Can anyone make our twitter header transparent for t shirts etc? Tried chatgpt Gemini etc but they change it from the "Irish Republic" Font 😂
Thanks in advance 🍭
Can I borrow your attention for two minutes ? Wrote this out 200 times and it still feels wrong but here goes.
As a lot of you know my Dad passed on a while back. It massively derailed the recording and release of this forthcoming album (it’s now coming out in May)
But it also really derailed me. My Dad was a complex fella. Full of good and bad traits (aren’t we all). Anyway I wanted to do something that sums up the grief process. How it feels when a particular person enters your head. It isn’t a linear thing is it? It comes and goes.
The album isn’t remotely doomy and im not even sure the original concept was about my Dad, but because I recorded it during his final weeks, it shall, in my mind at least always be about him.
I’ve been told that I should release a different song to this because it’s a bit depressing to be on @bbcradio2 and whilst I love being on the radio, some things are about being true to yourself aren’t they?
When we toured recently loadsa people cried when we played this one and so that gave me the confidence to put it out.
Also my dad would have loved the attention 🤣. He was the bands biggest fan. Always letting me know if we’d had a spin on the radio or where the albums had got to in the chart and giving me his feedback on my demos.
I miss him terribly and if you too are struggling with grief there is a helpline you can ring on 08088081677 where the folks at Cruse can advise and assist you.
Without trying to commercialise something tragic l, we do have a limited number of McClure family front covers of the new album which, my dad would be buzzing about. He predicted I’ll have a no1 day, which is sentimental bollocks but we can but try. 🤣
I appreciate you reading and hopefully you’ll watch the full thing on YouTube
Big love
Jon

Quadrant Park, 1990 — it was part of the same unstoppable wave that was tearing through the North West in 1990.
Madchester energy didn’t stay in Manchester… it travelled. No phones.
No hype pure North West unity on a dancefloor
Leonardo DiCaprio on watching "incredible" Oasis Live 25 show with Paul McCartney:
"...Paul McCartney was actually there and I think they sang a Beatles song. I remember I was in the section next to him and the whole sort of stadium looked back at Paul and clapped for Paul too which was which was awesome. It was a great tip of the hat. So, it was a special night.”
