Great vid but disappointing to hear that even in the US Westies ain't what they were. I crave the old resinous amber coloured ones - aside from @elusivebrewing.com Oregon Trail is anyone brewing anything like that in the UK any more?

The new bar at @roughtraderecords.bsky.social Bristol is great. Signature beers on tap, good coffee and currently LCD Soundsystem on the turntable 👌

Fantastic review of Angine de Poitrine debut UK show in the Guardian today www.theguardian.com/music/2026/may/…

Angine de Poitrine review – alien rock duo’s UK debut is hypnotic, harebrained and 100% worth the hype
The polka-dotted phenomenon land their spaceship in Leeds for an ecstatic show that balances supremely complex musicianship with ridiculous good fun

I missed out on tickets for the gigs, even though venues have been upsized.

Can’t stop playing Angine de Poitrine at the moment. Microtonal math rock by cardboard duo from Montreal. #musicsky

Too expensive for me this time. I found a good seat in front block on floor at O2 but it was over 400 quid so I’ve bailed. It was seventy something to be 2nd row in Manchester last time so….

Attic brewery next? Wildcat Tap now back open again & Cork and Cage next door always worth a visit.

Cotteridge Wines seem to have closed their ‘tasting room’ these days but yes, pretty much as you describe it. Glasshouse is a great space in good weather and usually a food option too. Good fried chicken place on same industrial estate too now.

He records all shows to audio but video is seriously expensive. Factor in that the Albert Hall take a cut of anything their name is used in and odds aren’t that high….

I managed to get Wednesday tickets. I’m hoping for some new music to be played in the 2nd half as his next album is pretty much finished now. #musicsky

Really enjoyed hearing about this on latest @pelliclemag.com podcast. Similar vibes and mix of Bathams/Holdens beers at The Great Western in Wolves. 2 minute walk from the station - worth breaking your journey for.

I wish Trump would do a #parkrun He’d be baffled. Lots of people trying hard, supporting each other, volunteering, nobody pays or gets paid, and even if you come first you can’t crow about it because it’s not an actual race. That urge to invade somewhere just sort of slips away.

Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day. "Where there any other contenders?" "Um, no?" "A hollow victory, then".
