Great thread one thing that would be a brilliant addition , and I know there’s a few of you do already , but could you all post your gigs in the gig thread. i follow the thread , and while I can’t get to most , I’ll always check location and dates to see if I can get to any.

I always pick up an instrument and make some noises in a general stylee that I think fits. By the time I get it ‘finished’ it’s nothing like I intended, but I will have enjoyed or learned something in the process

here is your/ are your certificates My head is done in trying to save/print as a PDF so that bit will have to wait

or an older Lineker overhead kicking a planet

I occasionally have to do a score out of 10 for each one , then sometimes score it out of 100 to make it more detailed if 3 don't become obvious. anyway I digress ... certificates to follow after my tea , but in the meantime fill your boots

Who'd have thunk it , I got to share the top step this month with @upside downer and @Baloney Balderdash congratulations. As it was a first time for Mr Balderdash , he has had the choice of image for us to work on and compose to, thus... "Here is my suggestion to the image for July. A mystic contortionist, admittedly AI generated (but on my intricate description):" ✅ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded between now and the deadline. ❌ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on ❌ No Bagpipes, Please, I think they would get tangled. ❌ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you.. Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 25th July ... Which in reality, means an early one on the 26th , unless I'm working on a weekend! A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be super duper smashing lovely. Good luck, Have fun

That was a close call all round! It stayed tight at the top with 3 joint winners and 5 joint runners up only a point behind , well done all 👍 With an inaugural spot on the top step I will ask @Baloney Balderdash to send me an image for the July challenge. I shall attempt the certificates this evening

Any more takers to split the vote , it’s tight at the top 😁

Mark radcliffe and Stuart Maconie have show on 6music at the weekends. Lard was Mark Riley , he also has shows on 6 music.

Oddly I thought the crowd noises were subdued this year , almost as if they were deliberately being dubbed out , mic’d down, EQ’d to a murmur or just plain ignored. i noticed it on most shows . loved Radcliffe and Maconey this morning playing highlights and naming the stages 😂

The other day I parked up on the street to find the postie leaving a parcel behind my side gate. I said sorry I wasn’t at home earlier but someone had parked a red van in front of my drive 😁

the lead guitarist played at a reasonable volume ?

nah , no respect for him le grand tosser in my book.

Brilliantly bringing 2 different audiences together at the same time

Isn’t she just , fair play
