May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I did the draw a day early. I was worried that I wouldn’t get to have the time to do the draw tomorrow, so while I was lazing about today, resting up from yesterday, I recorded the draw on FB Live earlier this afternoon. The name drawn was Julz Finley, so the print will be…
It was such a great day today. The weather conditions were perfect. Temps in the high teens, cloudy with a light breeze. Unlike last year when I was a disorganised idiot and turned up 5 minutes before race time, I got there in plenty of time this time. There didn’t seem to be as many…

The stories Alice has of his drinking days. How he ever survived, I don’t know. The man must have had (still has, though he obviously stopped drinking LONG ago) a cast iron liver. I’ve got to say, I am looking forward to October and the gig at the O2 in London.

Not sure what this one will mean for the fans? More YouTube clip removals? More cracking down on some of the things that I do? Hey…who knows? Maybe someone from there would actually listen to me and I could get permission for use of lyrical content in my art? Pfffft! Yeah, sure. If I agree…
