Gated reverb is still the king after all these years. Deal with it. 😜

TV is worse off than it was 20 year ago. There are too many channels, which means ad revenue is spread thinly, meaning we get repeats ad nauseum. ITV is no longer regional. Streaming and VOD has ruined linear TV, which has killed a sense of communal viewing. It's a mess.

The village of Roughlee, near Pendle Hill, once home to Alice Nutter, victim of the Pendle Witch trials. She was no more a witch than you or I. RIP Alice ❤️

Penny Henry, who was an integral part of the team at the Haçienda in its very early years, died in the early hours of this morning. She'd already made a massive contribution in the scene around the Magic Village and the 8th Day some dozen years earlier. A very gentle soul. RIP.

The amazing Penny Henry, superwoman + queen of the Haçienda, has passed away. It was an honor to talk with her for 'I Thought I Heard You Speak.' The world is simply less without her in it. Rest in peace and love, Penny. ❤️ @WhiteRabbitBks

Remembering my mum Penny Henry who died yesterday. She was a co-founder of Manchester's first whole food coop, manager at the Haçienda, a healer, and deeply connected to the Manchester music scene. I will miss you P.

So sad to hear of the passing of Keith LeBlanc. Keith was a phenomenal talent. Worked alongside him on the Zillionaire sessions, where his creative spirit and passion helped mould the sound of the record. He was a pioneer and dearly missed. #ABC #ABCMartinFry #keithleblanc

An #Otwituary for drum legend Keith Leblanc You sit down to play; the kit becomes an orchestra, a symphony of drums, super-heavy, hi-hat like a ticking bomb, paranoid snare and depth-charge toms, kick-drum beating rebellion in sixteenths, no compromise, no sell-out, no relief.

I have a particular fondness for the 83/84 period of @onusound history, partly the emerging electronic tech, but also much because of the amazing contributions of Steve Beresford. So I was sorry to hear he is having difficulties now. Best wishes Steve! gofundme.com/f/musician-need…

… another titan of local radio dismissed. While I have much to say about Beswick, and what it has to do with OTW, I’ll save that for another time and place.
The End of an Era Tonight as Allan Beswick Broadcasts His Last Ever Phone in Show on BBC Radio Manchester. I’ve been a Fan of Allan for many years with His Northern Dry Wit. We won’t see the like of Him again. Sad to see BBC Local Radio becoming anything but Local 🗣️🎙️📻🎧
