Green Man 2007 - year 5. A classic line up, one I shall always be proud of. Robert Plant phoned us at home to ‘ask’ if he could play! (Thanks gavin.hogg !). So many wonderful artists - look at all the acts on the poster, even further down the bill. indiethroughthelookingglass.com/the-green-ma...

Another thing I've been mostly doing today is reading the excellent new fanzine – cleverly titled Zine Things Happen - by @janeduffus.bsky.social I'd seriously consider getting a copy if I were you (despite my being in it) www.janeduffus.com/shop/zinethi...

I was alerted to the Licorice news this morning by a new friend of the ISB @iammilliam.bsky.social . I told him that I felt several people close to the band had known for some years and decided to respect her life choices. I was lucky enough to see Likky, Rose, Robin & Mike in 1969…

It's impossible to overemphasise the importance of Bob Lamb in the musical life of Birmingham. If he'd lived in Manchester or Liverpool he would've had his own South Bank Show. He made the better Kiss Me and the first Lilac Time album. Eternally grateful and sending love xsd

The Lilac Time: LIVE from 2007 the night before we played The Green Man. It’s magical record, one of our best. I’ve worked hard to make it sound as much like a studio album as possible. Think of it as our Skull And Roses, The Last of the Red Hot Burritos or Get Your Ya Ya’s Out @burningshed.com

We’ve got two new albums that can be ordered today via Burning Shed. The remastered LFADITN sounds incredible thanks to Miles at Abbey Road. The live album is magical, one of our best. I tried to make it sound like a studio album. It’s our Skull And Roses! Thank you @needlemythology.bsky.social

I should add, with Astronauts that when they're gone, we really can't make any more of these. We're selling them at pretty much what they cost to make and when you receive one, you'll see why. FYI I believe there are currently about 130 remaining. www.tiktok.com/@needlemytho...

Just a quick line to say that Needle Mythology's unanimously acclaimed expanded, remastered, extensively annotated reissue of ASTRONAUTS by @thelilactime.bsky.social has almost sold out on CD and, of the 1000 3LP vinyl editions, there are approximately 200 left. These will not be re-pressed.
