Click on Thumbnail to reveal the author of the website at one of many superb evenings we have had, in the company of Gill, Sara and Tasha

This site would not have been possible without the help of our good friend and blues and country loving guitar player Alan - Please check out his web site at: http://www.telecaster1.talktalk.net/
Also these artist's sites:
The one and only:francis dunnery
The incomparable:ian hunter
The two and only:ebtg
From the best band e...:it bites
The most sublime:a girl called eddy
The real deal:the devlins
and it does not come any better than:the proclaimers



So there are two bands that are always in the boom box and who I just don't tire of listening to. Contrasting musical styles but both brilliant in their own ways.


First up is the local boys making good, Neil Ivison and the Misers, for a soulful, rocking, song filled night out

and, HEM, fantastic songs, played achingly and evocatively and sung so sweetly. Rabbit Songs, Eveningland, No Word from Tom and Funnel Cloud are stunning albums.

Finally The Production Services Association that is doing a lot to keep us all working: http://www.psa.org.uk/


Keeping me working, well you may consider that a good or bad thing after clicking on the thumbnail to see The 4SpeccyGits - no, not a new supergroup, as one of them has NO musical talent whatsoever!

Lastly, who says that ligging isn't fun, as I get to go on the Neighbours set down in Melbourne and hang with my namesake aka Lou Carpenter.
