Happy birthday to Mike Scott. Here's a joyous video of him singing his Waterboys classic The Whole of the Moon with a bunch of very excited schoolchildren in Clifden, County Galway, Ireland in 1987 youtu.be/pLAPOxpXGkU

I asked a while back about people collecting (and now missing) physical tickets and it got us thinking

After a couple of months of work we made something amazing (props to tech wizard Andrew and our Merch Market team)

Wildly excited about seeing @edwyncollins.bsky.social not once but twice in next few days. A real hero of mine. Found a few of my old fanzines and a family heirloom with an Orange Juice flavour this morning

Released 40 years ago today, how it all came about could fill a book. Soon forgotten at the time by all but a few. Always grateful for the love still out there though, what a difference (a mere) four decades makes 😄
