Looking forward to hearing it.

They just want new MPs to shut up and vote how they are told. This will never help the democratic infrastructure and shows a big weakness in Starmer’s government

Westmorland & Furness has the 10th highest rate of suicide deaths in England. Every Life Matters is offering free one hour training sessions in Ulverston; basic First Aid for someone with thoughts of suicide

Oxley is supporting this, to get involved please contact me or @shaunblezard.bsky.social

The Tier Garden - The Afrikaan (John Peel Show) - 1984 YouTube video by Webbie

I’m involved in a project about the music scene in Barrow 1977-95. I’m creating new work about that time.

I’m looking for recordings of music & gigs to create new tracks.

Drop line here/email info@shaunblezard.com - Digital preferred, but can get other stuff sorted.

The mind/body revolution: how the division between ‘mental’ and ‘physical’ illness fails us all New research shows western medicine’s traditional split between brain and body is, in fact, far from clear cut – and could provide a breakthrough for many complex conditions

An interesting read

Saw Paul Brady at The Brewery around that time - a fine musician

Such a great album

This week’s show on the archives

Labour hasn’t delivered growth or happiness. It needs an economic reset. Successive governments have tailored economic and tax policies to impoverish the masses

Poverty is political

Despite economic growth since 2010, 5.2m UK children live in poverty. Govts imposed two-child benefit cap.

Due to lack of good food, housing, healthcare, UK children upto 7cm shorter than comparable Europeans.

Must reset political discourse

Starmer tells us he’ll be ruthless - throwing the vulnerable under the bus :-( are these Labour values?
