Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Our doctors' surgery has perky local radio playing in the waiting rooms, and this morning I enjoyed hearing New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle in a room full of posters about STIs. 100

Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Jesus wept, Instagram, I'm posting a short reel about some book events not the Three Colours trilogy. Hurry the fuck up. 020
Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 21/09/2026V good it is too. Love me a bit of Slightly Foxed. 110
Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I'm not much one for the 'things were much better before the internet, we played out all day with hoops and sticks' schtick but I'm profoundly grateful that my parents had no idea where I was (even which city I was in), what I was doing and who I was doing it with, for weeks at a time. 000

Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Dour indeed. I thought it was just that people hated my jokes; they only seem to like it when I'm sincere or sincerely self-promoting. Or maybe my jokes are shit. It could be that. 010

Reposted by Jon WoolcottTom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 06/09/2026"I recalled now the boyhood thrill of climbing the ladder and peering through the window into the abysmal depth of the bull's eyes." Highly recommended. Especially if you like Alan Garner, elegiac social history or the East Midlands. @littletollerbooks.bsky.social 0398
Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 28/08/2026This is a fabulous essay about cuckoos, family and more. Honoured to publish it. 051
Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Me again, rabbiting on about My book. A few events this autumn, would be lovely to see you (all of you) there. Tickets from the venues or via link in my bio. 062
Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Not sure that set up is quite what we'd do now, safety wise... 100

Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 24/08/2026It's much better than Catcher in the Rye (says the writer trying to get hounded out of publishing). 100
Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 24/08/2026It's top notch and made me wonder too how Keith I have become. 000

Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I will buy this book immediately. Armitage has similar tales in Walking Away. I could now add a few of my own. 010
Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Reminds me of something from The Old Place from an author who found his book in a charity shop and found it inscribed 'To mum and dad'. 160

Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 18/08/2026In a very 'me on Bluesky' way I'm having 2 separate conversations about how underrated Lovesexy by Prince is, and the diarist Francis Kilvert. 050
Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Indeed. Still a great album. I vaguely remember reading some sniffy reviews at the time. I guess, how really do you follow that run of previous albums? BUT IT'S GOT ALPHABET STREET ON IT. 010
Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Oh are you? That's the place of his dreams. Hiraeth and all that. I thought my conclusions might offend some Kilvert fans... 200
Jon Woolcott @jonwoolcott.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I did not know that. I bought it on vinyl, not because I was some audio purist, but because I am a late adopter. Just dug it out, it's split into tracks. Maybe that was for DJs specifically? 100
