PLEASE STOP AND READ We are all currently a bit shocked right now but basically we have been coming home from a gig and have had most of our gear robbed. The information on the go fund me page gives details. The link to donate is in our bio. Even sharing this will help a lot.

I’ll be on the @LiverpoolLiveRD’s Late Lark tonight at 9pm to chat about sobriety in Liverpool’s music scene and all things @BidoLito! Tune in and get involved ✌🏻

Rather apt that after this article being published yesterday I got to watch a band where someone admitted to being too pissed on stage. And everybody cheered.

I (Josh) have been sober for almost 8 months and I recently spoke to the Bido about what it’s like to be sober in the Liverpool music scene. If anyone’s struggling with addiction there’s link at the bottom of this article for where to get help. Forza the becks blue army.

For @BidoLito, I spoke to some of Liverpool’s creatives about the challenges, and benefits, of sobriety in the music and clubbing scene. Thanks to @DjLeeButler, @glamgigpics and @eyesorejinx’s Josh for sharing their perspectives and experiences ⚡️

📣 You have just days to get your hands on issue 117 before we return with our 118th deep-dive into the creative Merseyverse later this week!

The Kaz, Sound, Zanzibar all gone. Parr Street Studios closed for good last week. All the youth clubs are gone. Music is failing to be nurtured in an international music city. Liverpool needs a properly supported grassroot music scene not another Beatles museum.

Ready, Player One? @Just__El sits down with @shedrewthegun in @kittyslaundry to talk politics, identity and fighting the gamified system.

If that's you, I'd love to hear from you, either artists or audience members! DM me if you want to chat anymore about it :)

Writing an article for @BidoLito about sobriety in the clubbing/music scene in Liverpool. Looking to speak to anyone who's made the decision to go sober/is currently on a sobriety journey, particularly within the clubbing/nightlife/cultural scene #journorequest #RecoveryPosse
