Weegie Treats
Arrived in Glasgow a couple of hours ago after taking the old “red-eye” from London. I. Am. Fucked! Lol But, I am here AND I can have a rest before tonight’s gig, so I’m happy. And…I’ve had doughnuts! That ALWAYS helps…

My Pal The Drummer
The next Caezar gig is imminent – happening tomorrow night, in fact. Tonight I start my travels up to Glasgow for the gig. Two coach journeys…some 10 hours of travel. Coach travel being the most cost-effective way of getting to Glasgow and back (unless you book a flight MONTHS in advance, or manage to get…
Caezar Coming
While the next gig on the agenda is mere days away in Aix, and the sense of trepidation for the impending trip builds manifold, the gigs following will see me at two Caezar gigs. Today on their Facebook page, Caezar talked about the playlist they’d like to compile to play pre-gig and threw it open…
Jim On With Janice Long For “A Long Walk”
I did wonder when I heard about this series Janice Long was doing for Radio 2 whether Jim would be involved. He seemed an obvious choice…and so here we are! As I had hoped, he is appearing on the show. Next Thursday, as it happens. I’ll be away in Aix-Les-Bains actually watching the guys that…

Gig Review – NME, October 14th, 1978 – The Future Is kerr And Burchill
Wow…Ian Cranna hit the nail on the head, or what?! Will you look at that! And, some near 40 years on…they are the mainstays. It is an amazing review, really. Very constructive. Not sycophantic. He did highlight shortcomings…but, wow! Oh, to have been there at that time. Just so absolutely fucking exciting. I wish, I…

Saturday Night Gigs
Nothing happening for me this weekend as far as gigs are concerned…but I get the feeling a certain someone MAY just be going to this gig tomorrow night…seeing how much he loves the man and all. And…there’s a little gap in the schedule until the gigs kick off again NEXT weekend (nine days to go…
