I’m not that surprised Colin…those kind of courses are an easy sell for young people. My daughter (the one doing Events Management) will be OK I think…she’s also an excellent cake baker and fancies doing […]

Suspect you’re correct there Rigid, however unfortunate. And that sector is pretty much the bulk of my gig going these days. Plus, with one of my kids actually studying Events Management and the other wanting to […]

My team, Hampton and Richmond Borough, are pressing on blindly with signing players this week, but we can’t pay them anything unless we have crowds paying to get in. I guess they must be being signed on this […]

I’d only just got back from that walk as well…

Oh my goodness, yes to Jane Wiedlin. Game over. Think I might need to go for a brisk walk now…

Absolutely right. She always looked healthy and life-affirming.

Think I last saw her with ACR in Birmingham a couple of years ago. Beautiful but powerful vocals in full effect. Genuine enthusiasm too.

Ha, I’m guessing by your final para you may be joking with me there Uncle…I just find Oasis merely OK. And a bit long winded in many cases.

I fully get that The Monkees (who I love) or someone else deemed “acceptable” were just as much a “manufactured” band (a horrible term) as One Direction probably are but I honestly don’t think I could name one […]

I saw this news this morning and even though I wasn’t really what you’d call a fan it made me very sad. Tim Smith’s illness was heartbreaking to read about. As a band, they certainly did deserve more success, and […]

Yes it would have been serious money. I work just down the road from his polo club and it is one of the most expensive areas in the whole of the south east.

I too thought that podcast was really dull, given that there really is a good tale to tell about The Small Faces part of his career at least. The book is OK but really, it could have been much better and as a fan […]

Yep, another recommendation for Createspace. I used it a couple of years back when I did a book on the little football team I support in the National League South. It was easy to get started with, easy to update […]

Pete Best has tweeted wishing him a happy birthday. What a nice, classy move.

Yes, that was a very good set of songs, and “That Dangerous Age” was a great single. Must dig the album out again actually.

I’ve been a long term fan of Weller’s, and am mostly enjoying the new album. I would like to think most people who were Jam and/or Style Council fans probably want to at least give his newer work the benefit of […]

Ah OK, didn’t realise that about the historical significance of the outfit. Yes, it definitely makes sense.

Yeah, def a bit better. Hadn’t seen that before. Thanks!

Watched most of it and despite wanting to love it, I found it a bit underwhelming at times. He did his best to do that thing that lots of singers of his generation do, ie sing some songs in a slightly different […]
