I do like them, though π
If you're thinking of joining us at @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central) next week (22nd April) to hear from @sarahhilary.bsky.social, it would really help us if you could reserve your free space. That way, we can make sure we're set up in the right room. Thanks!
A wonderful evening! π₯π
Any excuse to get this masterpiece back out... it's time for Hull KR v Hull FC, the 250th derby meeting π
I've got a lot of time for Karl. I don't think I'd want to be the one delivering the news, either π
We naturally think about the musicians, but I bet the ripples the place created have touched all manner of industries and made endless lives that little richer.
Really sad news... a giant and legend of #Hull ... it's not just the entertainment Jacko gave us, which has been plentiful for me for thirty years, but it was (and still is) a place to find your tribe and be inspired to create friendships and relationships for life.
#RIPJacko
Better than the game? Brighouse looked (and played) like a pub team.
I'm not 100% sure of the timeline, but it seems Leeds identified the Core Shopping Centre as not needed and simply got on with demolition. Maybe that's simplistic re funding, but we don't seem to be smelling the coffee as a city.
And it's perfect.
Jealous!
Here's how April through to June looks for us. Thrilled to be welcoming @sarahhilary.bsky.social, @brookmyre.bsky.social and @jaystringer.bsky.social to @hulllibraries.bsky.social (Central and online) ππ
A couple of snaps from last week's @hullnoir.bsky.social with Harriet Tyce. We packed almost 200 of you into @hulllibraries.bsky.social! π
It's turned into a bit of a monster π±
Just over a week until we welcome Harriet to @hullnoir.bsky.social at Hull Central Library. We are at capacity so please, if you can't make it, let us know. You can still join us via the livestream www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hull-noir-...
Been talking about the joy of the first Beatles film π₯ A Hard Dayβs Night- subject of my new book on The Wordβ¦ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...
Wonderful afternoon in Bridlington with East Riding Libraries talking to @alexnorth.co.uk as part of the Springfest programme.
Be rude not to have fish and chips afterwards...
Great read, Angus.
This is a rather excellent spot. It's @markthomasinfo.bsky.social back in the Humber region...
Was also tempted, but eyewatering pricing...
There's a future for her in turd polishing.
Excellent morning spent gathering my thoughts and writing questions ahead of talking to @alexnorth.co.uk next week.

Great overview of Harriet's new novel. We're thrilled Harriet is our next @hullnoir.bsky.social guest at @hulllibraries.bsky.social, 18th March. We're completely sold out, but the free livestream is available.
Excellent idea.
A story in three photographs... Hull KR are World Champions, beating Brisbane Broncos 30-24... ππ
