#ArtistFaveNonAlbumSingles #MusicChallenge Day 8 Roll Over Lay Down (Live) | Status Quo (1975) Recorded at The Kursaal, Southend. Released as A-side on Live EP against management’s better judgement, reaching #9 in the UK charts. A big influence on my love of live music! youtu.be/vN1WoBMMENM?...

Sorry I missed you, Phil. It was great wasn’t it? What a way to sign off, and the addition of Hobart Paving was an unexpected, lovely surprise. It was great to catch up with @therichastill.bsky.social - let me know Richard if you’d like me to post your setlist pic! 👍😀 #SaintEtienne

Cambridge. Final date of the final UK tour by Saint Etienne. A lovely night for it 🌅 @bobpetesarah.bsky.social

My small pictorial offering of a handful of the albums I discovered through Richard’s polls. Thank you @richards7370.bsky.social #SirRichardShaw

I’ve been pounding the streets of London Theatreland, acting as my daughter’s wingman as she spreads the word and gets her CV / Resume out there. Fascinating seeking out all the stage doors. Day Two this week step count is through the roof! #Costume&Wardrobe #wardrobeassistant #dresser #musicsky

A few pics from Saint Etienne at the Roundhouse. A beautiful set, something for everyone. A flyer circulated at the gig tonight suggests it’s farewell for now, but not goodbye…but the last full UK & Ireland tour for sure. If it is goodbye, they are going out on a high.

Wandered past The Crown in Birmingham last weekend, site of Black Sabbath’s first gig. Sad to see it still closed. For 12 years!

Joyous. Just joyous. @sparksofficial.bsky.social at Southend Cliffs Pavilion, August 26th 2026.

Graham🎶 @grayhabcd.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

At The Shacklewell Arms to catch Carson McHone very ably supported by Birds Flying Backwards. The door tribute and wall-to-wall Dolly playlist in the bar really struck the right note. Nicely done. RIP Dolly, thank you for the music.
