We’re on holidays with our buckets and spades, getting sunburnt and crotchety now, but soon be over and looking forward to all of these. Here are the dates for our outings in the rest of 2026. Tickets available via link in Bio.

Starting out on a Shindig feature about new town cinema. Will explore some of the reasons for our continued fascination with the new town project and aesthetic. These three films will feature prominently, but there are others too. If you are a fellow obsessive, your thoughts are very welcome.

Nigel Farage turned down the level of security Parliament provides for politicians such as Kemi Badenoch because it wasn’t good enough for him. And one can understand why when you look at his current crack private security team funded by Reform UK:

The world’s richest man is also a massive racist who loves to push disinformation online

Hell YES

Our BBC 6Music session on Riley and Coe from October last year is being repeated this week (one song each night). Thanks a lot to them for the airing it again. You can listen on Sounds, but only live if you’re outside the UK (as sadly playback on Sounds doesn’t work now in the rest of the world).

Our next record will be released on @precrecs.bsky.social Available to pre-order from 7 August.

Not long now. Looking forward to playing in London in August with the excellent @jetstreampony.bsky.social For tickets see Linktree in our Bio

My partner's going through her singles and showed me these gems @prolapseband.bsky.social :-)

@prolapseband.bsky.social @derrymick.bsky.social and these as well!

At the end of this disgusting clip, this disgusting man tells the blatant lie children with autism will never use the toilet unassisted. Shame on RFK Jr and shame on those who confirmed his appointment.

RFK Jr: Kids with autism will never hold a job. They'll never play baseball. They'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date.

This was my favourite gig of the time in Oxford. This an unused photo of the night (I think). It was the night after The Fall played Salisbury, which was also an amazing gig for the time, when they were in total disarray. Anyway.. @prolapseband.bsky.social @derrymick.bsky.social in 1999.

Partick Thistle, Partick Thistle was a Prolapse demo lyric and I got hit by the ball twice in a game there once I attended with @derrymick.bsky.social So definitely hoping they keep winning at Firhill.

Worlds worst flip-through. I found out a neighbour who passed away last year was on the fringes of the Fluxus group. I was invited to buy his LP collection and was blown away by how our tastes converged, right down to the DVDs of The Clangers next to Kenneth Anger. Currently hauling from the van:

@derrymick.bsky.social @prolapseband.bsky.social Saw the brilliant Prolapseon Birmingham last week. The gig brought back a flood of memories of why I fell in love with Prolapse and thier amazing live shows!

I spy @ineeddirection.bsky.social & @wilgy.bsky.social 😃👀

It was brilliant gig in Birmingham. My ideal Prolapse was right there. I went absolutely wild during the closing Flex. I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, but take care of your leg, Linda. Cheers!

Still Hate Thatcher.
