A belated quick plug for my Top 200 Tracks of 2025. With playlists for all the main streaming sites including Qobuz. 👂 bit.ly/TopTracks2025 Hat tip to the mighty De La Soul. My hastily cobbled together collage of 2025 ruins their joyous return 'Day In The Sun' #thankyoudave

“We want our sandwiches” 🥪 The Costa sandwich man took a wrong turn into #LFC fans who’ve been stuck in Birmingham for over two hours. 7 hours to get as far as Brum #YNWA

On more of a down note, this is The Victoria 😢 A blank space where once there was a wonderful community venue. Many a great night with @e17RnR_books , @Gen_Echo_echo and others. Plus there are currently no plans to restore The Granada’s famous Christie organ. 🎹

Credit to all those who spent countless hours/years campaigning to save the building. I was more closely involved with @TheMillE17 & trying to save the dog track, Standard Music Venue + other local treasures but it’s a privilege to have played a part. ❤️

It’s survived raves, church cults & all sorts of Antics but 22 years later, the Granada is back as @sohotheatre. It was a thrill to be invited with members of @saveourcinema & @McGuffinFilm to tour the restored building inc. those beautiful Theodore Komisarjevsky interiors.

@kaibosch Good luck!🤞 If you managed to successfully build an Ikea wardrobe, top 8 should be no bother :)

@MusicLikeDirt thank you neil!!! means the world x

Which of these 90 acts would you pick to play #Glastonbury 2025? The Emerging Talent longlist is out. Good luck all 90 artists but especially to my three picks Barbican, @kaibosch & Ghuraba || الغرباء musiclikedirt.com/2025/03/26/whi…

Major hat tip to @el_Truento. 'Dubs from the Neighbourhood' is on the list AND the gorgeous album art was sort of errr 'remixed with love' for the playlist thumb. Obviously the original is the best :-) Go give Performer Dub a listen christoph-el-truento.bandcamp.com/track/performe…

Twas Christmas in #E17 yesterday as @edsheeran was spotted, guitar in hand, heading into one of the posher houses near Wood Street to film a festive vid. Whatsapp curtain twitchers report Ed as wearing 'a santa top with no trousers on'🎅👖 An odd/amusing thing to make up🤷

@GlennFlannery I’ll search your YouTube after the gig. Tonight’s going to be special

@MusicLikeDirt @BDolanSFR Seen B at least 6 times at this stage, Dublin, Cork, Edinburgh, Reading, he even let me film the Dublin gig on Kill the Wolf (check my YouTube), I’ll be there tonight for one last go

TONIGHT - London’s last chance to see one of the finest rappers ever, @BDolanSFR The man knows how to both rock the crowd and give them goosebumps. I’m as excited as the first time I saw him… 📼 youtu.be/cmTGDxSjYO8?si… 🎟️ iambdolan.com

@joshuaidehen80 Wise words. She will have little use for my undies & treasured music t-shirts. I don’t have a lot of occasions where I need handbags. Hopefully they’ll be reunited. Thankfully my Benin City sweatshirt & Benefits t’s are not lost Just about to see B Dolan & Scroobius 😃

@MusicLikeDirt @Benefitstheband Ah this is great. I, too m, have had a bag mistakenly taken off the train. I have also mistakenly taken a bag. Neither was fun.

Finally seeing @Benefitstheband live was the pick-me-up I needed after my suitcase, packed with me & my daughter’s clothes, was taken on the train back from Cumbria for the gig Fully expect to see Benefits on those ‘Must-Hear’ album lists for 2025 👂🏽 youtu.be/VzMdRRChTLs?si…

@Benefitstheband Sorry the tweet was mostly about my dirty undies, rather than your ‘dirty beats’! Hope the rest of the tour is a triumph and you’re back to your little girl soon. I missed you at Glastonbury because I didn’t think my then 7-year-old was quite ready to expand her vocabulary…

@MusicLikeDirt Thanks for watching us Neil! I once had a bag “mistakenly taken” on a train too. I still miss the Cleveland Browns t shirt that was in it two decades later. Hope they enjoy the washing.

I first saw him was when he unbelievably guested up at a charity gig I ‘organised’ at The Standard E17 in 2011 🙏🏻 Shortly after this vid I was dismantling the borrowed drumkit mid-show. Can’t thank B enough & apologise for his hell like journey home😳 youtu.be/CSb9yFH5Rlw?si…

The case that was left near mine had been on an EasyJet flight from Paris to Edinburgh on the 7th of October and has a hairdryer, handbags and boots in. A weeks worth of clothes is pretty much my entire wardrobe 😂

I think the suitcase was taken accidentally as a similar case was left once the train emptied. If you were on the Glasgow to Euston Avanti West Coast train on Friday & have a weeks worth of our dirty washing, Kuromi t’s & an enormous water blaster gun please get in touch 🤷🏻‍♂️
