A gardening update: Past month-&-a-half, I've been 'hacking away' at a Black Bamboo clump. Tallest cane was 15 feet, & the clump approx 2.5 x 2.5 feet! Anyway, this morning, I finally managed to remove the last remaining bit of root. Celebrating now with a cuppa & a Digestive biscuit. #blackbamboo

There's nothing quite like a private party/house gig! Especially when it's on an afternoon...& in Lincolnshire! #housegig #privateparty #LincolnshireWolds #lincolnshire #GrahamGrahamBeck

When brushes used to be PROPER brushes! There appears to be one for every occaision. (I seem to have inherited my Mum's old brush, in it's box - it'll be used, indoors on the banister, of course.) #midcentury #1950s #handbrush #madetolast #madeinengland

Fabulous night at Wrecking Ball, Hull, supporting the always lovely Tom Robinson (& Adam Phillips). Great appreciative audience, too, for my 'stripped down' set - no stage props!...apart from Action Man with a giraffe's head, of course. Well, I had to, didn't I. #gig #lastnight #tomrobinson #hull

Shade, movement & sound. What more could you want from a garden plant? The Musa Bajoo (Banana Plant), in the backgarden, Hull.

Everything is going bananas in the back garden...including the Bananas! (Photos taken just before 9:00am.) #homegrown #fruitandveg #flowers #bananaplant #hull

39 seconds of recorded tape (1976), from when I was an art student in Hull. Experimental sound for an installation. There are numerous reels of tape of this stuff. Some of it might resurface in the future. (Sound on.) #TapeRecorder #tapes #experimental #wheniwasyoung #hull

Here's the lineup for The Station venue (at Nailed it - Belper Music Festival), this Sat. 11th July. GGB's 4:00pm perfomance will contain songs about flying saucers, a multi-legged chicken, a joke shop & other silliness. Stay cool! #belper #derbyshire #musicfestival #performance #GrahamGrahamBeck

Saturday (11th July) it's Nailed it - Belper Music Festival, in wonderful N. Derbyshire! GGB will 'take to the stage' at The Railway venue, 4:00pm. There will be a 40-minute 'fiery set' (it says here)! You have been warned!! #MusicFestival #nailedit #belper #derbyshire #GrahamGrahamBeck

Two outdoor views, taken this morning. It seems that even supermarket trolleys can't cope with this heat. (Plant is the 'Innula Hookeri', showing the flower head unfurling.) #outdoors #outdoorview #shoppingtrolley #plants #hull

Slightly cooler weather (thankfully) for yesterday's Avenues Open Gardens. A busy afternoon in our garden. Plenty of chat. Nice comments. Familiar faces. Total strangers. Well worth taking part in this annual event. More gardens open next Sunday. Thanks all. #opengardens #Hull

Looking decidedly tropical this evening in the back garden (8:27pm). #backgarden #sunsetting #earlyevening #tropical #hull

Graham Graham Beck @gragrabeck.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

This Sunday (28th) it's the Avenues Open Gardens, in Hull. Our garden, on Marlborough Avenue, will be open from 1:00-5:00pm. Loads of other gardens to see, too. We'll be on hand (& foot) for a chat, with possibly a cuppa & biscuit - if you're lucky. (Back garden photo taken 2 days ago.) #opengardens

Taken at 9:57pm this evening (just after sunset, looking towards the Yorkshire Wolds) - the day before the longest day. Lovely! #sunset #landscape #colours #hull #yorkshirewolds

Banana Plant Update: the (inedible) Bananas are getting bigger, as are the other plants. The bees love the sap eminating from the flower. #bananaplant #bananas #growth #backgarden #hull

A Drip in the fridge. Just what you need for hot days like today (25 degrees, real feel 27 degrees). #drip #fridge #water #refreshingdrinks #hull

Strawberries (before the slugs could get at them). They have now been consumed, along with our first raspberries of the season (in Greek Yoghurt). Delicious is a word that comes to mine. Humans 1. Slugs 0. #strawberries #raspberries #homegrown #hull #eastyorkshire

This is 'Self-portrait' by Richard B Hall. I was at Hull Regional College Of Art with Richard, back in the 1970s. I never thought I'd be immortalised in one of his paintings! (I'm just behind his head, wearing a giraffe hat.) Life's a funny thing, but we all keep going, doing our own thing.

4 photos from ReKINDle Festival 2026, North Lincolnshire, yesterday. Friendly, cloudy, sunny & breezy. A customised GGB t-shirt...& I particulary liked the sign by the compostable toilets (behind the main stage) - 'Bands unloading'. Very apt. #musicfestival #northlincolnshire #outdoorlife

Banana Plant update: 3 days after the last photos. The flower is getting fuller. The Bananas are quite evident (bigger than last year). #bananaplants #bananas #floweringplants #backgarden #hull

Last weekend's photos of GGB (from The King William VI stage, at Cottingham SpringFest Music Festival). The first must be a 'photo of the day'! #musicfestival #cottingham #quirky #surreal #GrahamGrahamBeck

What a difference a day makes! The Banana Plants are going bananas!! One is flowering this year (so far, as there were four last year) - pics 1 & 2 today, 3 & 4 yesterday. #bananaplants #floweringplants #bananas #goodweather #hull

More silliness from GGB @ King William VI (Martha's Bar stage, 4:00pm) tomorrow (Sunday)! Cottingham Springfest Music Festival. He's looking a bit like a comedy tribute act of Sparks! Be there. Entertainment?...What do you expect, it's free! #cottingham #musicfestival #quirky #GrahamGrahamBeck

Coincidence? I'm currently performing a 'Euro Pop' version of my song, 'Fig Roll Overkill', only to find out that Look Mum No Computer's Eurovision entry features dancers with TV heads. Wearing a box on your head doesn't guarantee success. I should know! #cardboard #Eurovision #GrahamGrahamBeck
