Today's listening will mainly be Europe.
Don't be fooled into thinking they are lightweight.
Check out GTO from the bands last album Walk The Earth from 2017. It's damn heavy & John Norum's guitar solo absolutely rips, you can hear the guitar strings melting.

Urne are probably the best Metal band the UK has produced in years. So looking forward to the new album.

With a song about hope, the human spirit, and a fire that never goes out, what better time to release it than Bonfire night!
Listen to this loud, and keep the spirit alive!! Watch the full video in the link in our bio

I had a yellow one. Great fun bikes. The center gear stick was revolutionary but woe betide if you tried changing gear at any sort of speed.

Todays Heavy Metal attire.
Uriah Heep Abominog.
One of my favourites from the band. Pete Goalby's vocals are immense. A stunning album as far as im concerned.

Well blow me down with the old proverbial.
Another cycling commuter on my train this morning. It was the same person as Friday that was running late.
In the past year I can count on one hand how many other cycling commuters that have taken this train.
