Nice to see he’s still going strong. Just like his namesake band in Glasgow (that I was once part of).

We’ll be playing this BTW. If you’re in Glasgow at the end of November then come see the Daughters!!

One of the few albums I bought on spec on the basis of a performance of ‘Nothing Ever Happens’ on totp. A truly wonderful band.

A photo of me with an advance copy of Andrew Wild’s latest opus, part two of his history of what became known as Neo-prog (Cough! Splutter! ). Reading through it so far it gives a useful context to what went on and when. What a long, strange trip it’s been!

Been to see the mental health nurse today. I’ve decided I need to manage my life more effectively. Meanwhile. Outside 😀

It’s out there apparently!
It’s already on Apple Music/itunes. Let me know if anyone’s found it on Spotify yet.

The Cats are sitting together - and are even touching. I can’t begin to tell you how much of a breakthrough this is.
January 10, 2025 at 5:58 PM
The cats have decided that a truce is in order whilst it remains too cold to go out
January 8, 2025 at 3:31 PM
It’s still cold out! 😂
January 6, 2025 at 5:48 PM
Both decided it’s too cold to go out, so day by the fireside instead.

Sworn enemies just chillin’ by the fire
