A Chip Off The Old Block?
I made a vlog which you can view by clicking the post. In it I discuss Mark Kerr’s new musical offering – hence the ‘old skool’ photo of a young Mark with his big bro. Photo credit: Virginia Turbett

Friday Free Range…?
Another vlog post in which I discuss the new academic year for uni and Jim’s latest interview.
Premiere Kerrsday!
There is an interview with Jim primed and ready for release tonight at 7pm BST. Here is the link. I’ll have to catch it later myself as I will be in a chat with my friend in San Francisco when this becomes available for viewing on YT. Ah…when will it be my turn?! (“Never”, he…
Minds Music Monday – Hunter And The Hunted – Someone Somewhere In Summertime – OGWT 1982
The footage has been dated on the YT upload as 1983, but it’s definitely 1982. Mark Ellen even alludes to New Gold Dream being a new album. I mean, yes, it still would be deemed that in early 1983 but if I look at Dream Giver Redux, It shows that the OGWT performance was recorded…
Better Late Than Never – Happy 40th New Gold Dream!
What’s happening to me? I’ve just come to a complete ceasing of wanting to write/type at the moment. I *want* to write – but I feel like I have such an excess to get off my chest that it just feels easier, and more fun in some ways, to just do a vlog. I like…

Let’s Rock With The Dreamers
I hadn’t mentioned this in my previous post about Sheila Rock (“Jim’s not a poser”. Haha! In the strictest terms of how Sheila was defining “a poser” – then, yeah, he’s probably not one. I’ll give her that) but those photos she had been sharing on her Instagram account for the SAF photoshoot will be…
Magazine And Fanzine Kerrsday
Yesterday I did some scanning of things that I had sent to me from Dutch fan Dennie. There’s quite a bit to get through and I only got about a third of the way through what I have been sent. I’ll post on the blog what I think are the most interesting and complete bits….
Have Your Say – Just Don’t Say “Meh”!
Time to dissect the feedback that First You Jump has had so far. From what I can see, the consensus is an overwhelmingly positive one. It’s never going to be a 100% success rate. I’m not even sure the likes of New Gold Dream has achieved total 100% positivity in feedback (there will always be…
September Siesta! Plus – NEW GOLD DREAM CELEBRATION – Return To Pulse 21/9/2022
*** Some uni talk alert *** UPDATE: NEW DATE FOR NGD RADIO SHOW I now feel truly able to relax for a few weeks as I have had my grant approved (found out yesterday) and I’ve been able to complete the registration of my next uni module. I was relieved to have submitted my final…
