More of my @ElectronicMagUK reviews now on the Haunted Generation website... hello Witchboard, Drew Mulholland, Garden Gate, @subexotic, @DreamDivision_, Megalithic Transport Network and Clevelode...

Had a nice little run on the Haunted Generation winter badges, but they're back in stock at the @hauntedgen website now - fill your (welly) boots. Ideal stocking filler, etc... artwork by the great Jason Heeley, as ever.

A MESSAGE FROM SIMON PERKINS!

[Bob Fischer @Bob_Fischer]

Need a present for the 1980s fantasy fan in your life? Give our @mulgraveaudio play 'Fellfoul' a go... written by @andreworton, starring @ajacdodd and with music by Belbury Poly, it's a love letter to classic swords and sorcery. 10" vinyl comes with John Ridgway comic artwork!

[Bob Fischer @Bob_Fischer]

Join me and the weird Whitby lot for a very festive Back Of The North Wind! These nights have been a delight all year - songs, stories and all kinds of impromptu oddness with such a nice vibe. Be lovely to see anyone on Fri 12th Dec, when I'll be opening my Box of Delights...

[Bob Fischer @Bob_Fischer]

A week on Sunday! Join our free @mulgraveaudio party at the @who_ray shop in Stockton. Sandra Kerr singing songs from Patchwuff and Bagpuss, Fellfoul's @ajacdodd, Simon Perkins star @Ethanwarren2003 and all three head Mulgraves being seasonably jolly. Ho ho and - indeed - ho.

Looking for a festive gift for 1970s weirdies? My play 'Simon Perkins' Lurgy' is set in 1974 and is stuffed full of vintage oddness, Open University modules and references to Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. Out on CD from @mulgraveaudio...

"I’m just seeing a shadow. But it’s definitely a humanoid figure..." Actual young people go 1970s haunto, bridging the gap from Rainbow to Pokemon. I spoke to Orbury Common for @ElectronicMagUK and it's fresh on the @hauntedgen site...

Want to know how Paddy Kingsland's track 'Reg' became the B-side to the 1973 7" single of the Doctor Who theme? Of course you do. My @ElectronicMagUK chat with Paddy is fresh on the @hauntedgen site...

I had a very funny chat with the mighty @rideox4 for @ElectronicMagUK when their ace 2024 album Interplay came out, and I've just put it on the @hauntedgen site. Baked-bean flavour crisps all round...

Ever wondered what happened to the cast of 1970s ITV drama The Paper Lads? We managed to reunite them for first time in 50 years! I LOVED doing this... a full hour with JG (Tony Neilson), Baz (Gavin Kitchen), Ian (Andrew Edwards) & Gog (Peter Younger). all filmed by @IllegibleMe

[Bob Fischer @Bob_Fischer]

My original 1983 @fightingfantasy books don't often leave the house these days, but if you come to the Haunted Generation @hauntedgen night at Glossop Labour Club this coming Saturday, you can play my own 1984 DIY Fighting Fantasy adventure 'The Moonstone Dungeon...'

[Bob Fischer @Bob_Fischer]

COME TO GLOSSOP ON SATURDAY AND I WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THIS FENCE
