Very sad to hear of one so young suffering a stroke, dig deep and all that.
I'm taking part in a fundraiser in support of Rosa Thomas of The Smaphires on Sunday March 8th at the Star & Shadow in Newcastle. If the tickets are gone don't be scared to donate. M

Sniff More Gritty is one of the best albums of (essentially) this year, brilliant live, an artist who should be massive but unaccountably is almost unknown, unless you're in the know. Find out.
The music video for 'It's Christmas and I'm Crying' is out now! My favourite part is the puppets my mum and I made from a foam mattress she found in a back alley. Thanks so much to @marcrileydj for giving this radio play recently ❤️ Watch here: https://t.co/QqRxsIEojT

2 years ago managed to see Martin @CulpaFeliks @Prefabsprout in London. An accident prevents me from@making to Newcastle in December. Have a free ticket for the Friday or Saturday show if any fan wants to go for what will be a 40th celebration of Steve McQeen

My attorney advised me to 'keep my head down' in the current political climate, and try to post stuff that doesn't offend anyone. I told him, I'll be damned! Silence=assent. But let me just state for the record: I am DELIGHTED with my new pedal bin.

I did have the first chapter or two of a book written about Steve McQueen, but in a sad case of sincere flattery it got lost somewhere and I moved onto other things. I did rescue this bit though

Gonna jump onto the bandwagon a while. This was my attempt at telling the story of Steve McQueen. https://t.co/NSyILqRwJ5 And there was this too: https://t.co/38KZpmH3nF which contains about my favourite analogy ever.

Brilliant gig by @dublondesucks in Brighton last night. Get out and see for yourself as soon as you can.

I’m booked for the Saturday night Cluny gig, which is now as much a part of Christmas as waiting for the madman on the roof.

I think there’s enough material here for a sitcom, Mart. We can co-write it, start tomorrow, and don’t forget to include regular guest appearances by the other band members.

If anyone who follows me knows how to contact Crowded House management reliably, let me know and I'll open DMs for instructions. This is resolutely not Prefab Sprout related, personal thing.

I've never known where it sits, I've always felt a little ashamed of loving it so much, U2 were never really fashionable. But a swirling stream of consciousness which at that moment completely aligned with my own.

I was trying to survive on lentil curry having dropped out of university, my girlfriend was in Germany, it was cold perpetually but the moment I stepped out onto Western Road, I owned the world. I had no future I could imagine. That album places me back there, instantly.
