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!
Conquering Fears…
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…
Reversal Of Fortune…
I do think we may have gone full circle now. I am so happy…but more than happy…relieved. In all honesty, the only thing I really regret now (apart from the obvious…) is – taking my Priptona name away. But, I was thinking that, if I had been banished from SMO, I may as well revert…

Review: Thumpasaurus – The Social, London – August 8th, 2018

Minds Music Monday – Someone Somewhere In Summertime
Because…it was Saturday’s highlight…and felt as special as this version from 2012 seems. Beautiful! ??
Review: Grandslam – KT Tunstall, Pretenders, Simple Minds – Kent Event Centre, Maidstone – August 4th, 2018
I could start with the whole personal account with the logistics of getting to the gig, etc…but it is actually too horrendous to go over it all. Put it this way…all the trepidation I was feeling about going was being made manifest. So…let’s skip all that. I met up with Ally Scott and her husband…
