I agree with PW that Holmfirth is a lovely town. I have friends who live in the nearby Clayton West. The Picturedrome is a great wee venue too. Well worth a visit. Must get back there soon. However, August 1st is out.

the californian commented on the post, Randy California v Elton John – Captain Fantastic is Captain Bulls**t 2 weeks, 6 days ago

Could it have anything to do with the fact that, around that time, Elton John was part-owner of the Los Angeles Aztecs soccer team? Randy California was born in Los Angeles. Maybe he was pissed off at an English […]

Despite the fact that I am a proud Scot and the Corries sang some great songs including one of my faves, Kishmuls Galley, I would have to rate the whole MO experience as outstanding. My big brother who was 6 […]

Only 2 degrees R2. Stevie Wonder covered If I Ruled The World and Sandy Nelson covered Uptight.

I beat it Colin! MO and The Corries. The Corries are best known for Flower of Scotland which was written by the late Roy Williamson, one of the 2 members. I attended gigs by both in the 70’s – MO in Glasgow’s […]

OOPS! Sorry, it was Joni not SRV you saw!
the californian commented on the post, I wish I’d seen this band. 6 months, 1 week ago

I’m afraid I also saw him Stevie – 3 times in fact. 2002 at the Victoria Hall, Annan, 2009 Strathclyde Suite GRCH and 2011 at the City Halls recital rooms. Excellent each time and we even managed a wee chat with […]

I also own two but I have attended gigs by three. So, I reckon the prize is mine.
the californian commented on the post, I own it. I’ve Never Played it. 8 months, 2 weeks ago

In the mid-seventies I bought Phaedra by Tangerine Dream. I think I bought it either because I liked the word ‘Phaedra’ or because I was trying to impress some bonnie lass. Anyway, I have no memory of ever having […]

I believe you are correct. I scanned the Pretty Green website briefly and clocked his name and reference to his album. Must tell my impressionable chums I’m on trend. One thing I like about the jacket is that […]
the californian commented on the post, Corduroy 8 months, 3 weeks ago

After a long search for a new casual jacket, I recently purchased a cool, collarless (think 60’s Beatles) navy blue number from a large store in Buchanan Street, Glasgow. It’s my first corduroy garment since the […]

Oh no! It’s like that time I couldn’t get the tartan paint which was urgently required…

I can’t see any comments. Is there a problem?
the californian commented on the post, Ry Cooder 9 months ago

Having attended a few Ry Cooder gigs over the years, I was at the Glasgow Concert Hall on Tuesday too and I would rate it as one of the best performances. A great mixture of songs played by fine musicians. The […]
the californian commented on the post, PSA: PPI payouts 9 months, 1 week ago

Like Mike, I also took out a mortgage (with BofS) in the 90’s. I only took out the insurance because the first 6 months were free. Of course, after 6 months payments kicked in and I didn’t do anything about it. […]
