Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The Indestructibles playing at Barrow Underground Music Society last night. Been quite a while since a punk band last played in my local area 🙂 120
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If they stick with this set list for the UK part of the tour then I'm going to be ecstatic. It's over 6 months away yet though. I must not get excited yet.... 000
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Yesterday was probably the last camping trip of the year 😪 Paddleboarding on a choppy as fuck Coniston Water, went to all the pubs in the village, had a chippy tea then beers and good music by the camp fire. 141

Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Very pleasant surprise to see No Comply are making a comback for Manchester Punk festival next year. Must be 20 or more years since they called it a day. The 'Your Life Is Your Direction' EP from back in the day is still one of my favorites. Hope they do a run of gigs and it's not just a one off! 151
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Introduce yourself with 10 acts or bands you've seen live... Rancid Discharge Snuff The Prodigy Massive Attack Busted (Don't ask 😆) Inner Terrestrials The Specials Capdown Garbage 220
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Couple of recent additions to the vinyl collection. Ruts DC - Bound In Blood 10" EP and the latest release from Hard-Ons featuring Jerry A of Poison Idea fame on vocals. 190
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 23/08/2026A very calm and peaceful Beacon Tarn this morning. Went up there bright an early for a quick swim. Not a bad way to start the day! 030
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Skint Knees were ace at Rebellion. Certainly a band I'll be looking to go and see again in future. This is worth a read. 021
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Went to see Ruts Dc playing at The Ferret in Preston last night. Great little venue, can't believe I haven't been there before. Ruts DC were on great form as always. Department S were the support band and they were pretty good too. 071
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 19/08/2026The line up for Morecambe punk festival in November is pretty fucking spectacular! 020
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Yesterday's camping trip at Turner Hall. Hotter than expected so I couldn't resist a dip in the river! 030
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 14/08/2026All set for a nice relaxing day and night at Turner Hall campsite. Much needed after last weekends fun and games at Rebellion 🍺🏕 020
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Nice to bump into my old buddy Carol Hodge at Rebellion. Known each other side we were teenagers in the late 90s and its been cool to see her progress from various local bands back then to doing the Crass thing with Steve Ignorant all over the world now. Not to mention her solo work too. 230
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Well Rebellion was fantastic and exhausting as it normally is. No idea how many bands I saw over the 4 days, but it was lots! A good mix of great new discoveries and old favorites. Highlights for me were Smoking Fingers, Grail Guard, Yakkie, The Jungles, Skint Knees, The Gakk, Spunk and The Restarts 120
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Rebellion so far. Pre 11am pint (bad move), Rebellion Festival flag on top of Blackpool Tower, Smoking Fingers (contenders for best band of the weekend already!) and shit loads of pigeons next to my accommodation 🐦 130
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 31/07/2026New tune from The Skints is pretty cool. Definitely looking forward to seeing what they've cooked up when the new album comes out youtu.be/55vYjuROhRY?...youtu.beThe Skints - Home (Official Video)YouTube video by theskints 020
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 30/07/20261 week until the annual pilgrimage to Blackpool for Rebellion festival!!! 🍺🤪🎶 120
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 23/07/2026First attempt at paddleboarding today. Very enjoyable although I didn't manage to stand up on it because it was windy and the water was choppy as fuck on Windermere. Still plenty of fun sat down. Next time! 000
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 02/07/2026First festival of the year tomorrow! Feels like it's been ages since I last went to a proper outdoor festival. Think Bearded Theory 2024 might have been the last one. Looking forward to going slightly feral 😼 010
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Fridays trip to my favorite campsite. Spent most of the day in Loughrigg Tarn due to the heat ☀️ 110
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 19/06/2026FINALLY got to give the new Olivia Rodrigo album a spin. It's been absolute torture having it sat in the house since it was released last Friday but I've not had any spare time to listen to records until today. Amazing emotional roller coaster of an album. Very different to her previous 2 albums. 000
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 18/06/2026If you see this, post a pic from your device with no explanation 020
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Some bits and bobs from Skunk Anansie and Garbage last night. Really enjoyed that gig. Cool to see both bands still going strong and both with plenty of important things to say. Enjoyed the support band Du Blonde too. 130
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Just got back from Skunk Anansie and Garbage playing at Halifax Piece Hall and Wow! That was pretty special! 040
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Few pictures from North West Calling yesterday. Subhumans, Bar Stool Preachers and UK Subs. Charlie being a fucking legend at 82 years young! #punk #northwestcalling #punkmusic 020
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Obligatory video of UK Subs doing Warhead with Wattie from The Exploited at North West Calling yesterday. #punk #uksubs #northwestcalling 020
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 06/06/2026North West Calling today. Struggling to get motivated even though I booked my ticket about a year ago! Be fine when I get there, just feel like I could do with a weekend of doing absolutely nothing for a change. I'd be bored within 10 minutes if I did have a weekend like that though. Can't win! 050
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 04/06/2026My squirrel buddy is looking rather soggy today! Think it's angry because I've run out of nuts too! #wildlife #animals #greysquirrel 050
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Fun day drinking, eating and walking many miles around York yesterday. Even treated myself to a ride on the big wheel thing despite not being keen on heights. Time for some rest and relaxation at home before heading to Lancaster tomorrow to see the mighty Ruts DC playing at Kanteena! 030

Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Devoke Water this morning. Quite a short walk but the scenery made it worthwhile. 110
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Holy shit..I've somehow just managed to bag tickets for Olivia Rodrigos tour next year! Wasn't even that expensive. A gig of that scale is going to be a big shock to the system. So is going to London for the first time ever 😬 010
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Probably going to regret this when it's fucking freezing later on but it seems like a great idea right now! ⛺️🌞 130
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 25/04/202613.5 mile mountain bike ride this morning. I've definitely earned some beers in the sunshine later! 030
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Yesterday's 13 mile hike around Buttermere and Crummock Water. Couldn't have picked a better day for it! Even got slightly sunburnt. 230
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Got lucky at Haybridge this afternoon. Spotted an Adder, some Lizards, a Slow Worm and a Raft Spider all within 10 minutes of getting out of the car. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #Adder #reptiles #cumbria #lakedistrict #haybridgenaturereserve 030
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 14/04/2026A chubby baby bunny and a Herdwick lamb spotted last night. #aminals #animals 050
