The ‘Panel Show Prince’ -according to the definition I’m making up- is an oleaginous media whore, willing to adjust his principles in line with the views and prejudices of his paymasters. Here’s a song about him.

Thank you to all at Bot Towers for those kind remarks! I still watch football in exotic locations like Whitburn, Linlithgow and Largs, but life gets in the way of blogging about it. I’ve been thinking recently, […]

Here’s a track from the album. Your enjoyment of this piece may be enhanced if you picture the face of your own particular least-favourite politician.

I’m up for that! Keep me posted about dates etc.

Cheers, Salty! Hope you enjoy the album.

Thanks Too10! I really appreciate your very positive comments.

Sorted (as the young folk used to say).

If anyone fancies reviewing this album, please message me and I’ll post one of those old-fashioned CD things to you.

Thanks, Freddy. I’ll take ‘jangle’ any day.
