@tomandrewstew Nice frame

So, what have I learned that I can say about this painting? Well, firstly, it’s quite big, which is excellent. If it were very small, microscopic, then hardly anyone would be able to see it. Which would be a shame.

Get some Sheffield gigs in your diary with our Tom's music picks. A gothic antidote to Christmas music. The original hardcore punks. Experimental folk. An immersive drumming and light show. Post-punk faves Dry Cleaning. And, of course, a brass band > ourfaveplaces.co.uk/our-picks/musi…

I can no longer make the @naimabock show in Leeds on October 22nd. Happy to sell 2 tickets for less than face value if there's any takers?

What a way to finish off the season 😍 Our 1st XI winning the league at home! Thank you so much to everyone who has helped and been involved with the club this season, it’s been the best!

There’s tons to look forward to in our Tom's Sheffield music picks. The return of the original, iconic Sugababes. A brand new festival. A San Francisco punk band. A fusion of psychedelia, desert rock and folk. And lots more > ourfaveplaces.co.uk/our-picks/musi…
