New ‘banjo’. Plays and sounds amazing. Couldn’t be happier and now going through the full 12-string repertoire - any suggestions?

Is there any truth in what is being reported that a potential peace process for the Ukraine/Russia war was stymied a couple of years ago by the USA and the UK (via Boris Johnson) telling Zelensky that it suited the USA and the Western Allies to continue the war, because it would weaken Russia?

Such a melancholy day, so feels right to give this classic a spin. #vinyl

Anne Wilson, surely one of the greatest rock voices of all time? #Heart #Vinyl

I’m looking for your recommendations for jazz guitar albums. Just started to dip my toe into the world of jazz vinyl and, as a guitarist myself, I’d like to explore some really good guitar-based stuff. Thanks #vinyl #jazz #jazzguitar

Still my big teenage crush. What a talent she was, and still is. Also, first outing for my new glass prism vinyl weight.

Our new Labour Government is way better than the Tories (I’d rather have a boring, steady Starmer than a Tory psychodrama) BUT with a majority of 170, I really hope they can be both bolder and more imaginative with their policies in 2025 than how they have started. #Labour #Austerity

Acquired one of these over Christmas. Can’t wait to try it out on my Project turntable. Apparently, there is a way of setting-up a small LED light to shine through it. Has anyone tried that? #vinyl #pro-ject #pinkfloyd

Finally managed to find a good copy of this classic album.

Can anyone recommend one or two jazz vinyl albums as an introduction to the best of that genre that I should purchase? #vinylcollecting #jazz

Just acquired this great album. Still sounds fresh.

My go-to saltwater fly for UK Sea Bass: Ahrex SA280 Minnow s.1 with stacked EP fibres, pearl flashabou lateral line and red floss for gills.

If you are a socialist and support people, not greedy billionaires, mega corporations and their ever increasing profits which are stolen from you.

I’ve started reading a lot of books this year, but have not finished them all (got bored with quite a few - this happens more often as I get older - anyone else suffer from this?). I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. Hoping that Stephen King chooses to join us on this platform soon.

As my saltwater fly fishing season comes to an end (until next Spring) it seems fitting to mark what has been a great year, full of beautiful places visited and friendships strengthened, with my favourite photo taken at dawn in Chichester Harbour.

Hi Bluesky - I’ve just deleted X and have come over here to be part of a less stressful and better informed platform. Fly fishing, books and music are the things that really fuel my soul.
