I was lucky to be asked to take part in the Halifax Town festival having a conversation with @stuartmaconie.bsky.social about his Beatles book With a Little Help From Their Friends. Mr Maconie was a lovely man, generous with his time. We could’ve listened to his insights on the Beatles all day.

Lots of great events in the Town festival in Halifax. These are my top tips. I’m hosting @stuartmaconie.bsky.social Book now!

Anyone hear Live and Let Die?

Doing a bit of homework. I thought I knew the Beatles world. I was wrong. @stuartmaconie.bsky.social new book is a must read.

Bit of half term enjoyment and homework. Think you know everything about the Beatles? No you don’t.

My favourite music writer of recent years doesn’t disappoint with this collection of encounters with aging rock stars. Insightful but also occasionally troubling.

One of the best novels I’ve read in a while, made even better as it reads like an early Belle and Sebastian song

Have I said how much I enjoyed Bug Club at Grayston Unity in Halifax last night? If not.. they were fantastic

Really enjoyed this. I do hope John Hume is remembered.
