Today we “WaltzInBlack” for the keyboard legend that is The Stranglers’ Dave Greenfield, who sadly passed away last night having contracted Covid-19. Laid back and unassuming, Dave was an absolute master of his craft. He will be very sadly missed. Taken from us far too soon.
Well…it’s a theory… I had to ask. Anyway…my passport is ready. And the money will soon follow… My passport photo STILL sucks! Lol. Can we see supermodel passport photos?

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…

A great capture of the first day of the Musilac Festival in Aix-Les-Bains in July.
There is so much to cover with such a Festival. I have never been to such a HUGE event. The local paper in Aix-Les-Bains the following morning reported a crowd of 25,000 people there for day one of the festival. A big old crowd! And I think I can safely say it’s the biggest (and…
