@STeveT, just heard from Paolo and he says, “thank Steve for his comments and tell him his words were very perceptive.”

Great thread.
I did well at school but missed the one A level (Advanced Maths) I needed to study a draughtsman course at Uni. Secretly, I was delighted. Study had always appeared easy, I had always been in the […]

Thanks for the kind words, @SteveT. I’ll pass them on to Paolo – he’ll be chuffed. Glad MK was on sparkling form – I’m dead jealous.

I did stay to see the extra bit, simply because I had checked IMDB for running time, and realised it was way short.

Seen: –

Cinema – Asbury Park: “Riot, Redemption, Rock n’ Roll.” A terrific documentary about the history of Asbury Park NJ, and how the city has been defined by its vibrant music scene. Lots of archive film, i […]

Stunning, beautiful, huggable telly. I’m an old git, so I’ve seen every episode. I love all of these people.

I pray that 78 year old Michael Apted is still around to do 70 Up.

Thanks Mike. Good news.

We saw her at The Royal Albert Hall a few years back, with Tedeschi Trucks Band. The old hall had to have the roof replaced after she blew it off.

A force of nature.

Had the e-mail this week. Sent it to Spotify security to check it wasn’t a scam. They said it was genuine but the breach was on old account I had before I bought Premium. They exported the genuine playlists from […]

Great stuff, @Twang. I agree completely about Jeremy Spencer. He has always seemed a one trick pony to me and, once Danny joined, completely surplus to requirements.
This sounds like an essential purchase, as […]

Still wading through the sheer amount of music on this new one but I love it already. Hopefully see you for a beer at Hackney. I’ll be the one in the BBT t-sh……… Oh.

I saw the video this morning, with my jaw dropping. Apart from the Big Brother implications and the ridiculous heavy handedness of yer Plod – IT WAS A TRIAL, FFS.
Appalling, shocking and frightening.

Great review, Tigg. My Mum & Dad queued up 3 times to see it in the West End in the 50’s. It was ‘their’ show, ‘their’ film, ‘their soundtrack. We played One Heart at Mum’s funeral and my wife and I watch the film […]

Thank you, good Doctor. I had completely forgotten that Mark had been on. That’ll be a good listen back.

Great stuff, @Twang. Can we get Mark Ellen next?

In fact, this could be a nice ‘occasional series,’ – Kate, Jude, Andrew H, etc reminiscing about their careers, but also talking about what they’ve been up to […]

BTW, talking of The Beatles, TTB played an epic version of Within You, Without You, last night.

The show was fantastic.
