25 years ago on May 16th 2001 I ran a live event "Back in Time Live" in Birmingham. It was one of the first big reunions of 8-bit types, and was unusual enough for BBC Midlands to send a reporter, and they interviewed Ben Daglish, David Whittaker and Richard Joseph. youtu.be/MDRJvnHThCU

The story is covered in the 8-bit symphony 2 booklet, but no one knows who Mike Alsop was: Wizardry and Fairlight were done by Clever Music (Graham Jarvis and Bob Hartshorne).

It was a bit of a serious tune after Monty on the Run with some much less accessible chord progressions and a dirtier sound.

Who would win in a Reacher vs Reacher cage match with Tom Cruise's version? Would the tiny stunt addict have a surprise or two up his mini-sleeves?

People claiming remixes as original works is definitely crappy. It’s dumb that streaming platforms don’t have a “this entity’s claim to this is invalid”.

Finally. Unmodified Tut-Tut for the ZX81 running on ZX81 BASIC for the Minstrel 4th running on a Jupiter Ace emulator running on a Windows 7 emulator running on a Linux PC. I am sure I will write an excessively long blog post about it. Thanks to @zx81keyboardadventure.com for helping sort this.

I love Allister Brimble's covers of David Whittaker's works btw. I often listen to his Leatherneck remake: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I09i... ; sometimes my younger son (8 years old) sings it when getting ready for school. It fills me with joy that he too will remember this music from his youth.
