You can expect similar levels of professional presentation from 7pm next Thursday (19th) at the Horse & Bamboo with @steveediggle @Buzzcocks

We're still catching up to the depth of their importance here in Manchester. Pete Shelley has a lovely mural in his nearby hometown of Leigh. Not sure why there's a Thomas Pynchon muted posthorn. There's a great book by @hanleypa.bsky.social - but don't let him catch you calling 'em 'the' Buzzcocks!
Oh! Brother Podcast live with Paul and Steve Hanley and special guest Steve Diggle. Quite a night out. Tickets and further info ➡️ www.tickettailor.com/events/later...
Buzzcocks Bookclub. If you want a deep dive into this wonderful band, read these two books, lose yourself in the albums and then turn up at Horse + Bamboo, Waterfoot on 19th March to see Steve Diggle chat with Paul Hanley and his brother Steve. Thank us afterwards.
Great to talk to Adam!
Adam Buxton is the guest on the latest Oh! Brother podcast. He gives a full account of Mark E Smith's appearance on the Adam & Joe show, plus his life in TV, radio and podcasts, much of it soundtracked by The Fall. There's a treat at the end when he asks the brothers about Fall songwriting sessions.
NEW SINGLE!
Wondering why haven't you heard anything from the forthcoming HOUSE Of ALL album "Inklings" yet? No need to wonder anymore: they've now consented to make a first track from the album available for you to hear on Bandcamp Day, so here it is!

Don’t know why I said mum!
Did your mum work at Barlow High?
Here you go, an original 1982 Kamara Records vinyl copy of it, signed by @hanleypa.bsky.social and @stephenhanley6.bsky.social and given to me in the mid-90s when I was about 16 by their brother Harry, who worked with one of my aunties
Me and @stephenhanley6.bsky.social will be speaking to John at the Sale and Chorley dates. Maybe see you there?
Cheers!
Just listened to @ohbrothershow.bsky.social with Adrian Sherwood. Highly recommend this, quality chat with the Hanley brothers. Fall and beyond. I could’ve done another hour. @hanleypa.bsky.social @stephenhanley6.bsky.social
V. good episode - hadn’t realised that Sherwood is practically Lancastrian
We also chat Prince Far I, John Peel, Tackhead and Lee “Scratch” Perry — and hear about his recent move from behind the desk to performing live. Hope you enjoy! linktr.ee/ohbrothershow
This week on the @ohbrothershow we were delighted to welcome producer and On‑U Sound founder Adrian Sherwood. Adrian talks us through first meeting Mark E. Smith, working with The Fall on Slates and Extricate, and the studio tricks (and “anti‑production” ethos) that shaped those records. (+)
Hope you enjoy them! @kcmanc.bsky.social
Telling Stories - Photographs of The Fall by Kevin Cummins and Have A Bleedin Guess - The Story of Hex Enduction Hour by Paul Hanley.
In other exciting (to me) #FallFriday news, a very good pal sent me these the other day. What a legend.

Here’s a taster of the joys and jolts to be found in the Stewart Lee narrated audiobook of Steve Hanleys life in The Fall. THE BIG MIDWEEK. 11.5 hours of humour and horror. DRINK IT UP! @stephenhanley6.bsky.social #TheFall #stewartlee
