This should be the anthem for MEMPHIS. No other song has ever captured the grit, swagger, and soul of the city quite like it. TALIBAH SAFIYA: Black Magic (Visualizer) youtu.be/3F5z6wNSk-o?fe… via YouTube

Me and Rich had an adventure on the Trent yesterday with Les on his MV Ruffian. It involved a duvet, a propeller, a tow, and a hoist! All in a day's work on the river. The scenery was beautiful. Have a look and find out more here: openbridgeshull.com/2025/07/19/adv…

When I say I’m in love you better believe I’m in love L-U-V… Released 52 years ago today, the great Sylvain Sylvain signed it for me a few years ago, so sad they’re all gone now. #newyorkdolls Scottish Post-Punk PunkAndNewWave Nina Antonia

Yesterday I got some paints and brushes and painted the afterlife. Is there such a thing? I had a vivid dream about it and wanted to capture it. So, this is it, what it's like when you die. The guitar is a Strat btw. Nice to know there are Fenders in the next world.

Coming soon, Rich and I have a new Open Bridges project for this year’s Heritage Open Days festival. It’s free to subscribe to get everything as we post it. You can sign up for free at the link: openbridgeshull.com/hulls-river-br…
