Ok I've been thinking for a while now about leaving this platform given who owns it and their right wing propaganda - suggestions please of an alternative platform that folks are using?

"the team put their hearts and souls into making Birmingham the coolest place on Earth, curating the best programme with the most experimental alternative acts from all over the world. Supersonic is also a wonderful place where community is more than a word" @SleepingShaman

In case you missed it - here is a film from @supersonicfest 2024. It was very stressful to make it happen but by far my favourite Supersonic to date. Huge thanks to everyone involved!

I know I'm probably screaming into an echo-chamber.
BUT WTAF!!!!

It's hard to believe that in Dec we'll be celebrating 25 years of Capsule. It's not been easy but I feel privileged to be doing what I love and with people that I love from our team to artists to our amazing audience.
Join us supersonicfestival.com/event…
Excited for this one! Only Midlands show for the mighty @ChatPileBand on the awesome label @TheFlenser

While I'm no fan of Coldplay I am heartened to read about this 10% donation which will go to the @musicvenuetrust to support grassroots music. More of this please! So vital.

Great to have un.procedure opening our Bohren show on 9th Nov at the @BirmCons
un.procedure are a experimental-electronic outfit made up of synth player Piera Onacko, drummer Nathan England-Jones and Mercury Prize nominated alto-saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi

It was so good that even security were joining in with @supersonicfest. Hands down the most diverse and inclusive music festival to exist in Birmingham! Take a bow @LisaCapsule 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥
Can't really express how emotional @supersonicfest was this year. I don't think there are many events where I'd feel comfortable dragging myself around with slipped disks in my back and feel safe doing so. Again a diverse line-up, I don't know how they do it. But they do. ❤️
The Mermaid’s live music scene in the 1980s was typified by anarcho-punk, hippies, and animal rights activism
@HistoricEngland commissioned a short film about our @homeofmetaluk project 'At The Mermaid'
