Early this morning, the north Manchester sky was full of Turneresque dissolving clouds and rich purple hues. And if you like that sort of thing, I can strongly recommend the excellent new JWT show at @WhitworthArt @NotQuiteLight
A major new exhibition opens this week at The Whitworth. Marking 250 years since his birth, In Light and Shade explores the work and technique of legendary British landscape artist J.M.W. Turner. 📍 @WhitworthArt 📅 Until 2 Nov https://t.co/xw0FabUbO7

Just been catching up with @RealBobMortimer’s Satsuma Complex novel and he’s slipped in a very pleasing reference to Desire As. @Sproutology @prefab_sprout @Birmingham_81 @petepaphides

And on the pic of the band on the back, some sixth former has scrawled “Posers! The Sex Pistols destroyed all this excrement- their one and only credit!” @petepaphides @Birmingham_81

The fact it’s stamped as having once belonged to a posh Cheshire grammar school’s music library is a nice bit of provenance as well.

I don’t usually document my bootfair finds as they tend to be fairly unremarkable. But finding a battered yet playable copy of this lurking in amongst the Mantovani and marching band LPs this morning for 50p seemed worth celebrating. @Birmingham_81 @VinylCarBooty

Great shout out for @HistoricEngland and @Moreheritage’s landlady project on @PetrocTrelawny’s @BBCRadio3 show this morning. He followed it up with a sidebar story about how much Elgar loved the resort. More about the research at https://t.co/zDcO50yY1a

The landladies were famed for their gruff reputation but helped families create special memories.

Looks like @PrivateEyeNews was bang on the money some years ago #vinylrecords
Analogue technology can be frustrating – is that part of the appeal?

I’ve got a brilliant northern-focused ‘concrete made from waste Fleetwood cockle and whelk seashells’ story for you if that’s more appropriate @JudithMoritz
innovatelancashire.co.uk
Professor Karl Williams from University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) has worked with Blackpool arts company LeftCoast to develop a sustainable, pervious concrete using whelks and scallop shells.
As a North of England Correspondent I do enjoy a well targeted press release…

Off to see @AstorPete at the #Tallyrand in #Levenshulme. Both artist and venue are new to me, but @Birmingham_81 is usually a reliable tipster when it comes to indie singer songwriters and power pop troubadours who might be a bit under the radar.
