@CATorp I found that trolley at the back of the shed few weeks back. Doubled up lugging boxes of records home from le bateau. If that trolley could talk.....!

[Craig G Pennington @CraigGPenno]

@CATorp The challenge today is to make the next 10 years as noisy, inky, joyous, hilarious, ludicrous & raucous as the last.
We will forever be purveyors of dreams.

@CATorp Wow. That’s a worty set of mockups there Torp. A peak into my early forays into design in word!

[Craig G Pennington @CraigGPenno]

@CATorp And because of the years of love from the artistic minds of our city - the writers, photographers, illustrators & dreamers but most of all, Liverpool’s musicians & many geniuses we’ve featured over the years- Bido shines like a big pink blancmange of musical hope, 10 years later.

@CATorp I thought it’d be great if we could do 10 editions, though I knew my credit card would be maxed out after a couple so that was probably a long shot.

[Craig G Pennington @CraigGPenno]

@CATorp I had no idea what we were doing, it wasn’t a ‘business’, there was no ‘exit strategy’. And that was part of why it’s stuck around.

It was built on a gooey, hopelessly romantic idea of Liverpool. A musical love letter to our city.

@CATorp The ‘it’ll never work’ naysayers, the enthusiastic encouragers, the ‘print-is-dead’ pragmatists, the wide-eyed Mersey-adoring evangelists.

[Craig G Pennington @CraigGPenno]

@CATorp It’s a hazy fug now, but I do remember the excitement of that time, the build up to the first issue. Meeting would-be contributors which would blossom into decade-long friendships.

Straight Outta Compton is a classic album – but did it help or harm 'Hub City'? https://t.co/rLkinaoRWO

Musicians only received 12% of the music industry’s $43 billion revenue in 2017. The majority of the revenue was pocketed by record labels, streaming platforms, and other middlemen.
