Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 2hFor years, I only had the Waxworks comp and Black Sea until, about 3 months ago, I watched these incredible interviews with Andy by Chan Hanspal and decided I needed to hear more. I've since bought English Settlement, Skylarking and the Big Express and they have absolutely blown my mind, Bob! 🤯youtube.comXTC - YouTube 110

Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Can't quite believe how good - forcing me to reassess my list of greatest British bands! 010
Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Thanks James! I'll try and pick it up when I've climbed out of my current XTC wormhole... but I think I might be sometime! 💉 110
Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I've been meaning to buy some more of his albums for the longest time. I have Konigsforst (which I find transendent!) but Pop and Zauberberg always seem to be the ones people talk about. Would you recommend, James? 110
Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I have some catching-up to do... expect some reposts very soon! 💨 110

Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Nice capture, Phil! The hopper is very typical of a Wybone (made in Barnsley), which is a brand I've never seen round our way. 110
Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Wearing a big coat again is one of my favourite things about wintertime, so I'd say it's a good start! 🤜🤛 110

Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I am going to savour every single millisecond of writing the next sentence. SHREWSBURY TOWN HAVE WON AWAY FROM HOME! 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🕺🕺🕺👯👯👯 #Salop 💙🧡 170

Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 02/10/2026They are always so enjoyable to watch, too. That second goal was 👌 010
Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Outstanding again. What was it, eight players of 22 or under in the starting line up? Practically unheard of at this level! Michael O'Neill is a top coach! 120

Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That's good enough for me, Fr Mo - I'll give it a whirl! 110
Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Nope. My mate Russ (who lives just up the road from you) says it's good but I need the weight of your opinion to help push me over the edge! 110
Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Hey @frmo.bsky.social! I've been walking through Greenfields again this afternoon and I have another question for you: have you ever bought a takeaway at Greenfield Spice, did you enjoy it, and would you recommend it? ✅ #Shrewsbury #Dining 🍽️ 321
Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yes, I remember watching his videos about his Parker Nitefly (I have one myself)! Another person I really enjoy watching is Chan Hanspal - he's a brilliant educator, an amazing player, and his interviews are 👌 010
Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Have you ever watched Ask Zac? It's largely Country/Tele orientated but is similarly becalming! 😌 110
Marc Petty @marcpetty.bsky.social · 28/09/2026One of my favourite YouTube guitar channels - the man is a magician, and I only wish he lived in Shropshire so he could work on my guitars! I was watching Col (Guitaristas) the other day, who had similar issues with an Epi (the Joan Jett model), which had some really shoddy workmanship 😬 110
