I'm thinking Church Bells by the Lemon Twigs is a nod to Big Star's Jesus Christ. 'Ring, ring goes the bell', has echo of Little Donkey, 'Ring out those bells tonight'. Listen and see! Either way, both great songs. Maybe not conscious? @thelemontwigs@BigStarBand
“We’ll never have Alex up there on stage and that’s as sad as it gets. Nobody’s ever gonna deliver these songs like Alex, with his touch. But we all love the music and that’s what counts. Everybody takes it to heart.” - Jody Stephens, Chestnut Hill Local https://t.co/E3kszlyzt7

Tomorrow! Live Rockabilly!

The Sleepwalkers by @scarthomas is my favourite book of the year and I can’t believe I will read anything that I enjoy more in all of 2024. This novel is stunningly good
Country music has been getting a lot of coverage this past week. I believe Beyonce was involved!
So, it's perfect timing that we have Californian country rock queen Sara Petite is coming to Hurst Green Community Centre this Friday, 5th April ❤️

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is too silent about the ongoing war in Gaza. Here is how I see things based on reading hundreds of articles and watching thousands of videos and images about the war. This tweet chain contains my conclusions as a sort of executive summary.
Just a taste of the amazing reviews for John Bramwell's superb new solo album 'The Light Fantastic'. Certainly my album of the year to date.
John will be playing songs from the album, as well some I Am Kloot classics on Friday 19th April at Oxted URC.
