“Mr Pharmacist” Pen, ink and crayon over monotype 2025 (37cm x 27cm) Liverpool Homœopathic Dispensary was built in 1860. It became a bakery in 1888 when the ornate shop front was added. It’s now a bar. Its architect, Peter Ellis, is one of the fathers of modern architecture. It’s not listed😳

Great to see a good helping of ‘Zerox Machine: Punk, Post Punk and Fanzines 1978-1981’ by Matt Worley at The Holloway in Norwich. A book I edited for @reaktionbooks.bsky.social and which is also a superb alternative history of Britain in the 70s and 80s.

I really enjoyed my Wild Twin conversation with Sophy Roberts for her podcast Gone to Timbuktu. Sophy's book, 'The Lost Pianos of Siberia' is a brilliant read and her new one, 'A Training School for Elephants' hits the shops today. Hear our conversation here: www.gonetotimbuktu.com/jeff-young

Bill Fay RIP. Absolutely crushing news. The loveliest person I ever interviewed. Gracious, wise and humble. I wanted to write a book about him. He declined, believing the commitment involved would take him away from his great joy in life, composing songs. Fly on Bill. Those songs will last forever.
