Stuart Maconie

Anyone know if This City Is Ours is coming back ?

One for @markradcliffe.bsky.social & @stuartmaconie.bsky.social ... Colin Jeavons: the voice behind one of the finest interstitials on your #6Music extravaganzas #BarnabyTheBear

Then there's the @wimbookfest.bsky.social on Sunday with @stuartmaconie.bsky.social www.wimbledonbookfest.org/events/samir...

Been listening whilst tidying up some work this afternoon. Vaguely remember the original Alan Turing Prom but the reworking LP is an *incredible* piece of work, really stops you in your tracks. Outstanding radio via @stuartmaconie.bsky.social. Very highly recommended. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Great choice of featured album tonight Stuart - Branca was and is unique.

I’ve just finished listening to a glorious celebration of J B Priestley by @stuartmaconie.bsky.social on 4 Extra. I stumbled across it, pure serendipity, I would never seek it out on an app. That’s how radio works and what a significant linear audience is going to lose.

Thank you! Great night

Ahhh thank you. I loved putting it together. Why not take it on an autumn walk with you soon @bbcsounds.bsky.social

The complete recording will be given its world premiere along with an interview with Neil, Chris and Alan Turing biographer Andrew Hodges during Stuart Maconie’s "Freak Zone" show on BBC Radio 6Music on Sunday, 4th October at 8pm UK time.

I’m on @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social Last Night Of The Proms talking Prog and Northern Soul Proms, Lennox Berkeley, Dolly and maybe more!!

Freak Zone special soon

So I’m around the Adelphi all day for International Beatle Week talking to @marklewisohn.bsky.social and Freda Kelly. I don’t know if they’ll have my Beatle book so nip to a bookshop and bring it and I’ll sign it!!!

Hello. Matt Berry’s brilliant Television Themes album featured on Freak Zone right now as well as Forest, Julia Holter, France Gal, Mike Oldfield, Ash Ra Tempel, devotional stoner rock, Nordic prog, Turkish psych…..

At the @bbciplayer.bsky.social and @bbcsounds.bsky.social !

Kobo has it for 99p as well for those who don't wish to further line the pockets of Lex Luthor. www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...

Stupidly late to alert you to this absolute Kindle bargain. While stocks last (end August)

I'm at Belfast City Airport and they're playing Starry Eyes by The Records and 'proustian rush' doesn't even come close...

Only 6 days left to listen to my @bbcradio6musicbot.bsky.social #freakzone playlist! Dorothy Carter, Mr Fox, Kali Malone & Drew McDowall, Cluster & Brian Eno, Amon Duul II, Glide (Will Sergeant), Veronique Chalot, Dawn Terry & more. @stuartmaconie.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

This will be fantastic

Let’s hope so, sinister mandarins!

Thank you. It was a special night @bbcsounds.bsky.social @bbciplayer.bsky.social

And I’ll be at @waterstoneskids.bsky.social Piccadilly on Sunday if your kids fancy a drawing session! You can get tix here: www.waterstones.com/events/comic...

If the summer holiday boredom has already hit, I am on telly tmoz doing a drawalong. So that’ll be five mins accounted for at least

#OtD 19 Jul 1984 the Dunnes Stores anti-apartheid strike began in Dublin, Ireland when Mary Manning was suspended for refusing to check out South African fruit. She and 11 others went on strike for three years until the govt banned SA goods stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9108...

The on site barber is having a nightmare

You can make this horror stop by putting the Freak Zone on in 9 mins.

This is nauseating

There are TEN Spider-Man films??????

This track from the new #Squarepusher album (which is absolutely fantastic) gave me real Gentle Giant vibes....The Prog Prom this Saturday live on @radio3.bsky.social with TV and more radio to come open.spotify.com/track/5IzMnm...

Thank you. Do listen again guys

Any chance of mentioning Morgan Rogers?

As a prescriptive linguist, I refuse to accept this semantic shift

I know the Clacton poll is a serious matter (🙄)but I am becoming increasingly concerned about the inaccurate use of the “dogs dinner” idiom. It means ‘dressed up fancy’ not ‘ a mess’. That’s a dog’s breakfast.

If you’re in Ledbury, Herefordshire this afternoon and looking for poetry related kicks, I’m talking about some of my favourite poems at the festival at 4 pm

As @stuartmaconie.bsky.social said, if you’re going to write about the north, whatever you do, don’t define it. www.newstatesman.com/uncategorize...

I mean, I prefer Humanitarian and Renaissance Man but fine.

Wasn’t it? More next Saturday

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social It has returned…

At @bbcsounds.bsky.social obvs!

Love this guys writing, but ‘fear not’ bit arch. Anyway the books great.

I’ve loved the Brazilian national anthem since hearing it tons as a football mad primary school kid during Mexico 70. It’s a total banger

Thank you doc! That’s exactly how I wanted people to listen. But whatever space you can find these next few evenings…it is good honest…listen again at @bbcsounds.bsky.social

This ITV analysis reminds me…must play the theme from Farmhouse Kitchen as an interstitial this weekend

I so have to know what this whisky was

Bless you Jeff...shucks, it was a good show...and you could still have watched the only interesting moment in the football

Delighted that this from @nigetassell.bsky.social has arrived!

Sorry. Second

This. Also, @crosscountryuk.bsky.social, maybe put more than five coaches on Manchester - Brum peak trains rather than apologise for overcrowding on every single trip

Very much enjoyed seeing Raul Jimenez, regular diner at A La Mexicana, Bearwood, get the first goal at the World Cup @alamexicana.birmingham
