I write about London recording studios, the people who worked there and the music they made:

@iainso999.bsky.social A very special day.

The lineup for the 1967 Jazz & Blues Festival at Windsor; famous for seeing the debut of Fleetwood Mac. Someone commented how much guitar talent was on show so… Well, I love a challenge.

Today, it is 25 years since this gorgeous woman said ‘I do,’ and we got married.

She is my rock, my forever girl and my best friend.

We’ve had some amazing adventures together; and there’s plenty more still to come.

Happy 25th anniversary, JB. I love you to bits

A priceless evening with a musical hero. A showing of the film The Immediate Family plus a Q&A by David Hepworth, with Lee Sklar.
It’s a brilliant film, full of love and warmth, and is on a streaming platform right now.
Lee is the most humble, sweet guy who has time for everyone.
A great night.

In all of the excitement of today I forgot to post this.
I’m not one for pride about things I’ve done but I couldn’t be more proud of myself for this.

Day 1,095.

Three years.

However, the day could have thrown up anything and Janet wouldn’t have cared. Just after we arrived, her favourite ever Arsenal player, Manu Petit, walked through the door. I grabbed him before it got busy and he was so wonderful with her.

A fantastic night @TheJazzCafe with @TheHangingStars. Sid Griffin was on the bill too so I finally got to see him. The band made a great noise and built a terrific setlist to wow a packed audience. Definitely a band on the up.

@dannythechamp.bsky.social This is a handy guide, Danny. The bit of software it suggests is very good at finding who you follow on Twitter.

A terrific night with Jason Isbell and his great band at London’s Hammy O. A strong setlist, enthusiastic crowd and good sound made for a memorable night.

Two of the songs ‘wot my brother wrote’ are answers on Pointless. The question is ‘acts that followed up a No.1 with a No.2.’

This handy guide seems to be helping new arrivals so I’ll keep sharing it.
The Find Your Friends software works a treat; even I found it easy!
