Yello - Toy
My wife’s out tonight so it’s just me and the organ. First up - Jon Gillock playing Olivier Messiaen organ music. Fantastic stuff - if you’ve not heard Messiaen’s organ music before then have a listen to Diptyque
Followed by the brilliant Anna von Hausswolff and All Thoughts Fly. If you want to test your bass….
Unbelievable it was 20 years ago when Ray released his first album. His new one is a beauty. As we expect from him it has outstanding production.
Ray LaMontagne - Long Way Home
An old favourite. Uniti Core.
Excellent album Steve
This will make you smile when that album came out my girlfriend and I travelled up from Brighton to see them at Brixton Acedemy in London.
Going towards the doors it was barriers going up.I had my ticket in my hand and there where people giving flyers out the other side of the barriers.
I had a handful of various flyers and threw them on the ground…forgetting my ticket was amongst them…she got in but I was on the train back to Brighton…I was quite annoyed
She came back buzzing as it was very anticipated gig and a sold out gig
So nearly saw them …but not quite
Enjoy the Football …Come on City
And Ariel sends a meow to Belle

Evening Ian, thats rough! Had I not moved out of my flat in 1991, a mere 10 min walk to the Academy, I may well have gone to that gig as well.
Fink - Beauty In Your Wake 2024
The vinyl arrived a few days ago and I’ve waited until I could give it a clean and it’s absolutely wonderful, on the mellow side and rather well mastered.
