If anyone wants to avoid paying silly prices to the flippers online, there are still some copies of the David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour "Between Two Points" 12" in my local record shop: Europa Music, Stirling - they received a decent allocation of the 12" #TheMontgolfierBrothers

Misty morning . Trees and distant mountains slowly appearing from the morning mist . The Mist hovers across the salt marsh creeks. A bleak and cold early morning

Evening brisk walk as it was cold, wet, and misty

A colour photograph of a dark street. There are cars to the left and terraced houses to the right which are in shadows. There is a bright orange glow of the street lamps at the end of the street which highlights the pavement. It was a misty damp night.

A coupla local legends will be the meat (veg, of course!) in the middle of Sat night's indiepop sandwich. Mark Tranmer formerly of Montgolfier Bros & James Hackett of The Orchids come together to bring us the exquisite Vetchinsky Settings. This will be the 1st live outing of this act in the UK! 😃

A daisy with white petals and yellow centre with raindrops on the petals . Flower is on a black background , the stalk can’t be seen giving the appearance that the flower head is floating.
