Saw The Who play an awesome Christmas gig (1976) at the Hammersmith Odeon, Roger donning a ‘George Davies is Innocent’ T shirt. Went for a pee as the the last chords windmilled to an end and then came back to sta […]

What?! He had a brilliant pop voice on his first 5 albums – all masterpieces. Have a re-listen to Get Happy if you’ve forgotten. After that, he stretched it all too far at times, and the results were sometimes m […]

Style and character play their part. Sampras and Lendl seemed machine-like to me, whereas long streaks of Barcelona playing beautiful football or the F1 drivers of the 70s letting it all hang out, opposite locking […]
