He’s a fantastic artist, I only really got how much of an artist he was when I read Chronicles. You get so much Dylan over the years, like Mr Cowslip says, there were so many different ones. I’m really enjoying […]

Chapeau!

Buck Henry also appeared behind his jam jar specs in The Man Who Fell To Earth alongside the emaciated Dame

The Police’s ‘Synchronicity’ is pretty well-stocked with tunes. Unfortunately Andy Summers’s “Mother” must be the worst track the band ever committed to tape. Skip!

I love this rehearsal of ‘The Inner Light’ which begins with George explaining the song to the musicians in a Bombay studio

Hank Wangford’s little sideline as Dr Sam Hutt

I very much enjoyed being on the Afterword podcast and would love to offer my services again, especially if the pod ventured Bowiewards. For the 100th, though, how about getting Mark, Hep, Fraser on board for a […]

Whenever I heard Derek Acorah’s name I thought of this

Took my girlfriend to see “Witness For The Prosecution” in London County Hall recently (much recommended btw). You have to sit in narrow benches towards the upper (ie. affordable) galleries. About 10 minutes after […]
