Dear @AndrewGeorge_ I’m lending you my vote with @MVTFWD. My top issues are the NHS, the environment and housing. I hope these are priorities for you, too.

Please don’t betray us again. Had the LibDems formed a coalition with Labour in 2010, there would have been no Brexit.

@oliver_shergold @BOBindieband @MatthewHudITV @kelvyn_1970 @Edwardmetcalf4 Vote BOB?!*

@JohnyNocash ‘I’m not an evil man; on Pancake Day I lent you my frying pan.’ Nice.

[Richard Blackborow @RichiePin]

Thank you to everyone who has bought the book. I’m delighted for @JohnyNocash who did a great job. Thanks also to @i40publishing for making it happen. BOB helped with the photographs and the CD, but the rest is all John’s work.

[i40Publishing @i40publishing]

We’re delighted and humbled that the ‘From Banwell to Berlin and Beyond - the Book of BOB’ has SOLD OUT in the space of only 30 hours!

Thank you everybody.

We are in the process of arranging a paperback edition, which will be available for pre-order and delivered in April.

[i40Publishing @i40publishing]

Only 25 copies left at the last count…

A paperback edition will be available soon, although this will not have the free CD with it.

If you want the full caboodle, better be quick!

Such a great band I was lucky to see many times live back in the day and were still fabulous just before lockdown. This book documents a huge part of my life and can’t wait to read it & reminisce. X

[EverythingIndieOver40 @IndieOver40]

So that’s book number 6 from the @i40publishing stable

Not sure myself or @JohnyNocash thought we’d get this far, so I’m immensely proud of what we have achieved. John’s contribution has been nothing short of incredible

No rest though. We have our next book planned for Spring

Ooh, worra performance from the Boy Hartley. 'Order, order!' ...

[Richard Blackborow @RichiePin]

@dustysevens @JohnyNocash @IndieOver40 @i40publishing It is! Not many surprises for you on the CD but a few, I suspect. I think that's the best version of Who You Are, for sure.

[Richard Blackborow @RichiePin]

Just to say a heartfelt thank you to John Hartley and i40 Publishing for creating this lovely book. Who'd have thought it?! #i40BOBbook @JohnyNocash @IndieOver40 @i40publishing

[John Hartley Writer aka Johny Nocash @JohnyNocash]

I’m delighted that my book has finally hit the virtual bookshelves. It’s been three and a half years in the making. The unbounded support and positivity from the band, their friends and family has been so lovely. And thanks Steve too, for your work behind the scenes!

[Richard Blackborow @RichiePin]

@ohnowontdo @IndieOver40 @JohnyNocash @BOBindieband @i40publishing It's a peculiar ol' version of Daymaker, recorded whilst I was still writing it - mumbling unwritten words and feeling my way into it. An interesting curio, though...

[i40Publishing @i40publishing]

We’re live and kicking once more!
Our first book in a while, with more to come, but what better way to resume than with this glorious biography of a legendary indie band!
@BOBindieband @DeanLeggett @RichiePin
