It turns out September is just around the corner (sorry), but that means the book launch for my new book is also just around the corner. Would you like to come? I'd love to see you there... Tell your friends x wegottickets.com/f/23120

Thank you for keeping the Zine Things Happen packaging department busy this weekend. I'm now sold out of Heavenly fanzines BUT there are still some copies of issues 1 and 3 to pick up for a song. Just visit the link in my bio to go to my shop. Thank you 🙏🏻

Issue 2 of “Old Survivor” about to go public. “Tall Tales. Public Beefs. Bad Poetry. Incantations. Love Letters” is the rough remit. It’s mostly me (and some pals) writing about music and providing an outlet for some cool old graphic design stuff.

Lovely long piece in @theguardian.com on the recent resurgence of fanzines. @msclairebiddles.bsky.social has squeezed an impressive number of current fanzines in there... including mine. Click here to have a read: www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...

Low stock alert!! I am down to the final 6 copies of the Heavenly special of Zine Things Happen. So if you want one... There are also only 25 copies left of issue 1 (the Stephen Duffy cover, with the big Blueboy interview and lots more). www.janeduffus.com/shop/zine-th...

These are all great, so get them snapped up while you have the chance! 👇👇👇

Get 'em while they're cheap... In anticipation of issue 4 of Zine Things Happen (and wanting to make some space in my office) - I have: * dramatically slashed the individual price of issues 1, 2 and 3... and * set up a very bargain bundle if you buy all 3 together.

When I'm not writing about indie-pop, I'm writing about forgotten women from history. And my next book celebrates the largely untold stories of 200 impressive women from Bath's history. I'm having a launch party on September 9 and you're all invited :-) wegottickets.com/f/23120

Those of you in the vicinity of Bristol might like to know that post-punk writer par excellence, Simon Reynolds (who I had the pleasure of interviewing for 'These Things Happen'), is at Strange Brew on Wednesday June 17 talking about his brand new book. It looks like a splendid evening.

Still in a Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock, 1984–1994 at Strange Brew

The definitive story of the slackers and shoegazers who reinvented rock. Twenty years after his acclaimed postpunk best-seller, Rip It Up and Start Again, Simon Reynolds tells the tale of what happen...

If indie-pop is your thing, then you might enjoy issue 3 of Zine Things Happen - launched this very weekend and, currently, only available on the link below: www.janeduffus.com/shop/zine-th...

Good news - #3 of Zine Things Happen has gone to print and pre-orders are open! After the Heavenly-focused #2 (still a few copies left btw), it is back to business as usual and lots of bands are allowed a look. So, as well as cover stars @evenaswespeak.bsky.social you can enjoy such delights as...

We travelled from Valencia to Madrid today on the whizzy high speed train (whoosh), and made our way to Sala Galileo Galilei (another excellent Spanish music venue) to see Heavenly blow the roof off. Metaphorically speaking, obviously. @skepwax.bsky.social @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social

This was Heavenly in Valencia last night. We enjoyed the show. Thanks @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social and @skepwax.bsky.social

From last night at Discos Oldies in Valencia, talking about 'These Things Happen' and Sarah Records. NB @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social assures me she was having more fun than this photo suggests!

It's a shame Haribo didn't ask my opinion on this... because these sweets are just begging to be called Maribo. They're welcome. #Spain

Ran my 500th parkrun this morning. Reckon I can stop now.

I only ever made iTunes playlists to keep me company on ultramarathons. Scrolling through my playlists just now, I'm reminded of the time I made a one-song playlist to entertain me as I spent six hours running round and round and round a 400m athletics track in Walton-on-Thames a few years ago.

Calling Spanish Sarah Records fans! Next week, as you surely know, @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social and co are coming to Spain on their global tour. I've been invited to give a little talk about Sarah Records and my book etc at the lovely Discos Oldies record shop in Valencia next Weds (May 6) at 7pm.

Music fans in or near Bristol: come along to the Independent Record Label Market at @bristolbeacon.bsky.social tomorrow. It's free entry and there will be lots of stalls from fab independent labels. I'll be there with @spinoutnuggets.bsky.social. Come and say hello. bristolbeacon.org/whats-on/ind...

Indie-pop pals, are you heading to @walesgoespop.bsky.social this weekend? Me, too. It's a cracking line-up of bands... and @uncharteredstreets.bsky.social (aka Matt from Sarah Records) and me talking all things, err, Sarah Records at about 1pm on Saturday. Oh - and books and zines will be on sale.

Anyone looking forward to seeing Even As We Speak, Heavenly (and other @skepwax.bsky.social artistes...) et al at @walesgoespop.bsky.social this weekend might like to know that, on the Saturday, you can also hear me chatting to @janeduffus.bsky.social about Sarah Records. So if there’s [1/3]

Don’t forget we’ll be in Bristol on April 25th for the Independent Label Market: Bristol at Bristol Beacon (free entry), from midday! Then it’s down to The Louisiana for the evening for Nasser Bouzida’s Grimm Fairy Tales, plus Big Boss Man live (ticketed)! We’d love to see you at both!
