I went to the Brum venue as well and agree with Retropath, was a bit thrown by the start but soon got into the gig. Thankfully the seats at the Town Hall are pretty comfortable with decent legroom, especially for […]

I too was at the Colton Halls to see JT and I’m glad my thoughts were confirmed regarding Ian Anderson’s voice. It seems to have gone but it was still an enjoyable evening.
The GLW was unfamiliar with his wor […]

That’s why I hate Hard Rock Cafe so much. All these instruments behind cases and they’re so proud of it. Just think of the uproar if they put a Stradivarius in a case and stuck it on a wall?

Coincidentally The Moodies popped up on Round Britain Quiz today with a question revolving around In Search of the Lost Chord, to be precise one of Graham Edge’s poncy poems that seemed to feature in all their albums

His Airforce of course featured six hands, his good self, Phil Seaman and Alan White. None of them were known for their subtlety so it must have created a substantial racket.

How weird is that? We were in Copenhagen last week and watched a concert of hers from Berlin. Not my cup of tea but gave a full on show

Names and teams escape me but a Scottish league game and the striker went down with a head injury. He got a bit of concussion and the team doctor reported back to the manager that after looking at him he wasn’t to […]

Maybe not but he was bright enough to shag Liz Hurley!

Don’t know if it’s true or not but I like it.

Nice to hear Chris Difford was challenged on 6 Music on Sunday regarding the time difference on Up The Junction and admitted it’s bothered him as well.

This morning at four fifty
I took her rather nifty […]

I believe Renton was also responsible for winning someone the jackpot on Pointless by naming them as a winner of the Scottish Cup. He also said Third Lanark and Queens Park I think.
Didn’t Renton after their […]

Can I put Sheer Heart Attack in Room 101?

Admittedly I’ve never got Queen so the adulation of the above leaves me bewildered.

and isn’t Hogg the best fullback We’ve had for years? The lad is a shoe-in for the Lion’s tour

Well, England were rubbish but still won, buggering up my pub sweep. Scotland were brilliant.
The bad old days may have gone about dominating game for the first 60 minutes and then losing in the last 20 has been […]

The days of not seeing my bed till the 2nd have long gone! NYE went for a meal at a local restaurant and then popped into the local about 22:00 and left just after the bells. The GLW went straight to bed having […]

Nice to see though he’s kept up the rock and roll tradition of lumbering his kids with wacky names,
Raven, Echo & Persia

This is a rich seam! Just two weeks ago I was looking forward to seeing Deacon Blue at Bristol on the 19th November. I’d bought the tickets nearly 6 months earlier and was counting down the days.
On the morning of […]

Myself and the present Mrs Driver went to see Frank Zappa at Wembley Arena and the sound was brutal even for that barn of a place. It was totally unlistenable. We left early and went to a totally deserted Pizza […]

I was one of the foot soldiers on that day. Me and my Ex stayed to the bitter end but wish we hadn’t. Nearly 3 fecking hours trying to get out of the field, sorry car park!!
