Some craic at our #Beatles #Revolver bash in Lisburn tonight. Hearing Tomorrow Never Knows thundering around the big arts centre speakers was quite the thrill. Seriously Fab friendly sell out crowd and all. Even my boy Dan turned up. I have trained him well! Lol

So the great Bob Weir has left the stage. A road warrior for more than sixty years and a rock solid rhythm guitarist. Will play some choice Grateful Dead tracks on Tuesday night’s show. What would you like to hear? #BobWeir #TheGreatfulDead

I’ve always loved #MarianneFaithfull but this beautiful doc from @juderogers.bsky.social on #BBCRadio4 stopped me in my tracks when I stumbled upon it driving home tonight. Thoughtful, revealing and deeply moving it’s a really gorgeous listen and well worth seeking out. #ParisWithMarianne

On January 10th it’ll be ten years since David Bowie left us. Seems mad doesn’t it. On Monday 12th I’ll be having a night on the radio show to celebrate the man and his music. So what’s your favourite Bowie tune guys? Let me know here. #davidbowie

This is a truly astonishing episode of a truly great 70s series. Seriously dark and diabolical goings on..the devil himself even weighs in at one point..allegedly! Lol. Mary Whitehouse less keen though. Her outrage played a big part in #TheOmegaFactor getting shelved.

This was a great show with instant playlist. How crazy to have been alive when music like this was actually in the charts. I well remember being at a pre social media school gate and someone announcing that The Jam had gone straight to No 1
