25.01.2022 OH TO TRAVEL AGAIN champs 22.9.20 when this lockdown’s over and doors and windows open and barriers are pulled down... and we can all head bush oh to travel again the simplest stretch of two-lane to swagger the nut-strewn roads in words of Philip Larkin do you you get a flashback to a favourite stretch of highway that’s easily brought to mind and calls you back there now there’s a stretch of Glenelg Highway between Smythesdale and Scarsdale and then Linton to Skipton with cafes we could sit at the privilege of travel we couldn’t have so foreseen to pull off at an oval and breath the countryside oh to travel again we’ll celebrate together at a cafe in Walhalla that holds fifteen people
23.01.2022 BACK AT THE LOMOND ! This Sunday Dec. 13 . The single most missed thing during Lockdown; a Lomond gig. 4pm. The pub requests that you book. Mark Ferrie, Andrew Pendlebury, Tony Thornton join me in The Useful Members Of Society. 'Mature Rock' - with doses of immaturity.

15.01.2022 I have been nominated to post 180 Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform tablets that profoundly influenced me, at any point in my life. One each day, for 180 days. I was instructed to post each tablet without explanation.

07.01.2022 Just the second band gig in a year, due to the virus. D'ya reckon the lads weren't excited to play again ? And Sorrento RSL and its people - perfect.
