Just over a year ago we were in the fascinating company of film composer SIMON BOSWELL for an intriguing and educational - an insight into the film industry and also working with the Pope 🙂

As a huge fan of "European trash cinema" (a term I say with affection) this was a very special one for me personally...and then we were treated to a little performance of soundtrack work snippets from Simon.

His 10 choices were...

1. BIKE - Pink Floyd
2. SHY - Advertising
3. LANGUAGE - 23 Skidoo
4 DEMONS 2 VIDEOMIX - Simon Boswell
5 WORKING LATE NIGHT - Amii Stewart
6. ITS HORRIBLE, I LOVE IT WHAT IS IT? - Simon Boswell/the AND vinyl
7. THE SLEEPING DICTIONARY - Simon Boswell
8. MARY STREET MarY - Simon Boswell /Simon Armitage
9 LA EXORCISTA POSSESSION - Simon Boswell
10 JOLENE Dolly Parton/Simon Boswell

King Ha! King Ho! Thanks to everyone who came down to with last night at the - unsurprisingly probably the most theatrical and flamboyant guest we’ve ever had, certainly not had guests strutting to their choices in the past!

Some unexpected but fun choices and it was nice to play my dad’s 60+ year old Rolling Stones 7” as one of Ed’s important choices.

Our next event is with Dave Rowntree of Blur which has sold out already…so see some of you at that!

Sometimes I think some people love too much, and I’m sorry if they’re feeling a bit sore if they miss out on tickets to on Thursday 20th November at the Cellar Arts Club. Maybe they’ll be unlucky…or also suffer from triskaidekaphobia.

I may not post about it as might be sold out by the time I do :)

Posters and mockets ready for tonight’s with - we have one ticket (bundle if you’d like) left over at www.musicsaves.co.uk

Avoiding any image issues with the below description. What a weapon Diana wields. Maybe in my head it’s looking a bit like the cover to Colonel Abrams “Trapped” Style goals to aspire to for us all.

Anyway, announcement and on sale THIS FRIDAY at 9am for Thursday 20th November at the Cellar Arts Club CIC. My mailing list members get the heads up tomorrow night.

Looks like things are all lined up for announcement/ on sale THIS FRIDAY at 9am for our event on Thursday 20th November at the Cellar Arts Club CIC in .

With that in mind kicking back with a quick go on this classic game, never quite got the hang of it years ago.

(Hopefully I’m okay with this photo 🙂 )

So after some recent events I’m being a bit cautious over photos I share for my daft clues to forthcoming guests…so in the style of some recent Pink Floyd style album descriptions I’m instead going to have to describe the photos. Hey ho.

Anyhoo announcement and on sale will be 9am THIS FRIDAY for Thursday 20th November….mailing list members get the heads up of what it is the day before…in all honesty I think this one will be sold out by the time the social media events pages are up :)

The last thing I need in this house (apart from more records and European trash cinema blu rays) is obviously more music biogs…but couldn’t resist picking these up from a charity shop 🙂

Sharing annually for those new followers picked up in a year…and as ever the text for this post should be in ALL CAPS in keeping with his social media style, but 9 years ago I was watching a phenomenal 3 hour set from The Cure in Copenhagen, after which thanks to the mercurial magic of Mr Joe Black we got to go to the “after show”

I spent most of the time chatting to Reeves Gabrels’ wife and got to meet Reeves (stupidly didn’t get a photo with him, I was very excited as such a huge fan of Bowie’s “1.Outside”

Robert popped in briefly and realising he was about to leave I had to dash across the room to get this snap. Mission accomplished.

It’s Monday - on a Tuesday! I have actually been sat on the test pressing for the first proper release from the Music Saves label for a week, but had to wait until last night to test it out on the Mount Olympus style hifi set up c/o the wonderful Craig and the “r&d lab” of , with after an ultrasonic clean the record was played via an optical cartridge worth more than some people make in a year.

So if it sounded good here, then the vinyl set up of us mere mortals should certainly deliver the goods…and thankfully it did, truly a goosebump moment hearing the opening track on this set up and realising after all the nerve wracking work that’s gone on with this release we’re finally at this crucial approval stage. Feedback from the band so far has been positive so all looking good to press the button on the full pressing…heading to my hallway mid November for the next stage…

Stay tuned for further transmissions…

PS not representative of the final vinyl colour!
