonWilks #BillyBragg et al! :-)

Farrige gives the impression he doesn’t trust scientists, but was willing to believe a taxi driver in Buckinghamshire, that Sharia Law is coming to Britain.

This guy wants to be PM?! You must be joking!

Nice one @billybragg.bsky.social 👏 #bbcqt

Grabbing brekko at Coventry station on my way back from Question Time. Didn’t expect to see this stirring evocation of the defeat of fascism adorning the wall of Coffee #1 #AllYouFascistsBoundToLose
Caught up with another outstanding #LiveToYourLivingRoom concert tonight by the amazing @younguns.bsky.social Thanks all round! :-))

Paul & I thoroughly enjoyed mighty gig by mighty #BlindRiverScare at #RailwayInn this afternoon! Cold when out the sun but they still rocked! Or ‘countried’? Great stuff!
For the British #RobbJohnson… ;-)
Superb evening yesterday listening & watching #LeonRosselson & @robbjohnson.bsky.social #LiveToYourLivingRoom What a remarkable musical life Leon has led & still so sharp & clued up with politics! Robb, of course, a natural to pair with him! Thanks both & #LiveToYourLivingRoom for putting them on!
Whoops! Sorry! All my best… :-)

Could not stay until end - getting bus home but also ‘cos it was v cold & I had no warm coat… but great few hours at #PontardaweBeerFest #PontardaweInn with, yes, fine beer, music & company! Highlight for me: #BoatbarToHamburg
Certainly don’t endorse killing of #CharlieKirk but wonder how many suffered at various levels of hurt in response to the gruesome nonsense he spouted…
Had moving afternoon #ExeterUniversity remembering #HenryBuller late Dept #Geography. Saw fine folks. Great family here too. To lose him 2yrs ago horrible shock but remembered him so positively today. Thanks all who arranged esp Nicola for heading it up. 🙂 #RuralGeography #AnimalGeographies
Here’s a quick shout out to anyone liking fine ale to #CAMRA multi award winning #SirWilliamPeel pub sandy in #Sandy. Super enthusiastic landlord & some mighty fine ales! Sadly, though, I won’t be there for imminent beer festival. Check it out! See also sirwilliampeelsandy.co.uk

Outstanding live gig in the amazing #HoxtonHall tonight by the amazing #IanNoe! So much great music around… just go out & enjoy it! And Ian more than ably supported by excellent #SammyHarrison! Cheers both (& Ian’s band of course)!
Back to that London today on my week off, to visit stepmum tmrw & #IanNoe concert. But today a walk around the capital’s ’centre’, which got me couple good pics, & fab #EdwardBurra exhibition in #TateBritain!
Okay, it may be Autumn now (brrr..) but mighty #Railway in #UpperKillay still have live music at weekends! So, walked up today in grim rain for another fine 2 hours of music… Cheers!
(And it filled up big time when the rain stopped!)
Another full day fantastic music at #moseleyfestival. Rain tried to spoil it again but less successful than yesterday! Recommend this festival big time. All ace but must note #LisaONeill for someone ace I’ve somehow missed before & #MercuryRev for being amazing still! Got up the front for them!! ;-)
A full day - 11 hours! - of fantastic music at #moseleyfestival from 13 diverse acts. Honestly loved them all - less welcome was the rain! - but the fantastic #fatherjohnmisty certainly merited the headline slot! :-))
Although our fine #Geography annual RGS-IBG conference didn’t finish until 6.30 so I couldn’t catch much at #MoseleyFestival today, #Waterboys headliners were more than up to it. Excellent stuff!!
Most excellent #SwanseaCamra evening with mighty beer ably supported by ace music by #CurrantsBand & most of all by such a great mixed group of positive people! There IS hope for this world… Thanks, I need that!!
