Fine dining, 1966. Artist: Kenneth Inns

Two children help themselves to a large plates of blamange, sausages, salad, and eclairs. The girl, like a young Lucy Worsley, eats slowly and demurely. The boy piles up his plate

Incredibly sad about this news I loved Sass Jordan's 90s albums esp Rats. Amazing singer songwriter and should have been massive.

Barnsley Folk Festival excellent Saturday evening for a tenner surrounded by friends with values. We need values at the moment and to read away from social media. Left another gig after a quick visit last night I prefer to be around socially conscious people nowadays n care about my heritage

Just thinking back to my first and 2nd jobs at then well known banks. One to one conversations were had with me by the managers as to my spending on boots, vinyl and my hair. Thankfully they'd no idea the bit I spent in cash went on gigs and alcohol 😂. Sure they be in trouble for harassment now

There's a running joke in this house that if I like something, that means it's bad and will be taken away, discontinued or destroyed. The Ridings Shopping Centre in #Wakefield is the latest. But I have some photos, at least...

My elderly parents copper landline ended today. Of course the new set up hasn't worked properly DIY or try to get an engineer. Kept a landline as a safety back up now I've confirmed running the phones via a virgin hub means no phone in a power cut what's the point in a landline and mobile?

After sitting on it for 6 months wondering whether there was any point releasing any more music I’ve gone for it and uploaded a new album to Bandcamp ready for publishing tomorrow. If this seems like an underwhelming piece of promo I can only apologise. I hope someone out there enjoys the music.

Scooter for Download. Yes that Scooter considered a joke 20 odd years ago, and on many a Les Mills fitness class cd. Yet another reason why I see mainly British and European original acts in indie venues. What the masses allegedly want and what I like to spend my cash on don't match.
