mastodon 4.7.2Endowed by nature with a magnificent beard and a fine voice, it was almost inevitable that Piers would grow up to be a folk singer, and so they have!
An old internet bloke of longstanding, they've served time as a sysadmin, ISP operator and programmer before RSI buggered up all those career paths.
These days he's most likely to be found at home working as his wife's carer, or streaming #FolkSongs on Friday nights at https://youtube.com/pierscawley/live

Mmmm… that chorus where she’s just behind the beat. Gorgeous! #totp
No hand guitar solo! I don’t think The Stranglers are taking miming very seriously. #totp

@snaprails@cupoftea.social if you have to hold onto it to keep it on, you’re not wearing the hat – the hat’s wearing you and thus you’re disqualified from Top of the Hats. #TOTP
I dunno what it was about Billie’s pop career that made Russell T Davies cast her in #DoctorWho, but I’m glad he did. #totp
FUCK OFF KIPPER! #totp
I concur with the last line of that THIS LIFE trailer: “Stop it” #totp
Hang on, Yes? In the singles chart? #totp

@losttourist@social.chatty.monster So you’re saying Billie is to Britney as 5Star are to The Jacksons? #TOTP
Dancing audience + a proper CHOON from an artist who’s never gonna play the show? Must be eighties #totp

@denny@boing.world yeah, but you just know that’s not the vibe they were going for. #TOTP
Competent, but dreary. Almost belongs on one of the 2000 episodes. #totp
Phonebook singer ahoy! #totp

@losttourist@social.chatty.monster now I want to hear her version of Cum On Feel The Noize! #TOTP

@jess@blop.social I think the stage manager keeps pushing her to the front ‘cos the hat’s better than most of the acts. #TOTP
Play Alf! #totp
Well, that was two hours I won’t get back any time. Thanks for making it more entertaining everyone! #totp
You just know that, if they were available then, the Kipper’s Raybans would be creep glasses. #totp
This vocal isn’t live. Not holding the mic like that. #totp
Who let this pyschedelic nonsense out of the sixties?
Well done! #totp
FUCK OFF HUTCH! Or is it Starsky? #totp
Tommy Vance: a DJ with a voice others would kill for, delivering the most anodyne possible links.
I used to listen to his rock show on Friday nights, so I know he could do way better than his #totp presenting work. His heart’s clearly not in it.
All the eighties cliche instruments on that stage right now. #totp
CHOON! Also, more whiplash. #totp
Bloody hell! Even Stevie stands up for the key change! #totp
CHOON! SINGER! #totp
Voice is there. Songwriting, not so much. #totp

@losttourist@social.chatty.monster Or even Noddy having a crack at Smooth Operator. #TOTP
It’s not prime Stevie Wonder. But it’s still Stevie Wonder and, dammit, that chorus is unstoppable. #totp
Bloody hell! They’re *playing* Yes!
Jon’s voice is amazing. With almost coherent lyrics, which is remarkable all by itself. #totp
I can’t bloody stand Paul Weller for entirely irrational reasons, but this is still a banger. #totp
Well, we’ve found the worst track of the night #totp
Bon Jovi still sounding remarkably like he did in the eighties. Liking this more than I expected, but then I’m a big fan of Slippery When Wet (despite the fucking awful title) #totp
NO. Just… NO. #totp
Love Wham!’s #totp appearances. They always look like they’re a gang of chancers delighted to be getting away with it.
While performing absolutely peerless pop songs. Which is the exact opposite of so many other acts.
