That's very kind of you! 😊

I do have about nine minutes of 'Everything Flows' from this show, during which Brendan and Norman swapped instruments. Absolutely bonkers (and brilliant, of course). 😎

Paul Kindred @paulkindred.bsky.social · 15h

Not even side 4 of 'Some Time in New York City'? To be clear I am not suggesting this is essential listening in any way! 😎

I'm louder than Norman in parts of this video, sorry. @durutti74.bsky.social will confirm this is a perennial problem if you let me accompany you to see the Fannies! 🤦‍♂️🤣

You're all mad. It has to be a 15 minute version of Broken, surely?!

Who is playing Norman? That's my main question. I'll have more time on my hands soon (cough, cough)... 🤣

Our Lips Are Sealed - Fun Boy Three.

As I promised two days ago, one of the greatest songs ever. An extraordinary view from the inside of a doomed love affair.

RIP Terry, thanks for everything. 🙏

Today's been a good day so far! 😎

This evil nonsense happened to me on Ticketmaster for McCartney last year. Unconscionable. Avoided them this morning and was very, very lucky on GigsAndTours instead. Sorry, no consolation I realise - the point is, I know how you feel.

There’s a £1 idea that could save small music venues. Is Live Nation holding it back?

Artists including Coldplay and Katy Perry have got behind a plan to fund small venues from big gigs – but owners say that without Live Nation on board, it could fail

I NEVER want to hear that. Especially as the perfect cover of this song already exists (RIP Josh and Michael, sigh...):

(Just Like) Starting Over - @johnlennonofficial.bsky.social

It's Johnny's birthday.

I fell for the Beatles in 1978, aged 12, via an old reel tape my uncle had made. In 1980 I loved this - before my first experience of real, profound sadness.
