Well, Saturday’s Trevor Horn gig is almost upon us – and I have amazing news…which I assume I am allowed to share publicly, seeing as he did tell me publicly on my Facebook timeline – Mick MacNeil will be at the show!!! Performing! Only for Brothers In Arms…but, still. For me this is monumental! I…

Now that’s a spoiler! (Though, given how much I have been talking about how skint I am, I don’t think I’d be giving much away to say I didn’t win the final and the £40k prize). But…how far did I get? Well…tune in next week to Channel 4 on May 22nd, 23rd and 24th and…

I don’t highlight stuff he writes too often these days. I mean, if any of you blog visitors are SM fans, you know where they are on social media (I mention SMO FB enough!). But today…he’s a card! Goddamn man! Why does have to be so lovely and funny and sexy and just… *sigh*
News of a Caezar gig towards the end of November was revealed today. Joe and JJ will be playing Saint Luke’s on November 23rd, with King Of Birds once again as support. I couldn’t turn back round after two weeks to make their date in February but I’ll pull out all the stops to try…
Upon recommendation by sound engineer extraordinaire, Olivier Gerard (aka GG) – I present to you, Whispering Sons. Currently on tour in the UK. I just missed out seeing them in Bristol. The play Glasgow tonight. And as Sod’s law would have it, they play The Lexington on Saturday, but I’m seeing Stewart Copeland that night….
