I am amongst friends !

Rather like the old film from 1953 “The wages of fear” (remade as “The Sorcerer” with a Tangerine Dream soundtrack in 1977) about a truck load of nitro glycerine being transported through South America. A film […]

As the arguments and the posturing carry on and with the fact that we seem to have 650 MPs with approximately 650 different views on the way that we do things I’m coming around more and more to the idea that we […]

I like all of Pete Atkin’s albums – the only ones I’m missing are “Live Libel” and “Secret Drinker”.
He is still gigging occasionally – check out the “Smash Flops” page https://www.peteatkin.com/pa.htm

I’ve signed it and hope that this will be helpful.
This video is quite marvellous too (lots of swearing but does, I think, essentially hit the mark).

Not the Doors but a slightly later incarnation of a flying machine with a little “mercury” help !

Looks like I’m first to arrive – where shall I put the booze ?

I used to work for HMRC so, of course, we never had them !!

I am Ziggy Stardust and I claim my £5 !
No that’s wrong – anyway “I am Ziggy Stardust”

Stripey shirts and waistcoats ? Wasn’t Acker Bilk was it ? He had a penchant for such things (although not a banjoist).

Many years ago I joined the Elton John Fan Club because I thought you might get priority for gig tickets (you didn’t but you did get some sort of metal badge). At an even earlier age I was in the ISpy club.
I […]

I can’t help but hear it in an Alan Partridge type voice !

Ryan Who ?
Someone who’s never crossed my path.

I had tickets for the London gig but due to a hastily arranged hospital appointment I couldn’t get there. Sounds like I missed a good gig

only one thing really :

A couple of weeks ago I inadvertently played the “Hooked on Classics” 45 at 33rpm on my radio show. There’s (obviously) no vocals so there wasn’t really a clue. Sounded quite good actually – and filled up some time too !

Love that album

I’ve got these for my system – they are excellent speakers and I would thoroughly recommend them. They look pretty decent too IMHO
