I see latest Fairport email is recommending not bringing dogs if possible.


I really do hope people listen to that.  Personally, I think it could have been a little bit more instructive as opposed to suggestive, but hopefully everybody will be sensible.  They won't, of course, but hey...

I got a ticket for the Tuesday bash and some lucky person got my one for Monday. Lovely people at the Mill. Things are looking good now

Currently laughing a lot at the sale price on the Franki Valli 45 disc set  Grin  Moderately tempted by the Nirvana set.  Need another £25 off to press buy on the Bonzos....
If I'd be likely to buy them now with 25 quid off 200 quid plus I'd probably have bought them in the first place.

I really feel for you. We are very fortunate in that we can leave our Labrador with my sister. Had been looking forward to bringing him in our van for the first time.

The latest Blog entry is some pontification with a rambling tone.

A review of the new Sandy Denny book, and an intriguing question!

Because it's not actually "a people's history' but more of a people that knew Sandy tome, there's a chance it might be the first of these books to actually warrant a place on the shelf.  Too cynical?  Too wrong?


I’m always slightly chary of cut n’ paste anthologies but the list of contributors on this one suggests that at least someone’s done their homework.

Various Datblygu related bands/artistes (Patblygu, Malcolm Neon etc.) in Aberteifi on Thur - 250 crowd sell out.  Barely a word of English spoken all night, but the most welcoming atmosphere you could possibly imagine.  A gig for the ages.

Talking of which, Hawkwind weekend in Morecambe.  The mighty 'wind have a stable lineup (ok, well, plus the 18 year old drummer wunderkid depping for Richard who is still very present on bongos and vocs) and are amazingly at the top of their 21st century game right now.  All six offer so much.  They were brilliant on Sat night (and not just because I was old school mashed), and all reappeared for a fantastic TOSH (Technicians of Spaceship Hawkwind) set on Sunday afternoon which was more 70s flavoured.  Amazing to see my sixth form chum, Tanya, up there with them all... Loads of other highlights too and great to spend time with 40+ year friends.

Apropos of the Hawkwind bash this weekend - does anybody here live in Morecambe?  If I'm driving there and staying at the Travelodge on Sat and Sun night, any ideas on the best place to park?  And by best I mean free/cheapest.... Smiley


I'd say your best bet is to head up Euston Grove and on to West End Road. Go along there for a bit and it's all residential streets with no parking restrictions. Otherwise there's a long stay car park along Central Drive.

Have a good weekend. We're going to a music festival at Lancaster Castle which is on all day Saturday and Sunday afternoon. It's mostly local bands and is all free.  



Thanks...actually parked at the Telephone Exchange in the end.  £18 but hassle free...
