Come with us to Sedgefield #comewithus

It's Bandcamp Friday again, so if you were thinking about buying some new music today is the day. Show your support for grassroots artists by buying their music!

Tonight 7pm GMT 🪬🕉✌🏻 Tune in and ask those questions! Might do a bit of AMA as well! #Live #LiveStream #Livemusic

Less than ideal lighting conditions, to say the least, but @shapeofwatermusic.bsky.social were fantastic on Sunday night at Aatma. They will be doing it all over again on Friday 14 March at Satan's Hollow, Manchester - be there!

Sheffield’s Dorothy Pax has closed, and the UK’s grassroots music venue sector has lost another safe and nurturing space for live music, talent development and social connection.

We're testing out our new radio host tonight which means you can join Chris back on ERB Radio for his Rock Revelation tonight at 8pm where he will be spinning music from Bokassa | Elvenking | Brainstorm | The Lucky Trolls | Atomic DieselPunk | Zac and The New Men | Dead Writers | Dark Chapel...

GET US BACK ON THAT STAGE!!!! 🪬🕉✌🏻 www.bluenation.co.uk/tour/

Is there something in the water or in the genes that causes Swedish Bands to produce such melodic infectious music I blame it on ABBA If uplifting goodtime US style RnR is your thing give this a go Itll have you rockin up in Ikea quicker than you can say Meatballs open.spotify.com/album/0ud2bm...

This is what live music means to me: being lost in the moment, standing next to a stranger and having an instant bond, experiencing an artist putting their heart and soul into their performance, being able to forget the every day sh1t going on in the world. This is what recharges my battery.
