Johnny99 commented on the post, John Miles – dead 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Oh now that IS a shame – I saw him a couple of times back in the 70s and he was very good live. Once was supporting Robin Trower at Wembley which was a rather odd double billing ! The other was the opening (and […]

The last time I saw Tull with Ian Anderson was (I think) in 2016 at the first “A new day” festival. I have seen the band many times and the last time I had seen them was on the “TAAB2” tour when Anderson had had […]

I had my first jab (Astra Zeneca) on February 12th
Arm was a bit heavy the day after and I felt a bit tired but had a half hour kip on the settee and felt much better.

My favourite stupid comment was on FaceBook – someone was holding what was, very obviously, an adaptor for pumping up a football and claiming that it had come out of his sister’s arm when he very gently stroked […]
