A Spin Of Nostalgia

A Spin Of Nostalgia

Clashing and Swapping – Gigs To Attend and Ones That Can’t Be

Clashing and Swapping – Gigs To Attend and Ones That Can’t Be

I feel as if I’ve been a juggler these past few days. Well, weeks, actually. One of the first gigs I booked for attending this year was to see The Anchoress in London next month. From there it’s been a bit of a headache trying to get all the rest of it sorted. Mercifully, there…

International Women’s Day 2025 – from The Anchoress to Zoe Graham

International Women’s Day 2025 – from The Anchoress to Zoe Graham

I would say that my own personal tastes in music has been largely made up of male groups and solo artists. Why is that? I think the link between music and its “feel good” effects combined with my sexual attraction to men and the aural appeal of lower register voices has been the main reasons…

The Best of 2024 – Part 1 – Music

The Best of 2024 – Part 1 – Music

I think it has come to that time of the year where I’d list the various highlights of 2024. It will no doubt be a bit of a hotch-potch of a list. I haven’t been to a lot of gigs this year. I haven’t had too many days out. I haven’t read much either –…
