#Coventry once had the hottest music scene in the world, so I LOVED digging into its 2-Tone history (as showcased in #ThisTown) for this piece in today’s @theipaper @iPaperTravel 📻 🏁 inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl… @visit_coventry @CovMusicM @WMGrowth @visit_bham @TheBeat
We have a Black Sabbath bench & bridge but we have the literal birthplace of the band being allowed to rot. Its like letting Abbey Rd Studios rot & putting up a Beatles selfie frame. Thankfully likes of @richardpfranks @lylebignon @jezc are finally being listened to (we hope)
#Birmingham has incredible industrial heritage, more miles of canals than Venice and Michelin star dining - but that’s not all. @richardpfranks shares his tips for first-timers here 🇬🇧 weather2travel.com/blog/things-to… @VisitEngland
My word. Lille is a trip that will stay with me forever. This is what following your club away is all about. I fuckin love ya, @emimartinezz1 #AVFC #UTV
PSA 🚨 I have found the world’s worst airport! It is Paris-Beauvais
Love this piece on #Birmingham for first-timers by @richardpfranks for @weather2travel; I'm itching to kayak those canals! weather2travel.com/blog/things-to… @visit_bham

We were delighted to host @richardpfranks and showcase our truly fascinating history and musical legacy here in Coventry. Thank you for your great article Richard!
#Coventry once had the hottest music scene in the world, so I LOVED digging into its 2-Tone history (as showcased in #ThisTown) for this piece in today’s @theipaper @iPaperTravel 📻 🏁 inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl… @visit_coventry @CovMusicM @WMGrowth @visit_bham @TheBeat
Birmingham has such an incredible musical heritage. It is INSANE that our region is letting world changing venues like The Crown rot. They're a licence to print money for the city. Well done to Cov - miles ahead of Brum - on realising the value of its musical identity & history.
Top drawer travel/music writing for @theipaper from intrepid explorer-journo @richardpfranks, partly the result of a smashing recent walk around 2 Tone hotspots in Birmingham with me, Rich and former manager of @TheBeat @johnmostyn inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…
The ambition behind the scenes at Villa is huge. Their owners’ collective worth is well above $10b and everything I’ve read suggests they’re ready to spend as heavily as restrictions allow. This assumption that they’ll be looked upon as a stepping stone by Emery has always felt…
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Unai Emery commits future to Aston Villa by extending contract as boss until 2027. Spaniard happy at #AVFC + club intend to sit down in summer to prolong deal further. Owners see 52yo becoming their version of Sir Alex Ferguson @TheAthleticFC theathletic.com/5438160/2024/0…
More recognition of the influence & inspiration @OzzyOsbourne has had on global music culture. Just a boy from Aston, Birmingham who cut his teeth at a grassroots music venue called The Crown. Now a @HistoricEngland listed building because of Ozzy, Tony, Bill and Geezer!

LOVE that from Bailey He’s shown serious leadership qualities at times this season. This attitude mirrored throughout the squad is what will see us lifting that trophy come 29th May
Feel as if my brother who lives in Lille may have been the only resident cheering the Villa last night. I'm not David Cameron so I won't pretend I'm overly invested but the Villas performance of late is nice to see and my nephews are chuffed. Up the Villa.
@richardpfranks Gets dogs abuse for mugging off the French in a penalty shootout. His response? Mugs off the French in a penalty shootout! Karma is a bitch!🤣🤣🤣
@richardpfranks Hahahahaha! I offer you 280 characters, yet, you nail it in six.
