Two of our cats were playing in the garden. Pebbles chased Shadow up the palm tree.

Ooch! No bass playing for a while then 😮‍💨

Love Beach is a real shocker. I am sure it reinforced or even caused some people's dislike of the album.

A lot of the "worst" albums by otherwise great bands come down to contractual obligations. We have to do a new album but have zero ideas or intrest. Also record company interference is a factor, a lot of promisesing artists fall foul of some executives vision of a wider audience.

As a septuagenarian myself when you see a list like that it brings it home.

Brave covers band opening with Wuthering Heights. She did well and didn't murder it.

Consider this your sign to go outside before it gets dark at 4pm again.

It looks like there maybe a nursery cryme in the offing!

We made it up the M5 as far as Sedgemoor services before we needed a "comfort break". Rare occurrence these days.

There is a lot of excellet choices so I will keep it local and say Renaissance in Exeter.

I am watching a performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons by The Academy of Ancient Music I recorded off Sky Arts a while back. They have a Therabo, the 17 century double necked lute. Very prog. 😄

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Only 5 for me which is a surprise as there are so many albums in there I know well.

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Sounds good. I will be seeing them in London next month. Second time this year for me as I was at the warmup gig in Southampton.

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Tough to pick just one, but I go for Floyd. The Bristol Hippodrome was a decent venue it would have been good to see them there. The only time I saw them was the infamous Knebworth gig. I saw both Greenslade and Gentle Giant around that time

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

A lot of good ones in there. I am going to say Horslips as I never saw them.

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I was at the Bristol Hippodrome show on this tour.

The postman has been with my "directors cut" copy of Robert Reed's Compendium. Features many "names" including Steve Hackett, Gavin Harrison, Mel Collins, Nick Beggs, Jakko Jakszky, John Mitchell and Dave Stewart (the one from Egg and NHS) among others.

The envelope that contained the goodies.

A couple of the postcards included in the package.

Bright and sunny here today. Nice but I am off to a retina screening appointment so I would have preference yesterday's fog for when I come out with pupils on maximum dilation!

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Hackett and Bruford is quite a double bill, so that one for me too. Also there is Renaissance

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Floyd too. But lots of others are very tempting.

I love this video of Bellever in November 2024 I found. It was very cold with a light dusting of frost, there was a beautiful mist over the river and that night snow fell. #Dartmoor, #Devon #photography

Thanks, but 1970 is too early. I am pretty sure I was at Torquay Tech. It would have been '72 or '73.

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I saw them in a club in Torquay, i can't remember the name of the club and have been unable to find anything online about the gig.

A few snaps from last night's John Hackett Band gig at Ashburton Arts. Great performance throughout by the band and support Heather Findlay. I was there with @singingconductor.bsky.social

Heather Findlay plays a solo support set of songs and spoken word.

Heather joined the band for a few songs.

An absolute classic of an album.

The story of Ernest #Shackleton 's #Antartic expedition in 1916 is an incredible tale of survival in the most extreme circumstances. One of the survivors, Lionel Greenstreet lived very close to me. There is a good chance I would have passed him in the street when I was a child.

Looks like Torbay council is doing something about the intorable delays caused by roadworks on the A385 at #Churston. Work will stop until October and restart with a new traffic management plan. Fingers crossed.

Visited our local National Trust Coleton Fishacre near #Kingswear this afternoon. Lovely as always.

1971 for me. I was 16 which probably explains why.

Not on the list but Autumn by Strawbs is a favourite of mine.

Tough one, and always depends on my mood but Firth of Fifth of Tarkus or Sweet Child In Time.

Brunel and Turner, two greats of the 19th Century. I love this painting.

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Looks like we are effectively under siege here in #Brixham with roadworks at #Churston adding an hour and a half to journeys in and out. It would literally be faster to walk the 5 miles to Paignton. Due to end late November!!!

The story of Keith Emerson's GX1 youtu.be/bmQZSYhbr9w?... Needless to say I have an emulation of the later GX-80, but not the chops.

The July Wakes Festival. Quite a line up! Fairport, Five Hand Reel, Richard and Linda Thompson and the Bothy Band just for starters. AND they have "Fresh water toilets" !!!
