Did a search on the Franks and found your feed, been laughing my head off!

(I’ve seen them a few times, my Christmas treat this year is a weekend in Cork for their annual homecoming gig)

Looks a fantastic line up.

Caught up the Shelagh Delaney episode of @backlisted.bsky.social today - a wonderful listen (still getting over the ITV interview 😮)

This podcast is consistently excellent - warmth and wisdom and such breadth.

The accompanying Locklisted pod (via Patreon) is a bi-weekly treat. Thank you 🙏

Just ordered this album by Pete Astor, I saw The Loft earlier this year at a fantastic gig in Manchester.

And this has an excellent review by Sharon O’Connell in this month’s Uncut magazine

The Manfred Mann version of the first one is so powerful.

I think this is the first time I’ve done this, purchased this morning from Waterstones Stockport, started reading on the same day (or weekend) as the episode.

Well this is a bit depressing.
It’s getting harder and harder to make a living and it worries me.

NME Single of the Week this week in 1995, “Yes” by McAlmont and Butler. The peak of the ‘Britpop’ era for me.
