I like it. But then I’m a sucker for any musical bio pic. From The Great Caruso to Song of Norway, bring em on!

Pleased to be quoted in the London Evening Standard on the new plaque for #RodStewart at Twickenham Station. If you’re heading down Twickenham way to see it, make sure to call in at Eel Pie Island Museum & Eel Pie Records www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

#NowPlaying I seem to remember this LP met with a few sniffy reviews in 2022. I thought it was a sweet record and I warmed to it immediately. And right now it’s exactly how I want to hear the songs of Brian Wilson. Simple, stripped-down & devotional cover versions. #sheandhim #brianwilson

And so in a giddy, wrist-flapping tizz I bought tix for The Waterboys at Roundhouse… only to realise that I’ve got a long-standing job that night. Delighted to pass tix on to 17 year old daughter - same age as me when I first bought This Is The Sea. Is that the circle of life of which they speak?

Leaving Finchley, where early 18th Century thief Jack Sheppard once took refuge following one of his famous jail breaks, heading for St Giles where his criminal legend was born… I’m leading The Beggar’s Opera #walkingtour Theatre history, music history & true crime, an unco blend for the Sabbath day

What did we get up to this morning? We brought down the govt., protested a war, decriminalised homosexuality, watched The Avengers, tuned in to Radio Caroline, visited Groovy Bob & met Twiggy.

Sound & vision check for tonight’s Monday Night #MusicHistory Club on Zoom. Papa’s got a brand new headset! Hoping the wires don’t curtail my trademark dance moves 🕺 Tonight we’re plunging into the depths of 18th Century London to take a look at The Beggar’s Opera and the origins of #musicaltheatre

An unusual location… I’m ostensibly on a “day off” & night away in East Sussex, but couldn’t resist a snap of Lewes Prison where Mick Jagger was held on remand, with art dealer Robert Fraser on 28 June 1967 following the Redlands bust of February that year. There’s ALWAYS a music history location

2/2… on being labelled a Dylan clone (pic 3). There’s a super smashing full-page pin-up of dreamy Bob himself (pic 2, swoon!) & a piece about fans screaming with a sidebar (pic 4) about all the old squares your Aged P used to scream for in the olden days. #bobdylan #donovan #musichistory #lovemusic

One of the great privileges of being a #tourguide is getting to play a part in making the special occasions of life that bit more memorable. Congrats to James on his forthcoming marriage & thanks for joining me with his brilliant, music-mad mates on a Rock’n’Roll London stag-do tour of Soho!

A cold beer, apple blossom in the garden, cherry blossom on the way, I led a really enjoyable #walkingtour for a music-mad stag party this afternoon, #Hibs beat Rangers 2-0 & I finally finished phasing-out my #Twitter account by deleting it. A good day. Sending good vibes to all #HandsOff protesters

#NowPlaying A yella Sun record… the new #Waterboys LP, a concept album/oratorio on the life of Dennis Hopper is ambitious, nuanced & riveting. Full of absolute bangers. Great storytelling. Guest appearances from #FionaApple & #BruceSpringsteen Can’t wait to see them at The Roundhouse in June

Doing something today that I haven’t done since I was 19… buying a Waterboys LP on release day. From Room To Roam on it’s been cassette & CD. Bringing it all back home. It’s been a wild ride and I’ve loved every minute. Thanks @mickpuck.bsky.social 👏 #waterboys
