A 3CD  live album of Danny Thompson's whatever  from Jazz in Britain.

Once again I'm reminded of the  passage of time. Must have been the  80s i  saw the band at a small  local venue.

I do hope that the revolting potions are a brewing for the Toast this year.

I suggest 8.00pm at the bar, just after Hayseed Dixie unless anyone objects.

As usual, there will be a collection for Teenage Cancer Trust, so bring your pennies (or more) please.

Do we have a volunteer - or a nomination - to do the Toast this year?

See you there.

My only experience of her in the flesh was at the Vetch when she was introduced pitchside at half time 30 odd years ago.  The reception was 'mixed' but she seemed to take it all in good humour.  I recall her miming (presumably) along to a few of her hits but I might be wrong...the 90s were a bit hazy at times.

She was a Swansea legend, would arrive at her local pub and sing all evening with the locals.

She'll be especially mourned in South Wales.


That gives an impression of the woman as well as the singer.
Sad news.

Bonnie Tyler, aged 75, following emergency intestinal surgery in May.  Sad https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9326rq1509t?


Oh no, that is sad news.

Very sad news

RIP Beaky

Only one of them left now

I met Beaky in 2009 at his club The Gig in Benavista in Spain where my brother-in-law was living. He was a great host, chatted to everyone and sang “With A Girl Like You” (The Troggs song, not the Rutles) for me.

RIP Beaky
Somewhere secreted away I've got their autographs from when they were Dave Dee and the Bostons!
