Horses for sauces, I thought it derivative shite.

You utter utter ballboil!!!!

Many venues are not geared up for a leave and return protocol; Hare & Hounds and Kitchen Garden Cafe in Brum, for two. Most performers explain that they will be playing their last song and then the encore, if […]

What’s wrong with treating fellow road users to the joys of Blowzabella?

Well it is extremely promising, thus far!!

I have now invested, and jolly good it is too, if, yes, a track or two too long. I think 10 tracks is about right for any self-respecting disc.

Late to the party, @fitterstoke; it looks a good festy. I have quite a few Manx folkies on my radar, including Ms. Callister.

You’ll maybe remember my first wife, then, a couple of years below the striking head girl of the school they each attended. ( I have asked her whether she could remember any handsome Aberdonians, but, oddly, she […]

Over on fb I see @kaisfatdad has just seen Lily Allen at Roskilde festival. It sounds her show is ideal for the limitations of shorter festival sets! (Mind you, David Byrne also she-horned his show successfully […]

Jenn is lovely, isn’t she?

That’s how he got all those laughter lines….

16p a pint in 1975. Mind you, that was the student bar, and Young’s Ordinary. At the Royal George, down the road, Ruddles County was an eye-watering 30p.

Yeah, coz he was always so balanced and considered…..

Interesting deep dive into an album that I had near forgotten about. Forgotten about in the sense that, if it were playing, I could faultlessly remember every word and most the instrumental breaks, drum fills […]

Paradoxically, I suspect that the purer first pressings are less effective, as they carry more debris. The cheaper filtered blends are probably fine.

Hate swimming in salt water; feels always thick, greasy and sticky. Love a loch, a llyn or a lake mind, for all the freedom you describe. I’m not a great swimmer but I know my limits.
