Me. 1969 in our front room with the medal haul from my Sunday teams last two seasons. Oh, we were good. As number 10 I nicked my fair share of goals too. (My brother made the sword on the wall at his school woodwork) #ComeAndGetMeMillwall
My son was out in Soho today and saw a copy of the punk fanzine I was involved in 1977. £100! We put ourselves on the cover after CBS withdrew permission to feature Clash. See also me and Mark on TV at the time with not much idea what we were doing...but neither did anyone!
Me and Mark Perry, Sniffin' Glue fanzine moguls, Oxford Street London 1977, during the great Summer Of Punk.
Went for the second time to the excellent Bowie: You're Not Alone show at the Lightbox, Kings Cross. On the way out is a display of all his albums. OK, I kind of get why the first one is sort of sidelined, but how odd one crucial release is missing altogether:
Me, Chris Difford & Glenn Tilbrook. We have known each other a VERY long time...
Tell you what would be a brilliant Bowie EP? His best longer tracks, gathered. All brilliant. Width Of A Circle SweetThing/Candidate/Sweet Thing Station To Station Blackstar
Ringo's birthday. That time you made him laugh. You can take that to the bank, eh?
Village People singer/writer Victor Willis has died.I met him in New York in 1979 for an NME cover story. He was wry and realistic about his fame. The others, he explained, were good people but all replaceable dancers. He had a voice. Not too far off Levi Stubbs' if you listen.
You know "Being For For The Benefit Of Mr Kite"? Pablo Fanque's Fair? Well this is Pablo Fanque. (Born William Darby) On tomorrow's Treehouse we have a sighting of him. patreon.com/dannybaker
The 22nd! On this, the day I was born in 1957, Todd Rundgren was having his 10th birthday party. And yet here we both are.
I'm glad Gary Lineker looks comfortable on ITV. Hope he fares better than Morecambe & Wise when they crossed the floor. I must declare an interest here. He consulted me before making this momentous decision.
Those either outraged or perplexed by the BBC deciding to base their WC coverage in Salford might like to know that even when the tournament was based here, they were nowhere near the action. #DavidColeman.
All the best @whisperingbob.bsky.social On the road we were very much what Crosby & Nash might have been.
One week to the opening fixture of the 2026 World Cup. Mexico v South Africa. Which is the same game that opened the 2010 WC. I was there. Geoff Hurst gave me this ticket to it. Yes Geoff Hurst.
The national amphitheatre begins to fill as a gleeful nation gathers to witness the Spurs, West Ham fight to the death. Strong "Are You Not Entertained?" vibes coming from the capital today...
After 15 months and countless gigs (72) the Ahoy Hoy tour ends in Basingstoke tomorrow. Last knockings, kids! Everything must go! One more time. dannybakerstore.com
Pete Townshend. 81 today. Seen here up to no good in the early 60s when car tyres were more valuable than silver or premium bonds
These are the spies identified from the Southampton scandal. They have not been seen since Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - and they dragged the plot of that down too.
Years back, I came up with an idea for BBC Sport Relief that fans might put on their bitterest enemies shirt if enough was pledged to charity. It was a great, uncomfortable idea and raised untold money. Here's me & Ray Winstone biting the bullet. #ShirtOfHurt
The first ever, inaugural, debut, initial TREEHOUSE LIVE was held last night. Utterly sensational. And to further confirm that we are indeed a show like no other - it wasn't recorded. It just happened and that's plenty. Otherwise, we're here: patreon.com/dannybaker
What a North & South! Northampton tomorrow, Southend Thursday. Then London at the weekend. Sunday sold out but handful left for Saturday night, kids! No show like it. dannybakerstore.com
I have just returned from Taormina, Sicily. While walking the backstreets I stumbled across the parking space belonging to The Child Catcher from Chitty Bang Bang
Manchester Salford tomorrow night. A few left in the balcony! No show more full, dynamic or indiscreet. 3hrs! 3Hrs! 3hrs! 50 Years In The Game Laid Bare! dannybakerstore.com
@royalgreenwich.bsky.social Bravo! You now have SIXTEEN traffic signs at the little corner of rarely busy Langdon Way and St Johns Park Road - with another 8 just yards away! Congrats guys! They said it couldn't be done. Always thinking of the environment eh?
Look at this bullshit. This is what football supporters have been cowed into accepting in their game by television. Fuck off television. And every single vampire creep who is an apologist for this nonsense
Settling into a new house. Tonight our dogs, TinTin and Bear, just started going barmy for no apparent reason. Then we saw the apparent reason. #Neighbours
