The best pub in the world!
OK, I accept I haven’t been to every pub in the world, but I have been to quite a few, and this is my absolute favourite. And I will be spending a week (and lots of money) there very soon at the Fellowship Of Rock and Roll (or is that the Fellowship Of Rum andContinueContinue reading “The best pub in the world!”

Like Woodstock, Man
A compilation to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock. I’ve been listening to the ‘Woodstock’ and ‘Woodstock 2’ CDs over and over recently and decided to compile a ‘Woodstock 3’ CD.

David’s Confession – About Time, Chapter 2
Info from http://www.melbotes.co.za The dramatic introduction in “Alpha 1” flows into the riveting song of a flute that suddenly proceeds to a stunning symphony of sounds. “Change” reveals man’s quest for answers and the ensuing discord if the answers are unsatisfactory. After a tranquil guitar intro follows the somewhat tumultuous “The Horseman”. “Confessions” with itsContinueContinue reading “David’s Confession – About Time, Chapter 2”

New Music Now: Gossip – Music For Men
After only one listen I am in love with this album. A variety of styles and influences abound here. Fine Young Cannibals-style R&B with Electro-rock guitars and the vocals of Big Beth Ditto. Like Duffy on steriods … and that’s a good thing. If you like Zebra & Giraffe and Flash Republic you will probablyContinueContinue reading “New Music Now: Gossip – Music For Men”
