The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Any idea which hill? I always thought it was Pinnacle Hill just up from the Kettle Sings. 110
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 08/09/2026No nostalgic conversations but a lot of disappointment about the now revered McCartney albums and the horror of the Lennon records apart from Plastic Ono and Rock ‘n’ Roll. 020
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 20/08/2026No I’m not a list thinker. I’m just an old fashioned Performance is better than El Topo kind of person. But also well done for liking El Topo so much. 000
Reposted by The Lilac TimeIndieThroughTheLookingGlass @jo-bartlett.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Green 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... 1132
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Unfortunately it’s commercial failure put Mike in control and Robin leaves three or so years later. Best band ever though. 000
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 07/07/2026A tour standing in front of that and we’d all start the Style Council. 120
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Rick wasn’t doing himself any favours with the “great white” drum kit. 110
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I was in New York 9/11. A few days later a peace march went from Union to Times Square. Lots of police trying to kettle the march and break it up. When I finally got to Times Square I looked up and on the marquee it said Apocalypse Now Redux. I had been looking forward to it. 081
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 04/07/2026But on a lighter note I’m in it at the end of Police & Thieves. Ray Gange stood behind me. 130
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I think Townes isn’t pitchy he just abandons the last word of each line and then sometimes struggles to get back to the tune. 130

The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I was told, by a presenter, that when they closed Pebble Mill they chucked all the vinyl in a skip. 030
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I seem to remember they changed to the Wings but most viewers hated it , so they changed back and only used Macca occasionally. Crossroads was always more Plastic Ono Band than Wings. 360
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Great days. A lot of Guinness. Very little audience! 💜 140

The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 21/05/2026You welcome a discourse on Mary but bar me from expressing my love for Anne Briggs? I listened to everything Anne released this week and more than any other artist she sounds like she’s singing only for herself. And then I watched Travelling For A Living. 130
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 19/05/2026It probably sold over 250000. This was the high water mark, the last golden age of the single. And most copies must’ve been from independent shops without chart machines. How extraordinary and inspiring each single was. 010
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Is there any way of finding out without Spotify making bombs? 000
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Happy Birthday Andy. I was working at the Wool Hall in 95 when it was still Vans. He had a very austere office, I don’t suppose he used it often, and in the middle of his otherwise empty desk was a compact disc. It looked like it was goading or perplexing him. I crept in to find it was Tilt. 2162
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Who is going to say that no ordinary person will ever make any real money again? The workhouse and pre World War One poverty for working people is what the right have always wanted and is now inevitable. This is the culmination of the dismantling of hope that started in 1979. 020
The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 05/05/2026At last real competition for Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart. And so much sexier. #goldbergoborne♥️ 110

The Lilac Time @thelilactime.bsky.social · 26/04/2026It was the first album I got when it came out and unfairly overlooked and disparaged I’ve always felt. Sounds like a Jack Frost production in some ways. 140
