A lesson to all who care to listen. A day in the Bridge of Cows with top mates may result in, nay, inevitably result in, situations like this. Happy days. Night all ☺️🤘🏼🍻

The mood is set for Saturday film night. My current fave German beer, the last instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise, lights off, candles lit and here we go. So much better than the cinema. Noice. Cheers 🕯️🎬🍺 xx

A day of sound chasing with my fave bass “Nyx” (Ibanez Prestige SR3500) and the all you need and ridiculous value, Zoom B2 Four. What a sound and combination. I really needed this today ☺️✨🙏🏻

Expectations can weigh us down, but even in the darkest moments, light finds a way through.
Life isn’t always easy, but it means something, and so do you. Be good, be kind and be true. Keep fighting the good fight.
Much love ✨☺️ xx

A properly amazing day. I woke up super pissed off but as the day progressed, things brightened up brilliantly. A result for the band & an amazing day with the bestest of friends. Genuinely thankful. No matter what life throws at us, it’s always friends & family that makes it all worthwhile ☺️🙏🏻✨ xx

Some interesting finds today in the deep, dark recesses of Casa Cohen. This must surely be Operation Sort My Shit Out part XLV? It is truly amazing what I’ve kept over the years. Why? 👀🫣😂
PS I’m up for selling these on if anyone is interested. Make me an offer. Cheers ✨

This is simply amazing. I’ve never seen this footage before, and so glad I found it. I really wish I could have seen the band during this era. A special time, and a very special album for me 🥰✨

I’m a cat person through and through, but occasionally my head is turned. This lovely dog had that effect on me today. Such a sweet soul, and so charismatic. Drooled like a mutha fecker though. That side eye is hysterical. A good day out ☺️✨🥰

I never need an excuse to play this album, but today, it feels right to listen to my fave KISS album and raise a glass to Ace. Thank you for the music, and safe journey. RIP 🙏🏻✨

A Top of the Pops morning geeking out over bass with a couple of good pals. Four Fender Precision basses from 3 countries of manufacture, from 3 different decades, and all modded with BadAss II bridges. Which one would you choose? 🥰✨

Having a beautiful night rediscovering the brilliance of King Crimson. I love all the iterations, but the 80’s lineup with Adrian Belew is very special. I hope they make it to these shores. These guys are incredible and the way they present the music is simply stunning ☺️🙏✨

What a relief……. First doctors appointment in 12 years and thankfully, apart from the things I can’t change about myself, I was given the all clear. Phew! Hopefully I’ll sleep a little better now. Have a good one. Catch you soon 🙏✨

I admire knowledge, respect insight, celebrate intelligence, and cherish empathy. I feel compassion for those who lack understanding, and deep concern for those unwilling to see beyond their own view.
Be good to one another. Night all. Much love 🙏✨ xx
