Thanks. Nicola. Was such a great night. I needed that

Blimey I needed that. Been too long. (Was only a year but felt like longer) Justin and Dean in a C13 church. What's not to like? Here's some customary bad photos from far away. Great as always to say "hello" to @kaptkopter.bsky.social too

Justin and Dean dwarfed by the massive gothic chancel arch which is bathed in orange light

More of the same. The pair are mid sing watched by a crowd from a packed nave.

That was a bit special. NMA's Justin Sullivan and Dean White in a church in Ashford. And lovely to catch up with @danherb10.bsky.social and a few others too. Roll on the Roundhouse

Want to feel old? There is a kid on Insta who is listening to a record a day from a music collection he inherited following the death of his Grandfather. Today he was listening to Doolittle by The Pixies. You're welcome

I thought it tasted like the 0% Leffe. Had a similar bitter/chemical after taste

Lovely. Love the new forest. We're off there in a couple of weeks. Any sign of the pigs?

Should be a good night. Set list from last night looks excellent

Excellent. I am. I'll see you there later?

Dyslexia is great. I originally read that as "Lantern Beavers" which is probably a completely different narrative

Great price but I thought it was a bit disappointing

Are those in stock now? Could see them when in store last week

Yeah. Ok for £1.49 but I think I'll stick to paying a bit more for better beers

Dan Herbert @danherb10.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Hmmm...not bad, but not great. Tastes a bit chemically if anything.

Treated myself to some Belhaven Black too

A can of Belhaven Black stout stands next to a beer glass with a poured pint of the stout. A engraving of a ram can be seen on the glass

Lidl branching out into the world of Belgium beer @paulblinkhorn.bsky.social @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social? For £1.49 a bottle I thought it was worth a punt
