My best mate since school days is Christopher Lillicrap. Some people haven't heard of him, others wonder whatever happened to him. Courtesy of a guitar he bought in Athens & a heart surgeon in Plymouth he's written a touching new song about ageing- and it's here! youtu.be/TOxSw_1Z2mg?...

"Why go to Rome when you can come to South Shields?" said the guide. Just been to the extraordinary Arbeia Roman remains. Why isn't this better known? A really excellent visit and well explained on site. #southshields #Arbeia @profaliceroberts.bsky.social

Gorgeous bluebell woods at Felley Priory this morning. Lovely to have this in our back yard!
I'm feeling out of sorts today In fact I'm quite confuesli It seems that Aldi no longer make Their Very Berry Muesli. My favourite cereal bar none On the right hand aisle - not the midl So what's a hungry boy to do? I'll take my trade to Lidl! #Aldi #BringBackVeryBerryMuesli #Lidl

Not long back from Bempton Cliffs where we saw lots of Gannets, a Pippity sort of bird and the occasional Puffin! Must have a look @matthewstadlen.bsky.social page to see what he's been up to....
Mixcloud says this interview is 4th in The Global Acoustic Blues Chart. I'm not sure how impressed I should be, it's a decent interview though & Karen is a fine musician with a good story to tell! www.mixcloud.com/roger-willia...

Some real quality here, a song obscurely linked to Nick Drake & sounding really great even without @katestjohn.bsky.social who was on the original. Great work @mikebatt.bsky.social & that bloke from The Moody Blues.

Up in the North East. Walked from Tynemouth to the fish Quay at North Shields. Some very fine modern statues celebrating local heritage.
Lauren Laverne is a superbly professional host of Desert Island Discs. A good listener & fine interlocutor. She was no less professional with Nick Cave, but there's no mistaking the fact that she was interviewing a hero this week - so infectiously enthusistic! @laurenlaverne.bsky.social #NickCave
Oooh! Time for Soft Folkus at 7.00 pm tonight. Legends like Big Bill Broonzy and Lonnie Donegan mingle with @winterwilson.bsky.social Anna Massie, Alden & Patterson, Ninebarrow &more. There are a couple of songs inspired my #ACompleteUnknown and a nod and a wink to #BurnsNight Join me if you can!
