One of my favourite players, must have seen him perform more than 50 times.
Here’s a little-known fact – he played uncredited on the first couple of Talking Heads LPs. I heard him confirm it at an in-store i […] -

Archive From 1959, a two CD retrospective is a decent place to start.

Presumably blue-collar Bruce has more than enough industry clout to put a stop to this if the mood took him?

Yes, if only they’d followed the example of Corbyn who was nothing but the loyal backbencher during the Blair years.

There was also a branch in Southend, it’s where I bought most of my records till I went to Plymouth to study and switched allegiances to Meat Whiplash.
Still have a couple of their shocking pink carrier bags. -

On Your Breath, and Jim Thirwell’s various Foetus incarnations. I loved his 80s output, but have since lost touch with his prodigious output.

I was at the 2019 Jazz Cafe show mentioned in the article.
He was so popular I got four free tickets from a seat filling agency; they were giving them away and the place still wasn’t half full.

Haven’t seen the Spike Lee film, but the live show was something special so I have this down as a must-see.
And Sky Arts is on f […] -

In the past I have cooked porchetta but in recent years my wife has demanded a bird, and as the kids and me find turkey deathly dull, we have settled on roasted organic capon.
