No great surprises to be fair.

Happy birthday Bill, sounds like a cracker!
My favourite birthday thing is that the number of people you need in a room (assuming random birthdays) to have more chance than not (I.e. probability that 2 share a […]

Amen to them.
The list of road racers is even longer.
A cruel sport, at times.

My Dad and my mate Shain’s mum, obvs. And my Nan, bless her. I’d give a good portion of everything I own for 10 more minutes with any of them.

Non-family, Kirsty MacColl, Douglas Adams and William Dunlop.

Sensational response, even if I had to read it twice to get it…

I doff my cap, Sir.

I’ve always thought that AC/DC were very early adopters of wireless guitar tech. I guess they wanted to be able to walk the venue with Angus on Bon’s shoulders, and you’d need a long lead… Hardly any bands had […]

MSG (the Michael Schenker Group) at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham. The first proper “rock” gig they had there. December (I had to look it up) 1982, I was 14 and a half.

I saw Meatloaf at an Australian winery a few years back. Seemed like a decent idea at the time, but my God, he was terrible. Almost like he was 100% trying to sing the songs “wrong”. By the end, advanced […]

Prostate biopsies aren’t much fun, are they? To say the least…
Good news though, on the all clear. I’m on that rollercoaster too, elevated (totally symptomless and “discovered” incidentally to […]

I have many spreadsheets, but then I am an accountant.
No, please, come back….

By that logic, I’m almost married to Emily Lloyd or the Goss twins.

Steve Earle has many a reason to love him, but this is bottom of that list.

Even he can barely contain a snigger as he belts out “People say you’re cool, but I think you’re hot…”

Nice one @Gatz.
I have the album coming today I hope, but the tour hasn’t gone anywhere near the East Midlands, sadly, despite having seen her in the past in Nottingham (various), Leicester and Lincoln.

There’s some serious rubber on the runway at 3.23…

What did Bill Bailey say about the “You know it’s true/Everything I do/I do it for you/And I will be true to you…”etc lyrics?
Could easily do better with a 4 pack of Stella and a rhyming dictionary.

He was also complicit in the whole “Bad News” thing.
They actually actually had a proper slot at the Donington festival in 1986.
It was toe curling.

She’s supporting the Psychadelic Furs later this year. I have no idea what to expect.

I assume the first one had “suck” first?
As to the lyrics for RTBC3, who knows?
