Luckily I shall be sunning myself somewhere in the Aegean so don’t have the worry of trying to reconcile an awful venue with two decent artistes. I’ve seen both a good few times before anyway – the last time I saw […]

Started to read on the “Look inside” button on Amazon thinking that I would not be too interested as I’m not generally big into jazz and knew little of McLaughlin’s output but was pleasantly surprised at how the […]

I remember that 1977 Stiffs tour too – saw them at Fairfield Halls. Dave Edmunds playing with Nick Lowe
Great tour – I think I may have got very slightly pissed that night !

He didn’t have the balls to do it during yesterday’s meeting with May and the rest of the Cabinet though did he ?
He’d be a wonderful person to have fighting your corner.

Mr Sedaris is someone about whom I know absolutely nothing !
But . . .Kindle book for 99p – nothing to lose there.
I read a little on Amazon’s “Look inside” and it looks interesting – thanks for the heads up Beezer.

He’s not the prophet he’s just a very naughty boy !
