I saw a clip yesterday featuring The Stray Cats with Eddie van Halen, David Gilmour, BB King, Les Paul, Stanley Jordan, Steve Miller and Waylon Jennings. I mean, if nothing else that’s a hell of an address book.

I got as far as number fifty and gave up. I am fifty six.

This story should end “…so I said ‘What are you doing here, Benny?’ and he replied ‘Well, have you seen the queue for Nando’s?’”

Good work @Native !

The original Fireman Sam thing has a definite McCartneyesque air to it.

Some of the Zingzillas’ back catalogue is genuinely moving. ‘Welcome To The Island’ is quite the rollercoaster. Here’s an AW-friendly banger I spent a lot of time with a few years ago. https://youtu.be/5YTWT-4vW2Y

Cripes!

I’ve been out of work for two years now, so hanging around the house reading the papers and chewing the end of my pencil over the killer sudoku isn’t exactly a leap for me. Also, I’m lucky enough to have a dog, […]

I speak as someone who has been recorded by both Owen Morris and Fenton Steve.

During my time in TTL I was, as part of my role as Master Librarian* totally in charge of the tapes for all of these series. Admittedly it’s no archivist at Sound City, but I like to think I played my p […]

That’s a very good point. I’m sure I filled in the link in the form when I submitted the post to the noticeboard bit it doesn’t seem to appear anywhere.

That’s the introduction ^ by the way, not me going all Bar […]

Splendid. Let me know when you get to the bit(s) you’re in… 😉
