There is a song on the new Half Man Half Biscuit album called Record Store Day.
It contains the following couplet:

'Oh, I do like to re-release me B-sides/
I do like an overpriced LP'

 Grin


HMHB never let you down😄

Dipped in and out to Glasonbury and fairly underwhelmed by what I heard. But tuned into Sunday headliner, Olivia Rodrigo and really a breath of fresh air. Great energy, great band and just fine pop/rock songs. Crowd mostly young females, sang along to every word and clearly had a ball. I was impressed.


It was a shame that the Beeb didn't seem to be showing anything from the smaller stages. Apart from catching the odd song by the likes of Pulp and Supergrass, the band I enjoyed the most was Black Uhuru. They certainly spanned the generations with an impressive young drummer while one of the singers and the keyboard player looked like they could have been in the band from the start. According to Wikipedia singer Derrick "Duckie" Simpson has been the only constant member of the band.



So far the only sets from Galastobury I've seen are Pulp (which was tremendous) and Black Uhuru, which I approached with some trepidation since only Duckie remains from their early line ups.  But I need not have worried as they were wonderful, great singer and a wonderful band.

This is very sad news. I saw many memorable Hot Rats shows at Rochester Sweeps Festival, along with FoF and of course The Wicker Man. I presume this was sudden. Again, very sad.

Avon 'Skin So Soft' is an excellent insect/fly/mosquito repellent.


As used by the Royal Marines, so I was told.

And by many missionaries/aid workers, etc. Including us.

Re. insect bites etc.. a tip I learned from the ladies who travel with me to Cropredy annually.  Avon 'Skin So Soft' is an excellent insect/fly/mosquito repellent.  They don't like it up 'em!
