There’s a BOC one! Credit card poised ….

Specsavers tell me they plan a service that obvs you can pay them for. “Falling on deaf ears” joke follows.

Re hearing aids, there have been a couple of prior threads

I’ve been using an NHS aid for three years. I wouldn’t want to be without it as it really helps dampen down the tinnitus, but I still can’t hear much […]

FLC were at Reading Rivermead. Next time I saw them was at Swindon Oasis. Scooby Snacks and the smell of chlorine.

That’s an awesome story!

I recall Paul Jones being higly miffed when someone in the crowd started to toot along with the Blues Band on his own harmonica. I couldn’t understand how he even heard him, as I was […]

(a) A Fun Lovin Criminals gig in Reading in 199something. A couple of songs into the set some numbnuts lobs a plastic cup at the stage and manages to hit Huey on the head. He is not amused and makes some comments […]

I stumbled on the “Africa” cover a while back and it’s something I still play occasionally – it’s such a powerful version. He’s playing a gig in London in May – might be worth a punt for those in range.

The younger ones I know don’t expect films and music for free; they subscribe to Spotify but wouldn’t consider buying a cd. They go to the cinema (fairly often) but don’t buy DVDs. They have all closed their […]

Thanks to the polar vortex trapping me in a hotel last weeek i watched it again last week. It struck me that Swayze was pretty unconvincing as a hard man (Sam Elliott carried it off so much better), but at least […]

‘Hell To Pay” is well worth a listen. It’s probably more rock than blues with full on songs like “Full Circle” but it’s balanced by tidy cover “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and the Knopfler penned “I Think I Love […]

You get both in my house. Apart from when my wife is out.

You’re a hard man Gary. (Moose much missed)

Double bollocks – forgot Ronnie Montrose as well. Fantastic wall of sound on the first album.
