Brilliant Dave! ❤️

Rules for writing a blog: Short, snappy, concise, not overlong. I’ve broken all in the blog post below! 😂 david-brayley.co.uk/thank-you-for-… You might need a cuppa for company…it’s long! But wanted to thank @malpope @TonyCottey @hookjameshook @RichardMylan & friends for my book launch.

So, it’s finally here…official launch date of George’s Fateful D-Day! I couldn’t be happier with the pre-sales reviews & am so excited that people can now get their hands on a copy: ylolfa.com/products/97818… If your child likes sport & is studying WWII, it’s the perfect book!

Not long now… Available for pre-order here: #detailBullets_feature_div" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">amazon.co.uk/Georges-Fatefu…

I’ve written a tribute to the career of the hugely talented @malpope, who celebrates a wonderful 50 year career in music at @ArenaSwansea soon. Read it here: david-brayley.co.uk/these-are-the-… Tickets for Mal’s concert featuring the brilliant @ElioPace here: swansea-arena.co.uk/shows/mal-pope…:

When I was a kid @altontowers was the place to. Now I’m here with my own kids it’s quite frankly an absolute shambles. Smiler shut all day and most of the other rides suffering numerous breakdowns. In fact there’s even a massive queue at customer services if you want complain 🤷‍♂️

#Saturday Supergroup…week 2. I’m looking to build a four piece legends band..one spot available each Saturday for four weeks…& this week it’s lead guitarist…any era, who’s the best ever lead guitarist in a band? I’ll vote for Johnny Marr. The winner TBA each Sunday morning. Who you voting for? #Supergroup #Saturday

@lee0969 A bit late to the party mate but from my era it has to be Slash. The top hat, the Jack Daniel’s and pure string strumming talent 👌

#Saturday Supergroup…I’m looking to build a four piece legends band..one spot available each Saturday for four weeks…starting with the lead singer…any era, who’s the best ever to front a band? I’ll vote for Joe Strummer…the winner TBA each Sunday morning and the final band line up in a month.Who you voting for the front spot? #Supergroup #Saturday

@lee0969 For stage presence and charisma it has to be Jagger. I also considered Bonn Scott and Freddy Mercury has to be in with a shout?

@lee0969 @nikidoog @CarolynPPerry @blackenrho @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkamanD14 It has to be Man on the Moon. What a belter of an album Lee. In fact I’d go as far as today it’s in my all time top 5.

On this day in 1993 No 3 UK Album Chart REM “Automatic For The Play” A really difficult LP to pick from as IMHO it’s a classic. I’m choosing “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight” how about you ? #@jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @CarolynPPerry @blackenrho @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

@lee0969 @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog That’s Entertainment for me mate. A classic.

On this day in 1982 New at No 2 UK Album Chart The Jam “Dig The New Breed”…..the end of the line really…how on Earth do we pick off this live treasure. I’m going for “In The City” how about you? #1980s #TheJam #Mod #PaulWeller #BruceFoxton #RickBuckler @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @CarolynPPerry @blackenrho @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

@davidbrayley @Casllwchwr1 Mate that’s amazing! Superb effort 👏👏👏

Well, today I did a thing. Along with the wonderful staff of @Casllwchwr1 , I walked from Noah’s Arc children’s hospital in Cardiff, to Swansea. 40 miles. All in the name of a great cause. If you’re able to support us with a small donation..thanks 🙌🏻🙌🏻 justgiving.com/page/casllwchw…

A mates daughter, how this for 15 years old….IMHO some serious talent here #guitarist #Rock #Talent

As kids, @rapclassroom & I played football for rival Swansea clubs, Darren for Fairwood Rangers, me for Dunvant & Three Crosses. Despite being different age groups, playing for these teams gave us an early connection with football that has lasted our lifetimes. A couple of …1/6

@lee0969 @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @CarolynPPerry I’m going for Heart of Glass for its disco / electro crossover sounds. It still sounds modern by today’s standards!

On this day in 1985 No 83 UK Album Chart was Blondie “The Best Of Blondie” Now I know it’s a compilation….but damn it’s so good we will make an exception. I’m choosing “Hanging On The Telephone” and you? #1980s #Blondie #DebbieHarry @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @CarolynPPerry @blackenrho @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead

Well, the day I post my new film to promote ‘Champion of Champions’ to coincide with start of @LeTour #TheTourDeFrance, Twitter goes into meltdown! In the vain hope someone might see it, I’ll share again. Please RT (if that’s still possible!) Buy here: amazon.co.uk/Champion-Champ…

The @LeTour starts on Sat where @MarkCavendish attempts to create history. Surely there’s a children’s book inspired by Mark’s career out there? Well, yes there is, actually…‘Champion of Champions’. Use this great race to inspire your young reader. amazon.co.uk/Champion-Champ…

@lee0969 @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @CarolynPPerry @blackenrho @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead Great choice Lee. I’m going with ‘It Must be Love’ as I vividly remember that video as a kid. It even featured a cameo by Labi Siffre who wrote the original.

On this day in 1982 No 3 UK Album Chart was Madness “Complete Madness” How do you choose from this masterpiece ? I’m picking “Cardiac Arrest” what about you? #Madness #1980s #2Tone @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @CarolynPPerry @blackenrho @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead

Fast and the Furious 9 is officially the worst film I’ve ever seen. They go into space in a car. #uttergash
