A massive hero of mine – I was deeply sad when I heard the news this am. I am praying he pulls through.
He has written loads of great songs but In Spite of Ourselves does it every time for me. Very funny but […]

Wouldn’t mind Stevie Nicks in my cabin, no sirree. I remember when I first heard her sing Dreams – it gave me the horn I can tell you.

Private hospitals have been commandeered by the NHS – no private operations happening at present.

Hi @johnw should have clarified- shipments leaving by sea last week and maybe week before.35 day transit would suggest they will arrive after the peak. Airfreight rates have raised by 1000 percent because of […]

I have a few Pat Metheny albums. Secret History is my favourite album but favourite single piece is this work of art:

No champagne then Paws

Classed as a key worker so still working although desks have been re configured so all workers are 2m apart from each other. Only one person in the tearoom at a time and everyone has to use hand sanitiser every […]

And a new album out in May too.

I love it too @Carl – if you order it from Amazon it automatically streams to your Kindle fire. I don’t normally listen on my Kindle because the physical product arrives in the next day or so but in this […]
