No Service Required – New Vlog Post
I am being a lazy, drained procrastinator today and posting a vlog post. Of course, it has run over an hour (just a wee bit over) so…if you have a free 65 minutes, you can see what I’m waffling on about (mainly jury service, my reason for not writing the post instead of vlogging it…
Redemption Songs
I have to say that, after the disappointment that I expressed for the Oz show that I listened to on BBC Sounds from 10 Feb – Billy Sloan absolutely redeemed himself last night with one cracker of a show. Lots of great new music and a fantastic interview with Suzi Ronson. I’d highly recommend giving…
Caezar – Home Album Launch – Centre For Contemporary Arts (CCA), Glasgow – 22/02/2024
I don’t even know where to start with this one, I honestly don’t. It might be a little short and sweet because otherwise I’ll be typing out a 3,000 word post if I try and put it all in! So much happened last night. All the periphery stuff pre and post gig. Let’s just make…

Billy Has Mates Downunder – And Other Matters

Distractions and Procrastinations
I have to say that I feel as if I am being lured back in by all the content being shared by the Antipodean fans. I haven’t watched much footage. I am still – for the most part – trying to keep myself away from it all. It’s not helping that Mister has been quite…
What I Had Dreamed Of In Paris…
This was the kind of anecdote I had wished for in 2022 in Paris when I asked the question of Jim and Charlie for their early days tour memories of Australia. Of course, what I ended up getting from Jim was some address about why they hadn’t announced any tour dates for Oz yet. By…
