John Otway is doing a Facebook live gig tomorrow at 8PM uk time.

As an update for the Afterword faithful, it turns out that the Dave bloke about of who there is much publicity today, is not the bloke who used to sing with Chas.

Strangely I’m listening to less music lately. Not sure why, something possibly to do with getting back into the band business. That said on a sleepless night last night at around 2 in the morning I listened to T […]

With December being more suited to playlists than albums, there’s nothing new to report. Due to joining a new (old) covers band, I’m having to immerse myself in genres hitherto foreign to me, namely funk. Rat […]

We sat down on Saturday evening determined to go the whole nine yards. I checked the time at the start, it was about eight o’clock. I had a conversation with myself. Is it too late to start? Will I make it to 1 […]

On the Buses
Blakey, absolutely a leaver
Jack and Stan both remainers (What? Miss out on all them foreign birds?)

The entire cast of Mind Your Language? Probably not as clear cut as the TV times would have us believe.

We would indeed but they would all be turned into Wetherspoons

Glad you had the presence of mind to shake things up! I think I’m now getting too old for all this sort of thing!

I’ve been a fan for a few years now and was at the Hackney gig too. Unfortunately for me and anyone who was sat on either side of the stalls, the experience was a poor one. Bloody great speaker stacks positioned […]

Really impressed with the Netflix series “Unbelievable”. Some great performances in this with Merritt Wever the pick of the bunch. Amazing story, highly recommended.

Finally got to see the Joker the other day […]

Fun fact. All of Five Star went to my school (a long time after I did of course)

Certainly in no particular order but these have been my most go to on Spotify (from the current decade anyway)

The River and the Thread – Rosanne cash
Love Fear and the Time Machine – Riverside
Storm […]

No cinema trips to report this month but have been enjoying “captured” on the BBC and of course “State of the union” which if you haven’t seen it comes in ten minute chunks. Both Rosamund Pike and Chris O’Dowd ar […]

I was wondering if Back Home was mine too, but I think it was bought for me by my nan rather than my own purchase.

Some of these firsts look to cool to be true! As you’ll see below mine don’t fall into that category.

Single – Beg Steal or Borrow – The new Seekers

Album – Ride a White Swan (cheap music for pleasure rel […]

For anyone with cricket withdrawal symptoms, I watched “the edge” yesterday which is showing on Amazon prime in the uk. Quite riveting stuff. I was expecting a gentle review of English cricket over the last ten […]

I can take one look at a beautifully coiled set of leads or cables, and with the blink of an eye magically transform them into a tangled mess of Brexit proportions.
