This journey may have started with The Rubettes 1974 album “Where it’s At” ( the mother of the guitarist ran a paper shop up the road from where I lived in 1975 opposite Olympia in London,where I moved with my Dad and girlfriend after he left my Mum) My actual gateway musical drug started in 1969 when I was 7 and ” helped” my Dad on his milkround on the weekends and he paid me extra pocket money to pick up the empties.

I know there are a few here that like The Delines…they have announced a new tour at the end of February 2021 I have a got my Union Chapel ticket (26th Feb) and think I will also head onto Bristol to see them the next night. I have not seen them before as I only got into them after last years tour, so will fill my boots next year!

Union Chapel tickets online now and the rest of the dates online to buy Friday.

Just a heads-up that the Paul Simon: The Life Kindle Edition is on the tax dodgers site at 0.99p
