May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
A slight change this week – for what is usually MINDS Music Monday…for this week I wanted to share the new single from the Manic Street Preachers – featuring The Anchoress! A beautiful duet between James Dean Bradfield and Catherine Anne Davies (the Welsh do like a full name, don’t they?). Enjoy!
Amazing and wonderfully excited for Catherine with this inclusion in Robert Smith’s choice of acts for his curation of this year’s Meltdown festival at London’s Southbank. Will definitely be going to see this…with bells on! Tickets are on pre-sale for Southbank Centre members from March 13th, and on general sale on March 15th. More information…
Took my guests to St Albans today. Among the places shown were Empire Records (my first meeting with Catherine taking place there in October, 2016) and to a vintage clothes shop. Some goodies to be had in both. Found recent back issues of Mojo magazine at the record shop…complete with complimentary CDs on the covers…
The poll results are in and Catherine is in the Top 10 of female vocalists, as voted for by Prog magazine readers. Should have been No. 1! Come on! Seriously?! Congratulations, Catherine! Richly deserved!

Well, as I am currently Ms Skinty McSkintface, it was a wonderful and unexpected thing to be invited along to this final gig on Paul’s short, but almost completely sold out tour of the Spooky Action album. My exposure to the music of Paul Draper has come by way of collaborator extraordinaire, Catherine Anne Davies…

I had seen another photo in this sequence in which Jim is kissing Catherine’s cheek, but this one is just as beautiful…if not more beautiful because of the eye contact between them. I love these two people so much. They have both given me some of the most amazing experiences of my life this year….
Catherine very much seen in the vanguard of contemporary women of progressive rock. Not sharing the whole article, just her part of it (trying not to get myself into trouble for sharing). From this month’s Prog magazine…
This really was quite an unexpected treat. Catherine was very generously giving away a few tickets last week on her Facebook page. Before I commited to putting my hat in the ring, I made sure I could get there. I wasn’t going to waste her time by putting my hand up for tickets if I…
