Monday 9th March 2020. Brittany Howard singing 'Stay High' is a vibe (as I imagine cool people to say). A balls-out joyous celebration of life and love. Just the tonic when the Rapture is about to hit. An anthem for our times. 🎶🖤🎸

Marie Franc were magical at The Grayston Unity tonight. Excellent support from Groves, too. Remember to support grassroots music venues. Use it or lose it. 🎶🖤 ##lovelivemusic #musicmatters #leavethelighton

My lasting memory of Norma Waterson in performance, that astonishingly powerful, warm, and expressive voice aside, was the way she delivered each song with her whole body and spirit. Arms opened wide, she lived each word and moment.
Three years gone. The O.G. The GOAT. The Mighty Oak. 🧡

When you just know what the answer is going to be, but still have to ask the question. 😆

There was time for a little trip down memory lane this evening at The Victoria Theatre as Embrace's Danny McNamara offered his reflections on the salubrious nightlife of late-80s/early-90s Halifax. 😆

Great show by the McNamara boys and the rest of the band at The Victoria Theatre this evening. Here's the usual 90-second clip of my personal Embrace favourite - 'Come Back To What You Know'. 🎶❤️

Hometown gig for the other Halifax McNamara boys. 🎶❤️ @embrace_band_official

I've totally stolen this precious clip of Dolly, Emmylou, and Linda harmonising effortlessly from another page, but in my defence, I just wanted to share something beautiful (albeit a tad melancholic). 🎶🖤

Marie Franc is definitely an artist (I'm not sure if it's the name of the band or the singer) I'll be looking out for in the future. They all certainly impressed The Grayston Unity crowd last night. Sublime and original. 🎶🖤🩶 @thegraystonunity.bsky.social @mariefrancmusic

Beans On Toast spreading joy and common sense of a sunday evening at The Grayston Unity is a tonic at the end of a peculiarly stressful weekend. 🎶🧡 #musicmatters #thewaronwar #Halifax #thegraystonunity

I had a little trip to West Yorkshire's own Royston Vasey last night for alcohol and conversation, and the Halifax Minster campanologists were giving it large. Sláinte 🍻 #Todmorden
