That new Lana Del Rey tune with the really long title is batshit crazy but also weirdly addictive.

Impromptu purchase of tickets for @stifflittlefingers.bsky.social and @themeffs.bsky.social in Manchester on Friday night. Why the fuck not?

Gammons just don't understand how they're just useful idiots for the very wealthy. Sad.

Sorry about the late reply! Smoking Fingers, young ska punk band from the Isle Of Man are definitely not to be missed.
Last Tree Squad too.
I've heard many good things about Diaz Brothers and Minimal Faff. Haven't seen either of them myself but I'll definitely be checking them out.

8.8 mile walk today from Claife Heights Viewing station to Wray Castle and back. Then into Hawkshead for an ice cream. Day well spent.

Yakkie are one off the top of my head. I'll have another look though the line up and get back to you.

They're definitely high up on my list of bands to see at Rebellion!

Just given Grail Guards debut album 'Still No Future' a spin and what an album it is! 10 tracks of fast, loud, angry, anti fascist punk rock just the way it should be.
Can't recommend this album enough. I really need to catch these guys live too!

What did you think of Yakkie? I was really,really impressed with them in Manchester on Friday. Dead Pioneers were ace too.

Carried on with my annual tradition of watching the Brit awards in complete disgust. (Apart from that 1 time Olivia Rodrigo performed an amazing version of Drivers Licence)
To be fair Rosalias performance was pretty cool this year, especially bringing Bjork out. Pretty underwhelming other than that.

Heading to Manchester to see Dead Pioneers with support from Yakkie tonight. Been looking forward to this one for a while. First time seeing both bands but if their albums are anything to go by then it's gonna be quite a gig!

Great to see that one of my favorite bands are playing fairly local to me at the end of May!
Also awesome to see that @tvfaceband.bsky.social are supporting too!

Quick walk down the local canal this morning before the rain came in. Not much to see other than one of the Cormorants chilling out.

9 mile walk from Tilberthwaite to Elterwater via Langdale.
Perfect conditions for it but I didn't get many pictures.

Was hoping to get away with just doing 1 or 2 days at Rebellion festival this year but after looking at the day splits it looks like I'm going to have to do all 4 fucking days again πŸ™„
Oh well. There's worse problems to have.

Sad to hear about the passing of Chris AKA Captain Hotknives.
Quite a character.

On route to Manchester to see Bob Vylan tonight which is also my first gig of 2026.
Been a while since I last saw them and didn't hear much about them in 2025. Wonder if they got up to much 🀣

True enough! I'll think about it that way

Haven't managed to go to any gigs this month so I'm not going to be able to match last year's achievement of going to at least one gig for every month of the year.
Got two coming up in February though so at least there's something in sight.

Yesterday's walk around Coniston, Yewdale and Tarn Hows. Met some of the friendliest sheep ever.
