Diolch butty.

Thank you it most certainly helps. It’s only been ten weeks since my THR and it’s been a bit of a roller coaster with various aches and pains coming and going seemingly at random. I’m consoling myself by comparing […]

Oh good. Delighted to hear that. They can be very entertaing.

Troubling me with a touch of sciatica down the back of my leg from arse to knee. Apart from that and some femerol stem pain I’m certainly better than I was ten weeks ago. I’ve put the crutches to one side now and […]

Get well soon. In the meantime try audiobooks.

Wassail. As I now have one leg that is slightly longer than the other leg November was a month of ups and downs.

I may add a couple before the watershed. I’m awaiting their arrival before passing judgement. I’m assuming an amendment will be acceptable if these releases turn out to be as exceptional as I think they may turn […]

I knew you would dig them. Fingers crossed for a second disc. The Panocha Quartet recordings of the Martinů quartets have been the reference recordings and they are excellent but these are a cut above. There is a […]

Positively louche.

I always end up repeating myself over this poll or any other poll by saying its fundamentally preposterous to try and objectify something as subjective as musical preferences. I just list the music that’s brought […]

If it’s released in the year in question then it’s a new release including covers albums. Taking any other position on the matter is mearly nitpicking to bolster one’s anorak quotient.

It was released July 2025.

Both stellar. Pavel Hass might just be the best string quartet currently working at this moment although the Pacifica Quartet have just released some new meanderings that will undoubtedly be top notch. I’ve yet to […]

This is a list that honestly reflects my listing habits of the year. I could have included some jazz, ambient and/or a few other recordings but tbh I’ve not really listened to much music other than classical for […]

The week before last I purchased a heated clothes airer from Lakeland via Amazon. It was dispatched via Royal Mail 24hr tracked. I’m still waiting for it to arrive. It never will of course despite Royal Mail’s […]
