In case you missed it, here is a petition today re. State Visit invitation to trump : you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

A great venue in #Coulsdon. #livemusic #Croydon #GreaterLondon

🎶 If you are undecided who to vote for, listen to the album ‘Ordinary People’ by Blue Nation or watch them on YouTube. Fantastic live band #livemusic 🎶

I saw the 2022 show that Dudley Ross orchestrated. Superbly talented musicians, fabulous show celebrating Jeff Becks life in music. And we’ll be in for treat with this new show in #Canterbury next month. #livemusic malthousetheatre.co.uk/event/nicola...

Here is a petition asking for the Trump #StateVisit to be cancelled : you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

#NoUKStateVisit

For some reason the UK King got our PM to hand deliver an invite to the US President to a state visit here. (Which was excruciating to watch.) As that man is no statesman, King Charles should rescind that invitation. Appalling behaviour from an appalling man.

🎶 Head over to YouTube to see Neil talking, playing guitar and singing. Ably assisted by the lovely Coco-Kenobi 🐶 🎶

Good news! Kate Bush releases a new track - her first original piece since 2011. Not so good news! It’s a recording of her deserted studio. Worse news! The Government plans to allow AI to plunder musicians work with no compensation to creatives. #IsThisWhatWeWant? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I’m one of 1,000+ artists who are jointly releasing this album today to protest the UK government’s planned changes to copyright law, which would hand the life’s work of the UK's musicians to #AI companies for free. Don’t legalise music theft! #IsThisWhatWeWant? isthiswhatwewant.com

Our energy bills are going up by 6.4% apparently due to; Bulk price rises War in Ukraine High winter usage. In France electricity bills have dropped by over 6% since Xmas. Due to…….🤷‍♂️

#PublicOwnership of our essential services is surely the only way forward in a democracy? The only stakeholders should be the public.

If you’ve been to the #TuesdayNightMusic Club in #Coulsdon or live in the area you can vote for them in the #UKBluesAwards These awards mean a lot to the talented artists and the venues that host them.Support local venues and the fabulous music that enriches our lives 🎶🎫 #TheBlues and so much more.

Keir Starmer, Wes Streeting and NHS boss Amanda Pritchard all want more private sector involvement in our #NHS Let’s get out there and show them the public wants to keep our NHS public! #KeepOurNHSPublic #PatientsNotProfit

There is no such thing as ‘cheap food’. There is always a payback. Cruelty to animals, bad employment practices and contamination of the land & food stuffs are a few of them. I’d trust food from the US even less now that their governmental handbook has been torn up.

A taste of the upcoming album. #KebMo

Happy days for #WaterCompanies and their #shareholders

Hopefully something good may come if this. #LED #headlights #driving www.whatcar.com/news/headlig...

Looking at the results for a search ‘led headlights, found at least 70% of the latest posts had pastel cartoons for their avatars. Made me wonder if these are AI generated accounts. Or maybe it’s ’a thing’ now? And I sound 100 years old…😁

LED headlights should be illegal. If you need to attach the sun to the front of your car in order to see at night your license should be revoked because you can't see during the day either.

RAC's research says a significant portion of drivers are reporting regular instances of being dazzled by oncoming headlights. Driving at night with these ruddy LED headlights is like Encounters of the Third Kind - I’m not sure if I’m being blinded by aliens or just bad lighting! #blindedbythelight

#livemusic in #Coulsdon 15th July #DomMartin and band are playing at The Tuesday Night Music Club. UK Blues Awards winner and nominated again this year. 🎫 will go quick, so best 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️🎶

This is the UK’s idea of social housing. The people that benefit the most are the owners and shareholders. A bit like PFI, water and energy companies. We have a Labour government and yet no socialism.

@frflashpointfan.bsky.social Hi. Hope all’s well. This November is looking good eh? 😃 Hopefully we’ll see you at some point 😊

Here the link to vote in the #UKBluesAwards2025 #TheBlues www.ukblues.org/awards/
