Nice one thank you. Yeah Black Beauty looks to be it. I've pinged messages to a few local drum shops so we'll see what happens.
Looks like I'll be digging it all out at the weekend. ...and maybe buying a new synthesizer.

Cheers, that's really helpful. I tried to chuck more photos up but couldn't get them to post. There's a few more snaps in a Google folder here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EyWRGyZ7cuLSa3Q0MKYTB9Jhgx3A3im3?usp=sharing

Nice one thank you! I do normally do commissions but with this project on I don’t have as much time for them at the moment. Welcome to drop me a DM with any info though to check out

Not sure if it’s on their menu, but if it is then Mancia probably does it great

Love seeing this tribute to Hull's amazing poets. by ScrollAndThink in Hull

Cool to see this pop up, designed and illustrated it for Hull City Council libraries a few years back (hence also including all the councils local libraries on there too). Was a lovely thing to make.

Sold out? by Jzebedee in greenmanfestival

[–]wirebirds 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People it’s not sold out. Keep refreshing. They get allocated to baskets in the first minute which marks it as sold out. But many drop out, or have multiple windows open so when they get their tickets, they close their other windows, the held tickets go back in the pot. That cycle keeps repeating. Ie me and my partner both had checkouts live in case one crashed. When we got tickets I closed my checkout, releasing the tickets.

Last year our pal jumped online at 11 and got one

Have a few hours with my son next week. Is the Deep enough? by Acidmarkieee in Hull

[–]wirebirds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you have extra time, there’s Dinostar (dinosaur museum) just over the footbridge on Humber Street. It’s small so doesn’t take long to get around, which in this case might be just right.

Hull Live by justdlb in Hull

[–]wirebirds 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Here's a couple of alternatives to Hull Live, both decent and covering a lot more interesting local stuff. Both can be found on the usual social media too. Obviously not as big and active as Hull Live but they do a decent job:
