December 2002 Nottingham Arena INXS (with new singer) and Blondie INXS on first, very good. Blondie, appalling, vocals totally flat, walked out after three songs. The only live gig I have ever left early.

Currently on (Saturday 4.00 to 6.15pm) classic artists, Yes. Very interesting documentary.

We currently have “ No Matter What” in our set, great song, really enjoy playing it and doing backing vocals.

Been attempting Tom Sawyer by Rush over the last couple of days, it’s stretching my ability to its limit, especially the section over the synth playing mid song, getting it up to speed and correct phrasing gave me a headache. I’m determined to crack it.

Life’s Been Good - Joe Walsh

James Gang - Funk#49

Driving in my Car - Madness

Currently obsolete - Madonna - Holiday George Michael - Freedom Mamas and Papas - Leaving on a jet plane Chris Rea - On the Beach

This just gives me goosebumps and makes me feel emotional.

Simon Kirke. As I know most of the Free songs down to a tee, I would feel very comfortable getting up on stage with him doing the songs from his early days, it would be an absolute dream.

I did also have the privilege of playing with an Ex Quo drummer, Jeff Rich, beautiful DW kit with the most awesome snare sound, that snare has some history. Ludwig Black Beauty Jeff plays a Ludwig Black Beauty Snare which was made in 1979. The drum was originally owned by Rick Allen from Def Leppard and was used on various Def Leppard albums including Pyromania and Hysteria. The drum was also used on a Mettalica album, Master of Puppets. Jeff bought the drum off Rick whilst working with Def Leppard in 1984/5 after Rick lost an arm in a car accident. Jeff has used the drum on many Status Quo albums and concerts and says, “This drum is without doubt one of the best rock snare drums ever produced. The sound is fantastic and it has never let me down”.

Just heard this on the radio, totally forgot about it and I have the album.

Tonight Saturday 13th February 7.00pm Kings of Leon live at the 02 9.00pm Muse - Drones World Tour 11.00pm Coldplay - A Head Full of Dreams

Jasper Carrott

Year of the Bat, or maybe Pangolin 🦠

As I watched it, I actually thought it was a spoof documentary until I checked out the band on google.

I happened to dip into the final 30 minutes, never heard of The Nightingales before, unfortunately I was left unimpressed by the whole band. 👎

Tonight (Friday) at 8.00pm. Back to basics pub rock movement that emerged in the South of England in the 1970’s.

Humans (Homo Sapiens), we are a species of highly intelligent (questionable at times) primates, as a species we rely on complex social structures and social interacting. The pandemic has virtually ceased social interacting (normality) and until that returns, unfortunately none of your issues listed will be high on the list of priorities.
