Fabulous Saturday night seeing The Lottery Winners in Llandudno with @jamescurran.bsky.social. A really wonderful, emotional, heart warming gig for so many reasons. They really are such a unique live band and such kind, lovely people.

This has to be up there in terms of simply gloriously indie pop songs. Back in the day loved this song and 30 years on it still makes me smile.

Second gig of weekend and An Evening in Liverpool with Suzanne Vega. (Great name for a live release...) Listening to her debut LP in 80's opened my musical taste and 40 years on songs from that album still just have that awe around them. Simply perfect performer.

First night completed of a weekend of gigs. The wonderful Lizzie Esau starting the weekend with all the energy to make a wet Friday in Manchester come alive.

Loved watching this busy, very clever squirrel burying stuff in the ground then covering up the evidence before making a run for it.

One always to turn up loud and sing and shout to.
On this day in 1995 #60FtDolls released the single Pig Valentine.
The bands third single, it reached number 86 in the UK singles chart and was their first top 100 charting release.
One of their best songs!

A night out in New Century Hall, in Manchester with Idlewild. A near perfect set with all the classics and a good few from the new album. Even converted @theresa-c.bsky.social possibly....

I'm suspecting this day in 1996 was an expensive day for me. As well as this classic, Kevin Carter by Manics, If you don't want me to destroy you by the Super Furries, the Nirvana live album and You're gorgeous by Babybird all released on this dat
On this day in 1996, #Catatonia released their debut studio album, Way Beyond Blue.
In at number 40 in the UK album chart, it was seen a bit of a compilation as some of the tracks had appeared as B sides on earlier singles/EP's.
Still a great album!

Live music, just can't beat it to give you hope. A night with @ianprowse.bsky.social with the talented support of Laura, Fiona and Chris. Slightly stripped back set in St Michael's Church made the perfect evening, cracking songs, superb musicans, top venue and a loving audience.
