I was looking forward to seeing Earl Slick but Stacy Heydon was just amazing.

Call in my reservation
Snap Kev, was 15 & my parents wouldn’t let me go from ‘up North’ all the way ti the smoke by myself. Should’ve just gone and accepted the bollocking later! Had to wait two years to see him.
Usually gets a knock this album but I love it
Wishbone Ash - ‘No Smoke Without Fire’ (1978). The album that got me into Wishbone Ash. ‘You See Red’, ‘Stand and Deliver’ and the epic ‘The Way of the World Parts I and II’ are my favourite tracks but it is all great. After this ‘New England’ and of course ‘Argus’.
Now Playing…
Anouar Brahem - Blue Maqams
Anouar Brahem (Oud), Dave Holland (Double Bass), Jack DeJohnette (Drums) and Django Bates (Piano).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… kicking off this Sunday morning with Anouar Brahem with his fabulous quartet and they are sounding sublime!

Arthur Brown. The crazy world of Arthur Brown.
He was bonkers of course but this album sounds better now than when I first bought it on vinyl.
Apple Music stream.
Also from the Who Can I Be Now? vinyl box set, here’s Re:Call 2. In the other boxes the Re:Calls are multi-disc sets. This is only a single album, but here it’s definitely a case of quality over quantity.
Beth Nielsen Chapman, her self titled debut album in 1990. Haven’t listened to this for a long time. Melancholic but love the stories she tells.
Hi,not to rub it in,but I saw this tour,and your right,it was brilliant.
