Infopro, currently working on an NHS EPR, but this is mostly music, theatre, arts, Sheffield, cats & a bit of leftish politics...

Also, @Sheffiness on IG for anyone who likes fuzzy phone gig pics
Nope. Not going anywhere today.

I don't think John Lewis want me buy this...

Also they closed their Sheffield store a while ago

CMAT, live in Sheffield last night.

A fantastic feel good show, high energy, great singalong tunes, and such an incredible stage presence. Loved it!

Tonight's gig is CMAT at the Octagon (sold out)

Should be enormous fun!

Btw, this is what hearing loss can look like... 0 to -20 is apparently considered adult normal. Seems my left ear is crap at low frequencies, my right is crap at high frequencies, and both are rubbish at mid-range (conversation, etc)

Protect your hearing folks (and your kids' hearing)

And here are Ash last night (phone pics this time)

They played with gusto, my only beef being the inordinate number of tall people 😂

Ash in Sheffield tonight

Pics from the last time I saw them, at Tramlines festival in 2011, the halcyon days of council-funded free live music

The Mojo cover CD is excellent this month. I mean I guess it should be, as a 'best of', but nicely curated selection and sequencing too.

Discovered a couple of new (to me) artists too.

Billy, demonstrating how we all feel at the fag end of a gloomy, cold, wet November.

CD packaging.... is it just me, or does everyone else feel the pain of differently sized and formatted cardboard sleeves?

Whilst I'm happy we're using less plastic these days, just make them all the same size so I can store them easily!

These 3 that I got this week demonstrate the problem...

Brogeal, earlier tonight at Sidney & Matilda in Sheffield

Fantastic! Honestly, the best 15 quid I've spent all year.

I'm a classical music novice, but like to dip my toe in now and again, and was very lucky to attend this via Tickets for Good.

@musicintheround.bsky.social are always quality events and very accessible. Loved the choice of scores played at this one.

Ska special, tonight on Sky Arts

Featuring Madness, The Specials and Pauline Black... great mix of concert and focus footage

According to Wikipedia, yes he did. Some other brief context too, on who else made calculations.
