North of England based (now ex-)NHS pen pusher, gig goer, and, whenever possible, such-a-lot-of-world-to-see er. Yep - gig pix, travel pix and odd left wing rants and re-posts (profile photo credit: Alexandre Dimou/Reuters)
Beautiful, soft, and ego-free gig with The Songs of Joni Mitchell (Lail Arad, Jesca Hoop, This is the Kate) @nathbrudenell.bsky.social. Fantastic voices and great accompaniment. Loved it - thanks to all involved
V much looking forward to any new material
"Supergroup" Brain Leak with a great show at The Grayston Unity tonight
Beautiful set from Caroline last night at the Arts Club, Liverpool.
Another lovely lovely gig from Naima Bock at The Sydney and Matilda - very ably assisted by some other great musicians. Thanks all
Sevilla - skylines, sunshine, seafood, and, erm, ceramics
Great clean (loud) rock n roll non-stop fun with The (ever fabulous) Schizophonics gig last night at The Golden Lion, Todmorden.
Heeeeere's Gwenno (abs a random cat)! Fab multi-lingual gig Belgrave Music Hall

Another great gig night @thegraystonunity.bsky.social with the ever more lovely Mayshe Mayshe ... and some fine support from Cherry Seraph. Thanks as usual to all concerned
All dayer @nathbrudenell.bsky.social with the ever-fabulous Lovely Eggs - and friends. Great gig/event all round ... inc bingo and vegetarian meat raffle!
Nothing left but Faith .... or perhaps The Silver Reserve and Villagers at Halifax Minster
Peer-to-peer support, shared solutions, and a united voice are exactly how venues survive the pressures they face. Stronger together means stronger for artists, promoters, fans, and the whole live ecosystem.
Big love to the Sheffield venues leading the way.
What a fantastic (albeit afternoon cos we were too slow to get evening tickets) gig with The New Eves with a solid support set from Radio Anorak at The Castle, Manchester. Brilliant work all round
I tend to recognise a state by the long-established shape of its borders.
Thanks to @heymanchester.bsky.social and The Castle for a great Shotgun Jimmie gig. Lovely to see Jimmie again (and to meet Mrs Jimmie). Enjoy the rest of the tour!
@nadineshah.bsky.social playing an amazing gig as part of Bradford City of Culture 25. Brilliant set - thank you! And no, I don't know how we sleep at night
The Burning Hell lifting the (albeit hewn from the living rock) roof off the Milla Club in Munich tonight.
Great show - Sorry @ @bandonthewall.bsky.social

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

"Kirk faces the Horta alone"
And beautiful support from Dana Gavanski also @thetradesclub.bsky.social
I really dislike the term "soundbath" ... but that was *such* an incredible immersive set from @tunng.bsky.social last night @thetradesclub.bsky.social. Loved it - excellent work all!
Grassroots music needs you.
For over a decade, we’ve fought to protect the UK’s grassroots music venues. Now, as the Grassroots Levy we’ve pushed for finally becomes a reality, we want to take our work to the next level.
And then The Wave Pictures!
Abolute bonus! Mayshe Mayshe as last minute support for The Wave Pictures @thetradesclub.bsky.social - lovely set.
