May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Well, Saturday’s Trevor Horn gig is almost upon us – and I have amazing news…which I assume I am allowed to share publicly, seeing as he did tell me publicly on my Facebook timeline – Mick MacNeil will be at the show!!! Performing! Only for Brothers In Arms…but, still. For me this is monumental! I…
It was quite a hike from Luton to Bristol. First a trip to London, then on from there to Bristol. I arrived at 3.45pm and met up with a friend shortly after. We had a bite to eat at the Boston Tea Party at the top of Park Street. A nice place. Looks deceptively small…

The latest Stranglers tour may have been called Back On The Tracks…but I managed to stop Baz and JJ in their tracks on Thursday night.

Tried to take pics of the whole band – with varying degrees of success. Definitely need a newer, better camera! This one of Charlie turned out quite good. I was happy with this one. Not as good. Blurry, and Charlie looks a bit grumpy (trust me to get the ever-smiling CB looking grumpy AF. Lol)…
Will have to do something with these…
Palladium: I thought I was going to be late into London. Was panicking about missing the coach to London and then traffic being chaotic and getting there with very little time to spare. As it was, I got there in plenty of time – with two hours before doors opened. I was totally dolled up….
