Wildly happy to announce that our Hebden Bridge Trades Club gig on Fri 26 June will now have Patrick Fitzgerald performing an opening set! It's gonna be a proper shoey love-in with at least one interband duet, so a special night all round 🥰

We're playing a co-header with JMR in London on Fri 19 June, but I'm afraid the rest of the shows are cancelled. I think the line is 'unforseen circumstances'... but on the plus side MB3 are still making attempts to salvage the Hebden Bridge gig. More info when I have it...
I had a fine old chat with the Record Collector folk on their NeedlePoint pod about shoegaze, and have probably pissed everyone off with one of my Thready Steady Go picks (have to admit to a bit of playful readership trolling here)! 😉

I'll be talking to former Melody Maker journalist Simon Reynolds about his book covering music (and his writing about music) 1984-94 - it is SO well-written, bursting with ideas and spot-on observations.
