@bbcintroducing
mixtape on
@BBC6Music
🥹
thank you tom robinson, i owe you everything xxxx
kinda stressed about money kinda stressed that prices for everything are going up and mainly stressed because no one appears to be doing anything about it ???? is this just how we’re supposed to live ????? with a tub of butter eventually costing £47 ?????
BIG NEWS! bloody delighted to be on
@BBC6Music
ALL WEEK on early breakfast in for
@chris_hawkins
💕
shocked buzzing excited
LOVED the show this morn*, back in from 5am tmrw & my guests r the bloody brill
@mhaolmusic
My mortgage has been approved 😭🎉😭🎉😭🎉😭🎉
I could cry, before Love Island I couldn’t even afford to rent on my own, now I’m here, with a mortgage, on my own, before I’m 30. I am so fucking grateful I can’t even put it into words 😭
Okay I’m crying bye x
glastonbury now costing £340 is unsurprising but also concerning
don’t think this is the festival organisers fault, they are just another victim of the current climate, but this doesn’t help the idea that the music industry is increasingly closing itself off to the working class
u know how taylor swift is re-recording all her albums so she owns all her own music
can the remaining smiths re-record all their music w/ rick astley as the singer so i feel less bad giving money to m*rrissey
"the music industry isn't london centric anymore"
na we've all just gotta get a fucking train down once a month if we wanna be considered important enough to be a part of it
one of my fave stories of glasto so far is my mate russ getting to the john peel stage super early cos he thought harry styles was secret set, got to the front & then realised it was george ezra as he came on stage and then couldnt get out so was forced to watch the whole set
I really, REALLY did not think I'd catch Football Fever this bad. Currently on the way home from Hull listening to a World Cup Quarter Final Preview podcast.
Debating upping my game and becoming a full time football fan.
apparently pavement ended up at belgrave and the drummer got so pissed he helped clear away glasses at the end of the night
quite possibly the nicest story ive ever heard about a band
in a shocking turn of events i am covering
@steve_lamacq
on
@BBC6Music
from 4pm today …
well i am covering
@huwstephens
whose covering steve hehe xxx
i am so excited and not at all nervous :) :) :) xxx
people refusing to accept that being from money puts them at an advantage in life is just plain ignorance at this point
yes u can work hard no-one disputes that but having the opportunity to try & fail several times without worrying about financial instability is an advantage
hello! there are some proposed changes to

@northernassist
retire first of their 102 "Pacer" trains with most to go before the end of the year. The infamous units, featuring bus seats, were brought in by British Rail as a temporary fix in the 1980s but stayed on the tracks for more than 30 yrs.
i find it interesting that men always question a woman’s motivation for working in the music industry instead of accepting that it’s for a love of music and nothing else
GUESS WHO’S IN THE RADIO TIMES THIS WEEK: it’s ya gal 💁🏻♀️

every so often i get completely overwhelmed by my love for the city of leeds, the people ive met, the experiences ive had, the community spirit that is still felt despite the lockdown. i love it here, even despite it not being the full chaotic leeds it usually is. 🖤
listening to
@huwstephens
last show on
@BBCR1
tonight. the man that introduced me to
@pabh
and essentially what my life is now. wouldn’t be where i am without either of that lot.
utterly mental that im going to be doing the
@bbcintroducing
show on R1 for the next fortnight.
VERY excited to announce that as of 4th July
@bbcintrowy
is BACK BABY 💫
After three months off air, we’re gonna be back on
@BBCLeeds
every Saturday 8-10pm with the BEST new music from the West Yorkshire region. SO excited to get back to supporting our artists. WE GOT YOU! 🎈
a personal gripe / plea to labels, managers, pr's etc... pls stop sacking off your local introducing show when your artists get bigger
we all work rly hard to support w/ very little resources & its q disappointing when we get looked over when the artists get to the next level
Politics North returns Sunday from 10am on BBC One

@empilbeam
Talking cabinet reshuffle, Labour’s position on Israel-Gaza, Steel jobs plus calls for support for live music venues 🎶
found it incredibly overwhelming on twitter the past 24 hours; reliving past experiences, fears, what ifs...
i don’t have much to add, except, if a woman friend of yours asks you to walk them somewhere when it’s dark bc they’re anxious. do it. don’t question. don’t laugh. do it.
keep seeing people comment under album reviews that have dropped the day of album release saying the review dropped too fast and they’ve not listened to the album like ??? do you not understand how this works ???
was partyin at a weddin last night. bc im poor & didn’t want to pay £200 for a train ticket to leeds, i’ve had to wake up at 6am, walk 2 miles to the train station & will have to get 3 diff trains home.
so what im saying lads, if i can get home, the football can also come home.
why am i ready for bed at 10.05pm im 23 i should be at the pub persuading people to stay out longer, getting ready to book a taxi from brude to belgrave to get a slice and a pint and then heading to call lane COME ON
i am going to sound a thousand years old but i actually like being able to hear my mates speak when i’m at the pub pls turn the music down i just want to enjoy a cold pint and a nice conversation where im not shouting in my friends ear
