We Are Scientists - O2 Academy, Liverpool A celebration of their “With Love And Squalor” album - which is, if you all too familiar with the album as I am, stuffed with bangers! Tonight reminded me of the brilliant indie scene of the mid 00s! My knees are going to hate me in the morning 😂

Cheers!! Happy Friday everyone! Not a Guinness unfortunately - just an over priced pint from my local sponsored venue 🤬

#OfChorus Day 2: Blur - Song 2 Woo-hoo… The song is 2 minutes & 2 seconds long - and its chorus makes no sense - are you feeling heavy metal? Are you all pins and needles? None of it matters - you are having far too much fun jumping up and down to its grin inducing charms! Pleased to meet you 👍🏻

#OfChorus Day 1: Beck - Loser So I’m from Benidorm… Another in the list of misheard lyrics 😂. A chorus as infectious as the song itself - and brought this beautiful man into my life and whose music I have been a fan of since! Soy un perdedor… I’m a loser baby…. Your probably singing that now 🙌🏻

Got back from seeing Bad Apples I commend anyone working in education. Minimal budgets, unruly children, blaming parents, Ofsted reports - trying to do your best and inspire… Worth watching for Saoirse Ronan - but for something “dark and satirical” - it didn’t land. Perhaps the book is better?

Got back from seeing Just An Illusion A charming comedy set in the 80s as a young man prepares for his barmitzvah - against a backdrop of bickering parents and a crush on a girl Great throwbacks to the times - IBM computers, VHS tapes, funk and goth as well as changing attitudes to family dynamics

Booked! I’ll be seeing them twice now - but with my sister - the other date will be with my niece Was a bit wack-a-mole to get the £95 tickets - we will be up in the gods - but I’ve seen many a band from all the way in the back - still have a good time!!

Woke up to an e-mail saying I have a code to get Oasis tickets. Great news - I want my sister to go - she has already said my niece can have the ticket since she has already seen them! Window opens at 5 - good vibes please 😂

The Lemonheads - O2 Academy, Liverpool They started off great. All the bangers. Almost an hour in, Evan grabbed an acoustic and was on his own, played a few more songs… And then he left the stage. All done. Whether the chatty types put him off and he thought - fuck it - who knows? What a shame ☹️
I JUST WANT A BIT PART IN YOUR LIFE!

The Afghan Whigs - O2 Ritz, Manchester This may be TMI for some - but Greg Dulli makes me want to do wild thing. Even more so now. It’s that rasp - bringing much needed soul to rock ‘n’ roll! Played songs from the new album as well as from their catalogue - including Debonair and Something Hot 🔥

Pulp: What Do You Do For An Encore? - the verdict Part concert film, part documentary narrated by Jarvis on Pulp’s journey. Chair dancing and miming ensued. And applause at the end! Was perfect! Wished I brought hankies with me - there was a moving tribute to Steve Mackey - set my allergies off 😢

Off to watch the Pulp documentary . Since it’s called “What Do You Do For An Encore?”, seemed appropriate to wear this T-shirt…

For 6 Music’s “Wear Your Band T-shirt to work day”, I’ve gone for the latest addition to the collection. Walking up to a miserable day, I needed some sunshine - so this gorgeous tee seemed appropriate. And now it has stopped raining - cloudbusting in action 😂

Sad to hear that Bonnie Greer has passed away. One of the greats whose opinions I valued and trusted. When she spoke, I listened. RIP Bonnie ❤️

Saint Etienne - New Century Hall, Manchester No tears were shed - only dancing and singing. Lots of dancing and singing! Apologies to those filming He’s On The Phone and caught my alley cat vocals 😬 There was a quick exit… is this it? If they do play again, my dad dancing shoes are at the ready 🙌🏻
