We saw them last year at Dreamland, Margate. They’ve been on my “quite like to see” list for a long time and they didn’t disappoint. As Leffe Gin says, not everyone’s cup of tea but their “best of”is very good and […]

No list would be complete without The Men They Couldn’t Hang and after much deliberation I’m nominating How Green Is The Valley, all decent tracks but with six standouts. Of newer stuff, Rob Clamp and the Ash […]

They’re quite snooty at The Dorchester, as you’d expect, but very polite about it too. Some years back, we were rigging in the Ballroom at the back of the building where there was almost no phone signal so a col […]

I was listening to Radio 4 during a tedious journey last week and on the panel game, the phrase L’esprit de l’escalier was mentioned, which means staircase wit, the act of thinking of the cutting retort after one […]

davebigpicture commented on the post, Acoustic tours are a con 2 weeks, 2 days ago
An interesting watch. Some quite basic errors there, especially VAT on ticket sales and not confirming what is provided at each venue. I had a look at the Bristol venue’s site and they don’t make it clear that PA […]

On tour finances: Kate Nash sell pictures of her arse on Only Fans to finance tours etc. she was on the Adam Buxton podcast recently and although I’m only vaguely aware of her, it was an entertaining diversion w […]

I saw Chris Difford, Michelle Stodart and a bloke from Gomez do that a few years ago. Very, very good.

I cook evening meals as we both eat mostly independently during the day. Most shopping and all DIY as well as organising car services and mundane stuff like washer bottles, tyre pressures. I occasionally do some […]

Blink was an outstanding piece of drama, even without the Who connection.

I laughed a bit when I saw the LS9 being used for front of house as they are not well thought of now but people forget that they were everywhere at the time and a big improvement on earlier digital desks. I’ve s […]

I found this Sound on Sound article which gives a flavour of what goes into each show but is 13 years old so I’m sure most of the gear has been updated. While sound isn’t really my area, I’d be interested to see a […]
