Kittiwake colony on the Baltic. My kinda gallery ...

Doin' a bit of sightseeing in Newcastle, like ...

David Lance Callahan with a bit of England primitive at Cumberland Arms Newcastle. Nice to finally meet! Another epic drummer for different reasons (a veteran of the Fall, Nightingales, I was told). Pure wild energy, a mini snare for maximum sharp cracks. 🚀

With Lindy Morrison earlier this evening. What a superb gig!
Packed venue, great one from David Lance Callahan and then a set of amazing songs from the new album by The Girl With The Replaceable Head.
Mint!

Great night The Cumberland Arms watching The Girl with the Replaceable Head! Lovely to see Lindy Morrison and Popklubb Pauline Murray Ruth Hudson . Thanks Michael Robson

Any Go-Betweens fans will know how excited I was to see (& meet!) Lindy Morrison, drumming with The Girl With The Replaceable Head at @thecumberlandarms last night. I had a great night with Pauline Murray & family. Thanks to Michael Robson for putting it on.

Girl With The Replaceable Head performing the Go Betweens track 'Apology Accepted ' with Lindy Morrison at Cumberland Arms Newcastle . I had a slight tear in my eye, yes I did. 🥺

Helen McCookerybook needs a bigger post than I can put here, immense craft in her songs, worlds of emotion distilled down to short sly pop songs. 💜 a really brilliant opener.

Girl With The Replaceable Head, Cumberland Arms, Newcastle. Many parts in each song, stop start and counting silent bars, in awe of Lindy Morrison doing that with few rehearsals, with an Australian flight in the mix! 'I have notes' she said casually. 💜 A total treat evening.

Girl With The ReplaceableHead at The Cumberland Arms Newcastle. Lindy Morrison on drums. 🥁 This one had huge meaning, she's a drumming hero, I was a little overwhelmed when I spoke to her. 🙏 She flew from Australia to do these gigs, legend!!

Post rehearsal The Girl with the Replaceable Head.

Ok I look a bit tired, so jet lag after brutal flight and rehearsal was 6 yes 6 hours and the Cumberland is sold out and only 6 probably now only 5 tickets left The Waiting Room London. But I’m gonna look great, I’ll get a fan for my hair, you’ll see.
