@deanchaffer Thank you! This particular project is about our family record collection but, who knows, I might write on similar topics in the future!

[Amy McCarthy @behindthecritic]

Interviewed my dad for a project I'm doing and let him talk about his relationship with an album. After the interview I mentioned I already knew his answers because I can tell by playing the record which ones he played the most. Relieved his interview didn't prove me wrong 😂

We're at the huge anti-fascist rally in Sheffield city centre.

Around half a dozen far-right activists were here earlier, but were quickly driven out of Barker's Pool by a crowd of around 500 Sheffielders.

[Amy McCarthy @behindthecritic]

@GeorginaKerr_ You had such a good view! I'm glad you got to see them they were so good. I found the set quite emotional tbh

[Amy McCarthy @behindthecritic]

Tramlines was amazing yesterday. Highlights were finally seeing the Magic Gang and Yard Act. Maximo Park were as amazing as ever and I was a bit emotional during By the Monument
