Puzzling audiences with a combination of caustic dischord-style post hardcore sneering indie rock and tongue-in-cheek classic rock tropes, all tied together with vivid, slice-of-life lyricism.They've put out three records on Venn and Big Scary Monsters respectively, which have all had nice things said about them. So park up and bend your ears back...  enjoy  Pop over to the website (www.onthehuh.org) it has lots of links to other bands stuff and venues as well as a link to an ever evolving Spotify playlist of Norwich bands material compiled by pod producer Reuben Andrews called La musique de Norwich.chin chin

He shares his writing process for Let's Look Back and why and a team effort turned him into a fan of his own record. Caleb and Joe bust out a few shared tour stories, they coin the term "dog poverty" and we hear how Caleb balances, separates and combines his two practices, poetry and music.

Today we are going to be doing something completely different. We're not going to talk about insurance. Regular listeners will know that AdvantageGo has been a great supporter of the Voice of Insurance since the early days of the podcast. But you might not have known that this excellent technology company is also an important backer of UK military charity, ABF The Soldiers' Charity. AdvantageGo is an associate Sponsor of The Soldiers' Charity's Annual fundraiser, the Lord Mayor's Big Curry lunch at the Guildhall in London, which is a fixture attended and supported by many in the London Insurance market. It's the Soldiers' Charity's work we want to showcase here, particularly a highly successful programme the charity funds in the field of pain management. So I'm going to introduce two services veterans, Russ Kirby (pictured bottom right) and Bernie O'Toole (top right) who have both been through the programme. Russ is a Navy veteran and Bernie was in the Army. You may find parts of their accounts distressing, but I would encourage you to continue because you will be rewarded with a great story of empowerment and optimism. The pain management programme has given them their lives back and you will feel their positive energy as they recount drastically reducing the painkillers, or dispensing with them entirely and regaining the confidence and optimism to look forward to productive and satisfying future lives. As Bernie says – the programme works and it's worth its weight in gold. NOTES For worldwide listeners, B&Q is a major UK DIY store.

Mary Currie is one half of Flaming Tunes, the UK DIY duo she formed with Gareth Williams following the dissolution of his band This Heat. Their fragile, ramshackle pop songs stand in stark opposition to the apocalyptic post-punk of Williams’ better known group, and have remained a cult favourite since their original release as a cassette in 1985. While Flaming Tunes' music has been made available officially and unofficially several times, its most recent reissue from Blackest Ever Black went out of print in a flash. That will change in the near future with an upcoming edition from Superior Viaduct, which fans will surely be excited to learn more about in this interview. Mary has remained musically active over the years but rarely spoken publicly, so our conversation was a truly special experience. We hope you enjoy beguiling the hour with us!

Hi, I’m Stewart Spinks and welcome to Episode 98 of my podcast Beekeeping Short and sweet.This week saw the completion of the Top Bar Hive build, we’ve once again been battered by Winter storms, and excitedly, we started the Honey Paw Langstroth Hive project, so stay tuned for all the latest updates.Get the very latest podcast as it's released by visiting www.patreon.com/norfolkhoneyCheck out Honey Paw Hives in the UK at Modern BeekeepingHoney Paw outside the UK can be view at Honey Paw HivesBefore we get started into this week’s podcast I want to give a shout out to Honey Paw Hives who are very kindly sponsoring, in part, our podcasts for this active season. You’ll hear lots more about Honey Paw Hives as we go through the season and lots of the podcasts will feature the Langstroth Poly Hives as most of our YouTube videos are going to be based on the season-long collaboration we have with them.I’ve had these hives for a couple of seasons now and I certainly wouldn’t have agreed to another collaboration with them if I didn’t think they were great products.Here in the UK you can find out all about them by visiting the website of Modern Beekeeping where the full range is on display and outside the UK take a look at the Honey Paw website itself and of course, I’ll put links to both websites in the podcast notes that accompany this week’s show.Honey Paw Poly Langstroth Bee Hives, designed for beekeepers because they’re designed by beekeepers.This month seems to be really racing away, January seemed to stretch out way ahead of me and whether it was the New Year hangover or something I don’t know but we barely seemed to trip into February and here we are with just over one week to go before it’s March and the Spring equinox will be upon us and we all know what happened here in the UK last year, I have pictures of swarm cells to prove it!With all of that in mind, I decided it was time to get stuck into several projects as if I don’t have enough to be going on with. The major one is the Honey Paw and we’ve been making up brood bodies and nuc bodies ready for painting which we started today actually. To be honest these are pretty much the only thing you need to make up as everything else comes preformed and ready for painting. There are a couple of exceptions which I’ll talk about another time but mostly, we just put a little polyurethane wood glue on the joints and pushed them together.So today we set about painting the boxes, being polystyrene you need to be careful what paint you select or you could find your precious hive parts dissolving away! I opt for smooth masonry paint basically because I can get it in big tins and normally someone somewhere is selling off old stock in some drab colour that no one wants.This week it was the turn of UK DIY store B&Q, they had an offer on a Dulux weather shield masonry paint listed in the green section of their website filter system. It looked a little light and was called “Frosted Lake” so I pictured a kind of light or pale green colour.The best thing was it was really cheap so I got three 5 litre tins of it.Turns out that “Frosted Lake” is actually “Baby Blue” and not Green at all. Oh well, never mind, it really isn’t that big a deal, too late now anyway as we’ve given pretty much everything a first coat, including my nephew who came along to lend a hand. I think he got more paint on his hoodie than on the hives which is why it’s always good to give young relatives back to their respective parents at the end of the day. We painted a total of a dozen floors and roofs, 36 brood bodies or deep boxes, 12 feeders and four complete nucs, basically a floor, nuc body and roof.Al

