Well that's a new playlist sorted! Fun and interesting piece by @martinoconnor.bsky.social. And a nice shout out for Get It Loud in Libraries. getitloudinlibraries.com

I have only just spotted this post from Robin and it has truly moved me. Get It Loud In Libraries was designed to transform young people's lives by great live music and aligned creative opportunities - so advocacy like this is hugely gratifying. Libraries matter very much, and deserve support.

It was truly incredible, and Get it Loud in Libraries was life-changing for me as a teenager. I got to see so many incredible bands in my home town because of them!

Katy J Pearson has just nailed a lovely, sunny performance - steeped in melody and catchy choruses. As lovely in real life disposition as she is in song....

We worked with Katy in Widnes Library post Covid, and can confirm she is sunny is disposition as she is in song. A real class act.

Self Esteem Glastonbury. One of the most exultant performances,worthy of the original spirit of the festival. Flavours of Kate Bush, Madonna & Laurie Anderson. But neverending originality of Rebecca Lucy Taylor. So proud to have worked with her @loudinlibraries.bsky.social more than any other.

Katy J Pearson sure knows how to navigate a proper pop song. Hooks and melody aplenty. And always grateful she kickstarted @loudinlibraries.bsky.social post lockdown with our first socially distanced gig in Widnes Library #Glastonbury

Got a first live show in a long while since illness. Looking splendid for Luvcat in Barrow Library @loudinlibraries.bsky.social

Luvcat stage, Barrow Library @loudinlibraries.bsky.social

Announcing a cool couple of back to back shows for @loudinlibraries.bsky.social with the brilliant new talent from Manchester - Better Joy. For fans of Wolf Alice, The Cure and those who love a jangly chorus and hook- ridden riffs. More great new indie pop chiming in the book stacks for all ages.

More lovely afternoons in the warmth of the library kicking back to the very best music as the nights draw in outside....

Love working with these melody drenched heroes @loudinlibraries.bsky.social - Stealing Sheep play another sunny afternoon session in the library. Next up, Birko, it's you #libraries #matinees

Beyond delighted to announce a lovely wee winter matinee show in Barrow Library with the super talented Katherine Priddy who is touring with Suzanne Vega this October.
Tix available tomorrow Friday May 23rd 10am www.seetickets.com/event/kather...

Enjoyed the Wolf Alice interview in the Guardian yesterday& pretty fuzzy that they were 'buzzed about 20 people turning up to a gig in Leicester'. But I do wonder if they meant Lancaster or Liverpool (Libraries) as they were quite unknown when we put them on @loudinlibraries.bsky.social back in 2013
