Track of the day is Talk Talk’s 1988 sublime ‘I Believe In You.’ The only single to appear from their 4th album Spirit Of Eden. Sit back, chill, listen with headphones, immerse, get the album. You can thank me later. youtu.be/tSg2OIFum3o?...

Royal Iris
The Royal Iris, originally named MV Mountwood, was constructed in 1950-1951 by William Denny and Brothers Shipbuilders in Dumbarton, Scotland. Commissioned by the Wallasey Corporation to serve as a passenger ferry for the Mersey Ferry service, operating between Liverpool and the Wirral Peninsula. First of its kind, being the first non-steam powered ferry to operate on the Mersey River. The Royal Iris was powered by diesel engines and had a capacity of over 2,000 passengers.

The Stranglers already in their 30s when punk broke during the 70s gave them a different energy. Live performances were full of intensity, aggression, a sense of menace, unease, with brooding demeanours. A tight musical unit that often put them at odds with the 3 chords wonders of the day.

Last night a talk by author Ben Wardle re his book A Perfect Silence about Talk Talk’s singer Mark Hollis. 2 things struck me. 1. The late Hollis remains an illusive enigma as before. 2. Hollis hard core fans are tormented souls - seeking answers to questions they will never resolve.
Audience at Q&A session. Afterwards, a darkened room, oil project & play back of Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden. Very moving experience seeking to replicate the studio conditions.

Spent most of the day at Rockaway Park, Temple Cloud roughly half way between Bristol and Glastonbury. (Visit!) I never take it for granted and do pinch myself every now and then when I realise what I do for a job.
