May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I will try and get a review of the festival up over the next 24 hours…but for now…here’s a little clip of me (and a bit of Helen before me) meeting John at a signing he was doing at the Rough Trade stall at the Green Man festival yesterday. Oh…he is just too, too lovely!…
Sorry it’s been so quiet here, guys…but as I suspected, my connection to the Internet these past couple of days has been intermittent at best. The plan is to go home late this evening after seeing John Grant’s set…but that my change yet. We’ll see. But the festival has been great so far. Not seen…
Off to the Brecon Beacons…near Abergavenny…for four days – for the Green Man Festival. Won the tickets after all…might as well try and go to the thing. It’s an experience! Anyway…I think my time away will have me cut off from the Internet – for the most part – so things will be quiet here…

It wouldn’t take much to get someone giddy… ??? (This was Gwenda’s comment to Jim’s post this morning about Ross Stapleton…
A great location for an outdoor venue…right in the heart of the city centre. It was one of the main reasons I chose to go to Leeds when tossing up which of these Grandslam gigs to go to back in the early spring. Leeds would be fairly cheap and hassle free for me to get…
I am ssooo tired from last night. A full review will be on the blog tomorrow, but for now, here are a few pics and a video of Someone Somewhere In Summertime. Enjoy!
A little thing… Wednesday night’s trip to London to see Thumpasaurus? The easiest way there to the venue was to get the train in to St Pancras and then get to Oxford Circus from there. Since 2006, I can count on one hand the number of times I have taken the Tube. I have avoided…
