Sorry to hear about the funeral Gary. And I agree about the weather.

Thanks Trev. It's ok about the funeral; it wasn't entirely unexpected but a shame he passed away. No great age by todays reckoning at 82.
The service took place in St Mary's Church in Welshpool, a building I've passed several times a week for more than three decades but never been inside. It's quite stunning in the church, very large with huge stained glass windows and the feel of a cathedral rather than a local church in a small borders market town. Worth a quick look if you're over that way at some point.

As for the weather; it's as grey, drizzly, and miserable today as it was yesterday.

The neighbours now think I'm even more nuts. Have just washed both cars in the drizzling rain. Had new tyres fitted to Lady Poppy's car this morning and the finger marks Kwik Fit left in the dirt on the rims was irritating me enough to just get on with it.

Bizarrely cheaper to fly and stay over night in Berlin, than see him in the UK, even if I could have got a ticket. All sold out here until next year's tour

He's the freshest new music I've heard in a long time.

Check out Hypersonic Missiles video. It's my kind of music, still rocking at 58

Been loving Sam Fender. Been playing him in the club I DJ in. Hypersonic Missiles & Will We Talk both stink of Springsteen...and that is no bad thing in my opinion!

Count me in if there's space for a little (big) one.

Yep, that's why I like Sam Fender, as I'm a Springnut, big wall of sound, especially with a saxophone. It's proper music
