Nick L commented on the post, What Fresh Hell Is This? 1 day, 22 hours ago
My 17 year old daughter (very much in the target audience I would have thought) shared this with me yesterday via our family whattsapp group with the message “What do you think of this?” under it. This message […]

Yes, that rings a bell, I think it might have been at the Albert Hall in 1985.

I’m really enjoying the album overall. To me it sounds like a good continuation of the first two proper albums. Many seem to be ignoring the fact that there were a couple of albums in the nineties under the name […]

Really liked that Working Men’s Club song Dr V, many thanks for sharing. I’d perhaps add a hint of Bunnymen to the Talking Heads/Television vibe, but I really enjoyed it and will look for more.

Not to deny the rightfully lauded Gordon Banks the tributes he will receive but I think it’s always these kind of “lower down the ladder” type of players like Fred Pickering who make a deeper impression on […]

Yes, thought the first album was excellent, the second one a bit less so. Good gritty music that has a bit of soul to it.

That’s one of the rudest things I’ve ever heard of! Astonishing. I’m so glad Eleanor responded in that way, indeed the only appropriate way.

Not sure about Rock being dead as such overall but it certainly isn’t in particularly good health. Depends what is meant by “rock” as well I guess, but I assume you mean most louder guitar music. It’s probably […]

Brilliant story, I have to ask, have you felt a slight grudge towards Martin Carthy ever since? I think I might have done…

Ha ha, or the birth of Department S at any rate!

No there wasn’t unfortunately but I may well have done exactly that if there had been and I suspect I would have had a few in support as well.

Any ideas for the most awkward gig you’ve been to?
Sometime in the early 2000’s, on holiday in North Devon, Mrs. L and I went to see Suzanne Vega at the Queen’s Theatre in Barnstaple. Mrs L was a big fan and I lik […] -

Wow, that is indeed a superb bit of writing. I think might be the best articulation out there of how many feel about the whole leave calamity and the people who voted for it.

I completely get what you mean there. Went over to Leyton to see Hampton quite a few times over the years. I’m still a season ticket holder. There’s just something about non-league football that is addictive.

It’s Bob Stanley from St. Etienne who supports Hendon. He’s quite a big follower of non-league football generally I think.
Were you a Leyton supporter then @deramdaze ? -

I understand that there are rumours this may indeed happen. Trouble is, all it would do would split the left wing vote and voila…Tories in for generations to come.

Nick L commented on the post, Leadership (or lack of it…) 1 week, 1 day ago
Sorry to be so gloomy but I don’t think there is a lot of hope. All of May’s positioning on Brexit has been to try and shore up her own bitterly divided party whereas Labour have proved just how incompetent an […]

I’m a massive punk fan but the use of swastikas was completely unacceptable really. It was infantile Kings Road nonsense.

Some obvious ones from me I’m afraid.

I should also have said about the John Harris article in the OP that my wife grew up in Donny and we visit fairly regularly to see family members. I wish the town lots of luck, they could have been completely […]
