Retired IT professional, part-time mandolin player, left-leaning atheist, full-time grandfather, father and husband. Eternally pissed off and grumpy with the state of the world.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching “One Battle After Another” last night (way more than I’d expected), so I felt it was highly appropriate to give this a spin today.

We had planned to see The Session Man (a documentary on the life and work of Nicky Hopkins) but, due to some technical mix up, our tickets weren’t booked.
So, instead of that, I’m having a little vinyl tribute to Mr Hopkins this evening with a couple of albums that he contributed a huge amount to.

Vinyl night - it’s slightly shambolic, loose-limbed, rambunctious rock’n’roll time….

It’s been some years since I last played this - damn, it stands the test of time (and I can even forgive Phil Lynott’s difficulty in understanding whereabouts in town the jailbreak might be taking place).

The candles are lit, the Malbec is poured and I’m feeling like I’m back in 1972 as I’m spinning this on the turntable at the moment.
Now, where did I put my cheesecloth shirt and my army surplus greatcoat…?

I know it’s only February, but I’ve found my film of the year (and a definite entry into my favourite films of all time list). Utterly gripping and compelling, brilliant ensemble cast - go see it now!!
