#NowPlaying So much that could be said about this classic album but you should just listen to it Richard & Linda Thompson - Shoot Out the Lights (1982) #RichardandLindaThompson #ShootOuttheLights #RichardThompson #LindaThompson

Why is Manchester's city centre so short on green space? Within the inner ring road there are very few green areas, with those that we have not proving universally popular. Geospatial expert Helen McKenzie dived into the data for us... 🧵1/n

On this evidence, Robert Jenrick clearly has what it takes to address one of the challenges facing this country... the curse of insomnia! Have you ever seen an audience so obviously fighting hard to stay awake! Blue Tie Guy is definitely losing the fight😅

We are having a huge 50% off sale, because otherwise we are closing down. We are a tiny family business in a super town, the shop has been here 30 years, we took over 15 years ago, it is our everything. Choose collect and pay at the shop, via our website. highstreetbooksandrecords.com

Shops like this are what stand in the way of high streets becoming bland, dystopian hellscapes of vape shops and nail bars. Get your books and music from here. They sell online too. 👇

#NowPlaying... 'Barnsley's finest South Moluccan string band' (as Andy Kershaw described The Deighton Family, and who am I to argue!). 'Acoustic Music to Suit Most Occasions' (Rogue Records, 1987). Joyous stuff!

Er... Cambridge United FC, I'm not sure that this banner image is saying quite what you intended! #CUFC 🙄 I mean, I know the lads haven't made a flying start to the season, but still....

I'm compensating for the disappointment of missing the UK #SacredHarp Convention by wearing my FLEETING DAYS 2024 (imaginary) festival T-Shirt. Great line-up, eh? 😅

I don't like it when my favourite radio presenters move on! 😠 Elizabeth Alker's voice was so perfect for my Saturday morning. So I'll say a slightly grumpy 'thank you' to you, Elizabeth, and I'll forgive you, with bad grace (so long as you can still be heard on BBC Radio 3...)

#NowPlaying The Phenomenal B. Wrigley (1971, Topic Records), the Bolton Bullfrog, a true original, who I had the good fortune to discover in my youth at Cambridge Folk Festival. And a local hero hereabouts where I now live. #BernardWrìgley
