Currently working my way through my Lindisfarne and Alan Hull collection. RIP Alan, 25 years today and still missed.

If you're looking at Bass Bags, maybe try hiring one from them.

You little tease.

OK, I'll bite. What's the story behind that one? Edit: Ha! Just saw @pete.young beat me to it.

Everybody's got to be a hero sometimes. 😉

A few more for your consideration.

A voice sadly last to Parkinson's Disease

I did actually go to a gig with Danny Thompson on stage and Harry Shearer on my right.

Another positive for Hipshot. Emailed to ask about getting some replacement intonation screws and received a full set free of charge within a couple of days.

One from Tom Lehrer Sleep, baby, sleep, in peace may you slumber, No danger lurks, your sleep to encumber. We've got the missiles, peace to determine, And one of the fingers on the button will be German. Why shouldn't they have nuclear warheads? England says no, but they all are soreheads. I say a bygone should be a bygone, Let's make peace the way we did in Stanleyville and Saigon. Once all the Germans were warlike and mean, But that couldn't happen again. We taught them a lesson in 1918 And they've hardly bothered us since then.

Wonderful song , but on a point of order, that verse is by Billy Bragg (on the original Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy) The extra verse(s) on Kirsty's cover were "My dreams were full of strange ideas My mind was set despite my fears. But other things got in my way I never asked that boy to stay. Once upon a time at home I sat beside the telephone Waiting for someone to pull me through When at last it didn't ring I knew it wasn't you" These were also written by Billy, but adapted by Kirsty. On a related note, I'd propose "There's a guy works down the chip shop, swears he's Elvis Just like you swore to me that you'd be true There's a guy works down the chip shop, swears he's Elvis But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you."
