Photo from the early 1970s of a man on horseback negotiating the Birmingham inner ring road at Holloway Head
Iβm searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but Iβve been unable to track it down.
Any leads? Iβm really hoping to use it in a book.
(And would much appreciate a RT please)
A good listen and introduction to new bands, as usual.
Great to find this footage of Goldblade on Ant and Dec's Saturday day morning pop show 'CD:UK' playing our hit that never was 'Hairstyle' in 1998. We had loads of radio play as well and then the record label went bust! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlD0...
My #SOTW is "Becomes a Dream" by Season 2.
New to me but includes members of a couple of other good bands.

Happy Birthday for yesterday π
New substack is up.
On fly tipping, sharing good news, some good news, and a book festival.

#TicketStubWed This week in 1997.
The Lemonheads touring Car Button Cloth a short while before their hiatus. Murph from Dinosaur jr on drums, I think.
Support from You Am I.
Last night's cinema trip.
A bit of a slight story but a worth the watch indie with friendship (and records) at it's heart.

"Views and postcards of Blenheim", a just about readable #GhostSign in Woodstock, Oxfordshire.

Arguably a little early to go Belgian π§πͺ but I have saved this bottle for nearly 5 years so I think it balances out.
Cheers all.

Yes, we do this instead of GM. Loved it there but the ticket scramble for that now put me off. Manchester psych fest the week after too. Lots on.
Bought tickets for @krankenhausfest.bsky.social ages ago so well happy with todays first announcement lineup poster.
My #SOTW this week is "She's my Love" by casual smart.
Not sure about their aversion to capital letters though.

First gig at Sidney & Matilda for me. Ideal spot for a triple bill of Neuri, Man of Moon and the reliably ace Helicon.
Just enough room on stage for the latter.

I think I have arrived in #Sheffield.
The clues are all there.
Printed page from a catalogue with the title 'Fancy Knitted Goods Department - Cont. Bathing Costumes. Ladies' - Children's - Gentlemen's.' It features drawings of a child, a woman and a man, all wearing bathing costumes.
Are your thoughts turning to summer holidays on sandy beaches? Perhaps you could do with some lovely new woollen bathing costumes, such as these 1929 ones from George Brettle & Company Ltd of Belper.

Really looking forward to visiting Sheffield tonight and seeing Helicon again.

Finally, signs of spring at the train station this morning. Brightening up the commute.

I do like a matinee show and The Sparks Desire @dubrekstudios.bsky.social yesterday was well worth heading to. "Americana meets electronica" only partly captures what was going on.
