My sympathies, Retro – what a shower of b*****ds. Hopefully you’ve seen the last of them.

I had no interest in Kirk Brandon’s Spear of Destiny in the 80s (their major label period) but in the last couple of years, it’s clear to me that they’re one of the greatest rock bands of this century. THIS […]

If ONLY Thompo was Cornish/Welsh, had a bit of a breathing problem and a digital limb replacement – we’d surely be talking then about the Balmoral-boasting Brythonic bionic bronchopneumonic baritone drone-guitar […]

It would never work out… it ain’t why, why, it just is…

Great stuff lads! 😀 The Moondance miserabilist The Gloria glumster The Tupelo Honey lack of funny The Back on Top strop The Why Must I Always Explain? unexplainer

A while back, myself and Mark Case loosely matched 15 minutes of 8mm amateur film of the Mahavishnu Orchestra on 11/5/73 at Milwaukee – which I’d kindly been given access to by the chap who had filmed it, Rich […]

I don’t think I need a Martin Barre book, but I’d certainbly go and see his band if they ever played in Ireland. From the live clips online, his deep Tull repertoire is delightful – songs rarely if ever played by […]