As the guitarist in both TNS folk-punk favourites Matilda's Scoundrels and new sludge punk band Haest, as well as one of the organisers of Wotsit Called Festival, Dan Flanagan is one of the most active members of our current UK DIY punk scene. I've been meaning to catch Dan to record a podcast since we first got started, but we finally managed to make time while both in Slovenia at Punk Rock Holiday! Where better to record than on an deserted beach in blazing sunshine, with our feet dipped in the crystal clear river, surrounded by stunning mountains? Although the scenery is idyllic, you can definitely hear our hangovers in the first section of the podcast, and I struggled a bit with my battered vocal chords. Fortunately, Dan's capable of stringing a sentence together, and we get onto a proper discussion of festival antics. We talk about the joys of Punk Rock Holiday (including Mad Caddies, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Comeback Kid and Almeida), as well as Manchester Punk Festival, Pie Race, Wotsit Called Fest and all kinda of other shenanigans. We begin by saying we're not doing to bad on the hangover front, but you can definitely hear the wear and tear in my battered vocal chords and the difficulty in stringing sentences together. You can hear us verbally wake up about 20 minutes in! These are the tunes we played: - Matilda's Scoundrels - Mr Martyn - Haest - I Didn't Throw A Single Stone And Still I Got Pissed On - Bootscraper - The Family For more information, visit www.shout-louder.com.

On today's thoroughly entertaining episode, Sarah is joined by Danny Cummings and John Holt from Fair Do's. These tongue-in-cheek Northerners have been an important part of both the UK DIY punk scene and the wider European skate-punk scene since 2009 so we were delighted to speak to them, especially as they get set to unleash their stunning new album Leopards (which you can order here https://lckjw.eu/FDleopards). We learn why their bassist is a weasel, why a stage catching fire doesn't mean the end of a show, and they share the story of their foxy new video for their single, Closing In. We also discuss KNRD Fest, touring with After The Fall and Death By Stereo and, erm, morris dancing. Finally, they also completely throw their bandmate Dave Speechley under the bus on the personal worst section of the podcast, telling two fabulously embarassing tour stories. Probably serves him right for being such an disgustingly good guitarist. These are the songs we played: Closing In by Fair Do's (from the album Leopards) Bates Motel by Mute (from the album Thunderblast) Cents Less by After The Fall (from the album Eradication) We strongly recommend that you all pick up the new Fair Do's album Leopards from Lockjaw Records right now: https://lckjw.eu/FDleopards If you enjoyed the podcast, why not also check out our written interview with the band: shout-louder.com/2018/06/21/fairdosinterview/

This is a monologue I wrote about an anxiety attack I had in the UK DIY shop Screwfix. This isn’t a very polished piece — it’s really a stream of consciousness I just wrote without much thought for editing and making it logical and beautiful. Maybe that is quite apt, as what goes on inside my head often isn’t logical or beautiful (at least in the generally perceived interpretations of these concepts!) This is a link to the original blog post: https://medium.com/ministry-of-change/dont-cry-in-screwfix-a-glimpse-inside-my-head-21bcb6643822
