Exiled Gooner now found on the East Bank at Aldershot Town ⚽ | 90s Indie/Britpop 🇬🇧
Motorcycle memory lane… Rockers Day at Ryka’s Cafe back in 2018. #CafeRacer #Rockers #ThrowbackThursday
I made my annual trip to Retro Festival in Newbury 🇬🇧 Hundreds of classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, and scooters were on display in the Berkshire sunshine. ☀️ We finished off the day watching Ken Fox’s Wall of Death. 🏍️💨
Currently reading The Birth and Impact of Britpop by Paul Laird. It gives a fascinating account of one of the most exciting eras in 1990s British music, exploring the bands, the culture and the lasting impact of Britpop. A great read for anyone interested in the music of the era.
Spotted these two beauties outside the café this morning. Couldn’t resist stopping for a photo. #Vespa #Lambretta #VintageScooters
Pleasantly surprised to find this reduced at HMV. I’ve been listening to Miles Kane a lot recently, and after two spins I’m hooked. “Love Is Cruel” and “Slow Death” are the real standouts for me. #VinylRecords #RecordCollector #VinylCommunity
Finally reading Peter Benchley’s Jaws after loving Spielberg’s film for years. I’m fascinated by how different the novel is. #PeterBenchley #Jaws #Books
Game one. Att. 937 @theshots.bsky.social 1-3 Oxford Utd Here’s to away days, home nights, and plenty of football. ❤️💙 #ATFC #TheShots
Modern railway architecture at Cambridge South. #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Cambridge #Architecture
First visit to The Brook last night to see Britpop royalty Gene, brilliantly supported by Edie Bens. A fantastic venue and a superb night of live music. #Gene #EdieBens #GigPhotography
2016. My Triumph Bonneville. Still one of the best bikes I ever owned. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphBonneville #Motorcycles
A photo I took on a visit to @butserancientfarm.co.uk I was experimenting with black & white filters and loved how it transformed this shot. The contrast, textures and shadows seem to bring out a whole different atmosphere. #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Skulls #AncientBritain
A perfect day in the sunshine at Lydden Hill Race Circuit for day 1 of the Lydden Legends Festival! ☀️🏁 #MotorSport #RallyCross #GroupB
Just finished The Five by @hallierubenhold.bsky.social. A fascinating and refreshing take on the Jack the Ripper murders that focuses on the lives of the women rather than the killer. Brilliant social history and highly recommended. 10/10. #TheFive #BookReview #SocialHistory
A surprising find today – this jumping spider has been identified as Philaeus chrysops, a species native to southern Europe that occasionally turns up in the UK. #NaturePhotography #Arachnids #JumpingSpiders
Looking through some old photos and found this Vespa from Newbury Retro Festival last year. #Vespa #ModCulture #ClassicScooters
82 years ago today, Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy. Today, we remember their extraordinary bravery, sacrifice, and the freedom they secured for us. #DDay #DDay82 #LestWeForget
30 years ago today, Ocean Colour Scene released The Day We Caught The Train. The cover featured a very cool Vespa scooter owned by Steve Cradock. Still one of my favourite singles ever. #NowPlaying #OceanColourScene #Britpop
One of my favourite photos from this season. It really captures the passion of the fans at @theshots.bsky.social Even during a dismal 5-1 thumping by Solihull Moors back in January, the support never stopped. #UpTheShots #NationalLeague #FootballCulture
☀️ Afternoon vibes sorted 🇯🇲 Blasting this absolute classic @trojanrecords.bsky.social Rock Steady compilation in the sun. Alton Ellis, Phyllis Dillon, Desmond Dekker, Lee Perry, The Ethiopians, The Paragons… pure sweet soulful Jamaican gold. #NowPlaying #Reggae #TrojanRecords
Saturday night spins with Fine Young Cannibals – The Raw & The Cooked. “Good Thing” still hits hard, that video takes me straight back to the late 80s/early 90s when my brother was deep into the scooterboy scene. #NowPlaying #FineYoungCannibals #RecordCollector
This to me is one of the best hard rock albums ever made. Ronnie Montrose and a young Sammy Hagar were absolutely immense — massive riffs, huge energy, and zero filler from start to finish. “Bad Motor Scooter” is a monster of a song! 🔥 #NowPlaying #HardRock #RecordCollector
Anniversary gift from my girlfriend hitting the turntable ❤️🎵 Wasted On Youth by The Molotovs An album I have been eager to add to my collection, and the first listen didn’t disappoint. The blue vinyl looks incredible! #NowPlaying #TheMolotovs #RecordCollector
Picked up this absolute 90s gem in a Dorset charity shop. 💿 Mother Nature Calls, the second album by #Cast. #NowPlaying #Britpop #90sMusic
