A rare bit of self promo: I've been doing a radio show for the last year on a local station and it's been loads of fun. I've also devised the most "Me" feature, where I ask musicians to talk about a memorable place and pick a song. Here's an archive:

Very briefly out of retirement to highlight my local council doing banging work on the old Twitter dot com here. Absolutely sassy champs š«”
Today we proudly raised the rainbow flag at Newcastle's Civic Centre, standing in solidarity with LGBTIQA+ communities and against homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia. š#LGBTQIA+
Hereās my latest radio show, with a guest spot from @mtmiseryband, plus new and recent music from @Tanukichanmusic, @fieldmusicmusic, @jeanines_nyc, @soundcarriers and a bunch more.

Absolutely fantastic thread. Endless consultation. Very little action.
We will share some thoughts on this in a week or so. In the meantime hereās a š§µon @NewcastleCC transport consultations.
Hint: we need more action more than we need more consultation.
I went for a run in Leazes Park last night. Thereās a loud contingent of football fans who are, once again, insisting itās run down and in poor state. Meanwhile, those of us who actually live near it and use it on a regular basis are just out, enjoying a beautiful autumn evening.
I enjoyed this new video by Type Ashton youtu.be/wkhxWteFcQ4?si=3zg9ā¦ - obviously US infrastructure is always on the extreme end but it made me think a lot about my own walks to school.

More space for folk to move along the coast car-free, enjoy the views, fresh air, and local bars, cafes & shops, a more accessible and safer seafront, and a step towards a cleaner, greener, better future.
š to the first phase of the seafront sustainable route!
