Blessed! Thank You For Sending Me An Angel

Blessed! Thank You For Sending Me An Angel

I have been concentrating on getting my blog tidied up and streamlined. Yesterday the very hefty outlay for the blog was paid. It was also more expensive than I had anticipated so it really brought me down. As I said in a recent post, I am trying to migrate my site to somewhere else but…

Something Better Change…

Something Better Change…

I’ve recorded a vlog post airing how I’m currently feeling – mostly the dilemma I am feeling about what the bloody hell to do with this blog. I just don’t know any more…. (P.S. Despite the look of the video ident, you WILL be subjected to my awful face. Apologies in advance.)

NGD Live on Sky

NGD Live on Sky

I watched it as it aired on Sky Arts on Friday evening. And I would really love to discuss it but now I feel frightened to express an opinion even on what used to feel like the relative safety of my own blog. I genuinely believed that most people (most SM fans that are present…

Happy Birthday, Mick!

Happy Birthday, Mick!

Well, it may well be Kerrsday today (ie: every Thursday is a “Kerrsday” to me. Lol) but it is also the most gorgeous Mick MacNeil’s birthday today. I believe he turns 65 today. Many happy returns, Mick. Here’s hoping for many more to come. Also, just a quick reminder that the Greatest Albums Live episode…

Two Gigs In 24 Hours – Part One: Hamish Hawk at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut – Friday Night/Saturday Morning (7/8 July 2023)

It has been an exhaustive weekend – but I wouldn’t swap it for the world. Seeing the best live music from my most favourite bands and artists. I know I am in a very fortunate position to be able to do it, even if I am doing it on a very tight budget. The weekend…

Happy Birthday, Mr Kerr!

Happy Birthday, Mr Kerr!

When this is posted, I will be in Newcastle having seen a Warm Digits gig the night before. It’s been a hectic weekend with two gigs within the space of 24 hours and also travelling a distance between them too! So, yes, this post was scheduled and compiled on Friday afternoon. I didn’t want to…

Artistic Merit – What Cost Greatness?

Artistic Merit – What Cost Greatness?

No one was more surprised than me to get a response from His Kerrness when he posted to the SM Facebook page on Monday. In his post he spoke about Peter Gabriel and his unswerving loyalty to the man. I guess it’s that teen thing? The people who shape you during your formative years, and…
