Seems weird playing an album on vinyl for the first time when you’ve loved that album for 20 years. Sounds magnificent

Woah. @warringtonruncorn.com were amazing tonight at The Common Room, Newcastle. I’m not one for taking a lot of pics at gigs and these are pretty shit, but it will have to do.

It’s been my birthday today. Couldn’t have spent it with finer humans. Dave bought me champagne so I feel like a slut. Happy Friday x

I wanted to learn the guitar so I could play like this. Sadly I can only play Wild Thing, really really badly 🥴. Ah well… only been going a month or two.. maybe one day.

Strangely enough, I can’t listen to Chill Out without feeling a deep, inexplicable sense of foreboding. Maybe my brain hasn’t forgiven me for pushing it to the limits in the 90s!
