BOO HEWERDINE & REG MEUROSS
I've been at a small village hall this evening, in the lovely village of Thornton Hough, in the Wirral, just over the water from Liverpool.
It's always an absolute delight to see Boo - with the wonderful Reg too.

I visited Jack White's 'Third Man Records' shop in London a few weeks back. A yellow record shop is a thing of real beauty. Lots of great records inside - plus a nice selection of guitar FX pedals too.

Cob Records in North Wales originally set up shop in 1967. These days, it's stacked mainly of thousands of secondhand CDs, and there's also quite a bit of vinyl. You'll require several hours to go through all the racks. The Ffestiniog Railway is located directly opposite.

I'll never tire of reading about the recording of Talk Talk's 'Spirit Of Eden'.
I'd completely forgotten that all six songs originally had different working titles, such as 'Maureen' and 'Norm'. This is such an interesting article.

There have been a couple of mentions of this album, so I'm checking out what all the fuss is about. It's about as stripped back as you can get, sultry vocals over an acoustic guitar. Divine.

I found this early cutting of @thecharlatans.bsky.social. The gig was before @tim-burgess.bsky.social joined the band (he was the singer in the support band, The Electric Crayons). Baz Ketley left the band shortly after the gig. A very young Martin Blunt is shown in the pic.

A question I've been pondering:
Why do most bands split up?
- Musical differences
- Singer offered solo deal
- Personality clashes
- Kicked off the label
- Run out of ideas
- Demoralised with the industry
Any others?
Which of these do you think is the most common reason?

For me, this album remains the pinnacle of The National's catalogue. The album kicks off really well, but goes into orbit in the second half, with songs such as 'Lemonworld', 'England' and 'Conversation 16'.
