Fancy trying some new music, but not sure where to start? In Newcastle, I'd recommend Fresh Thursdays at Cobalt Studios Ltd. It's £7 to see two fantastic artists, or £10 with dinner included. It's worth it for the dinner alone, so why not #TakeAPunt ?

Local folk singer Amelia Coburn has opened up about the discrimination she's faced due to her Teesside accent: bbc.in/3J27m1W

Nothing on #TheSkewer this week - the news moves fast, and there’s lots of competition. Stuff that didn’t make the cut included Winnie the Pooh and the Oxford and Cambridge Pooh Sticks Race, and a collaboration between Lee Anderson & Take That: I Want My Country Back For Good.

Difficult to focus, when there are so many stories crying out to be skewered on a constant basis. #TheSkewer

Today’s episode of Pointless showed just how little is known about classical music in this country, although on the plus side I got to feel quite smug for about 5 minutes. This soon dissipated when the subject changed to football.

Went to NT Wallington yesterday and started a new covers band.

Folk trio Granny's Attic bring exceptional musicianship and boundless energy to Birmingham, Biggleswade, Hebden Bridge and Seaford this year, celebrating their 15th anniversary. 🪗

My beginner’s luck continues, and last night I got another BBC Radio 4 credit, this time on #TheSkewer . Pleased to have played a small part in this very clever and beautifully produced programme. My bit was Alan Titchmarsh & the wrong trousers…!

After getting a smidge of material on DMs Are Open, I listened last week and then heard #TheSkewer , and now I'm hooked (skewered?). Then after going down a rabbithole, I discovered 'We Forced a Bot to Write This Show' - a lot of brilliance coming from Jon Holmes/Unusual Productions.
