Simple Minds on stage at Nottingham Arena - Sun 24th March 2024

The weekend certainly proved to be a tale of two cities...

The excellent #WFRCentral festival in Derby on Saturday, before an electrifying performance from #SimpleMinds in Nottingham last night.

Thank the lord for music 🖤x

If there's one thing I took from #WFRCentral yesterday, it's you can't understate the transformative power and beauty of a music community in full flow...

Here's to all the music makers, music enablers and music obsessives.

Yesterday was officially A Grand Day Out at #wfrcentral

Nice to catch up with my #bleepbloopfriends, shoot the breeze & listen to some great live music. *Every* set a doozie.

Tx to @werrafoxma.bsky.social & @jamesthornhill.bsky.social for organising it - you did us and yourselves proud.

Cheers 👍

Waking up after a wonderful day at #WFRCentral yesterday.

Thanks so much to everyone who came up to say hello. Great to put faces to many names on here.

And a huge THANK YOU to @jamesthornhill.bsky.social & @werrafoxma.bsky.social for the invite, plus kudos for arranging such a special event.

🙏💙x

And that’s me done. Cracking day in all, cheers to @werrafoxma.bsky.social & @jamesthornhill.bsky.social! #WFRCentral

@mariauzor.bsky.social demonstrating why she is the universe boss at #WFRcentral @werrafoxma.bsky.social @jamesthornhill.bsky.social

The split venues haven’t given Maria Uzor the crowd she probably deserves here but she doesn’t seem to care one iota and brings the performance #WFRCentral

Resonations for days #WRNTDP #WFRCentral

I’d like to take this opportunity to state that, despite what my kid says, I’m NOT obsessed by @warringtonruncorn.bsky.social and that the fact I’m seeing them for the SIXTH time as I write this is pure coincidence… #WFRCentral

You know what, pals? Music is pretty fucking sweet #WFRCentral

I’ve not seen so many middle-aged men nodding since the last time the Garrick turned down women members… #WFRCentral

Back at Déda for the second half of Donahvur’s set. Walked into a blissful updraft the minute I stepped through the doors… #WFRCentral

Hoofed it over to Dubrek’s to see Pale Stranger bring all the bleeps, all the bloops, some glistening sweeps, some crunchy swoops #WFRCentral

It might sound like I know what I’m talking about when I say that the addition of the Buchla has fundamentally changed @FLCartographer.bsky.social’s sound but it has. I don’t, though. Makes it more spacey, if that helps? #WFRCentral

After seeing him do the same set last night I probably should have swerved @sulkrooms.bsky.social today & checked out someone else but IT. IS. SO. BIG. SOUND! #WFRCentral

It’s time.

I’m in Déda in Derby and it’s a lovely space #WFRCentral
