Only two weeks to go until The Wonder Stuff headline the @shiiineon.bsky.social 10th Anniversary special. Here’s a pic I took of the wonderful Milo playing his Gretsch White Falcon acoustic during a show for a full house at Shiiine On last November… 😉

Paul has been the singer with The Undertones for 25 years now and not only is he an excellent frontman but also a thoroughly decent gent… as you can see from this pic he was only happy to help when someone wanted to get directions to the toilets 😂

#TBT Billy Duffy, The Cult 1984
From my recent scanning of negatives here’s one of my unseen photos of BD taken at The Leadmill in Sheffield.
Its similar to one I’ve shared before but, in this angle, you can see the setlist. I’ve also added a cropped in close version 💙

Wayne Hussey with his lovely Schecter 12 Sting semi acoustic creating the distinctive guitar sound for The Mission. I took this one at The Ritz in Manchester in 2023 at one of the final shows of their epic Deja Vu tour.

“We’re getting the band back together…”
Zac is an amazing tattoo artist here in North Wales and when he told me he was getting his old band The Spitting Pips back together I was really happy to shoot some pics of the guys.

“Any day of the week, when Saturday comes”…
The Undertones captured in full swing last in Liverpool last year. Right from my Teenage (Kicks) years in the late 70s I’ve continued to see them live… here’s to adding 2025 to that list!!!
