May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I know I’ve said previously that I will be busy this year but now the heat is really on! I have THREE assignments due in the space of eight weeks! The first is due next Thursday, the second exactly three weeks after that, and the final end-of-module assignment (known as a EMA) is due on…
I do love a good BBC Radio Drama and when I saw this I had to grab a copy of the recording. I recently thought about trying to get a copy of it to Monsieur Kerr for his audio delectation (I still haven’t got round to listening to it myself, so it might not be…

I don’t even know where to start with this one, I honestly don’t. It might be a little short and sweet because otherwise I’ll be typing out a 3,000 word post if I try and put it all in! So much happened last night. All the periphery stuff pre and post gig. Let’s just make…
I had to reply to Toni Masson’s post on SMOG. I totally get the critique coming in for the setlists so far that we’ve seen in the Antipodes. The biggest concerns for me are to do with the number of songs and the length of the set. Firstly, it shouldn’t take over 100 minutes to…
