I was lucky enough to see them at SXSW recently, having liked their music over the last 18 months. I was surprised to see so many American fans singing along with the words – they seemed to be going places. Seemed […]

She is fantastic live. Funny and invigorating.

Does the Bass Player still do his solo encompassing the great Bass Rock riffs of our time. A highlight when I saw them in the 80s

I’m never convinced by the “Rock Is Dead” argument. Rock is still around but has to share space with more differing strands of music. Many youngsters today are discovering their version of Rock; be it the tradi […]

I can never resist watching On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Every time I hope the ending changes………..sadly it never does.

Sadly, Stan and Ollie was Oscar eligible but did not receive any nominations. It opened in the US in late 2018. At least the Golden Globes nominated John C Reilly and the BAFTAs have nominated Steve Coogan

I read that they are on Saturday Night Live on US TV soon. That’s a pretty big gig so I presume they’ve already hit a significant level of popularity in the US

I always think it is interesting to hear his views on the music biz. He has worked hard for his success.

Mike, the original ASIB were set in the acting world. So you are safe from James Mason singing. I remember that version as a fine film though

If you didn’t like Beautiful Vision then personally speaking, i think it unlikely you’ll like much of his later output.

I personally like the run from Beautiful Vision through to Hymn To The Silence bar the odd […]

Were the TV Detector vans really empty?

What made you change your mind?

I agree Gary, I think the loss of Boyle is a big wasted opportunity. I’m sure Fukunaga will do a serviceable job as Director but Boyle could have made a classic.

I think Aidan Turner for next Bond. I saw him o […]

To be fair, I don’t think Anna Calvi has ever hidden her sexuality. The press releases around her latest reflect the subject matter of identity
