I don’t know what happened above. The text I wrote isn’t showing. This is the second time of posting.
I have been totally disorganised and bought a ticket for Hannah’s gig on Monday July 8th at the Green Note in […]

It’s a thumbs up for Bruce and Western Stars from my wife and I.
She has been reasonably forgiving of what for me has been his lacklustre output, post The Rising, but we’re both taken with this and I think it […]

I got my bassists confused. @Twang was writing about John Wetton not Ric Grech.
Both of course played with Family and it’s that connection I blame for my confusion.

I must try the Aldous Harding and Weyes Blood albums. Not sampled as yet.

Traffic in September 1971 on the tour promoting The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys at Liverpool Stadium (strictly the correct answer is support band Seatrain, which featured the brilliant Richard Greene). It was a […]

I have been disappointed with the year so far.

There is only one record I love unconditionally which is The Imperial by The Delines (with thanks to @SteveT for pointing me towards Rough Trade who were selling […]

Sticking solely to the area of music:

Paul Kossoff
John Lennon
Nick Drake

The Bill used to do a lot of filming in Wandsworth too.
They almost caused a major incident when filming a scene in the (former) Arndale Centre car park.
People with guns were spotted in the car park with the […]

I have remained unmoved by Radiohead’s music, but I like their attitude.
Well played, chaps.

Much of “Shaun Of The Dead” was filmed at the bottom of our road in Crouch End.
I thought a new pizza shop was opening, but it was set dressing for the film.
I was asked to hold back from going round the cor […]

A bit like Bamber (above).
After being made redundant I had taken an opportunity to move to London at the end of 1981, when a mate from University had a vacancy when the guy who had shared with him had moved […]

And Cracker Barrel cheese!
Do you hear that? It’s the ghost of James Robertson Justice.

Which would make it the 2/3 of a pint that thinks it’s… how much?
In the adverts the barmaid used to plonk a “glass” on the bar that was probably something like 4 gallons.

Tigger is right. They were also places to socialise. You could hold a conversation with your friends and not have to yell and repeat yourself because pubs had carpets and plastered walls, that may or may not have […]

Hai-Karate and Brut Splash it on

Did he combine the set with the crossword?
“So my next song will be – Obese Monkees singer – 4,3,3,3
Any thoughts?”

Lou Reed at the Albert Hall to promote his Ecstasy album.
I have mentioned this before and another contributor denied he played with his back to the audience. However my wife confirms that I did not imagine this, […]

This particular album may be slickly produced but that is unlike Dave Cobb’s usual working method, which is about catching the moment rather than seeking the perfect take, with endless retakes.

Rolling Stones – Black and Blue Tour, 1976 at Bingley Hall, Stafford.
Worst Stones tribute band I’ve seen.
