The Water Babies – Part One – Cruelty
I do like to listen to various things at night. A radio comedy of varying types, usually the Friday Night comedy podcast (which for the past six weeks has been Dead Ringers – so will assume we must be back to a series of The Now Show) and repeats of Cabin Pressure…audio books, read out…

Farewell, My Lovely…
She is scanned, packaged and ready to go…to travel across to the US of A tomorrow. Of course there’s a tinge of sadness…more than a tinge, in all honesty…but it helped to raise more money than I ever dare dream of for Race For Life this year. Will I ever raise that much again? Who…
Minds Music Monday – Why I Love…Soul Crying Out
Lighting the political touchpaper in 1989 with words of angst and hope, Soul Crying Out has to be one of Simple Minds’ most beautiful, heartfelt pieces on the current state of the world (of then…as it is now) as you are ever likely to hear.

Virginia Turbett Photography On Facebook
There is a new Facebook page that will be highlighting some of the amazing work of Virginia Turbett. It’s only just got up and running, but I think it will become a great showcase of her wonderful work. If the first photo shared on the page is anything to go by (and I am a…
Five Years A (Mega) Fan
While it is that beautiful man’s birthday – it is also my fan anniversary. This year it is FIVE YEARS since I became a Simple Minds uber fan. I clean near forgot as I have had something else rather dominating my thoughts today – and it wasn’t that it’s Jim’s 60th, no. I’ve been hard…
