Thought I'd give "Hackett & Rothery - The Roaring Waves" (new album) a listen - on @TIDAL and it's wonderful. Have now ordered the CD @HackettOfficial @steverothery "When two Steves are better than one" (but not necessarily two heads--)

I've no special kit for #eclipse photography, so this series was on the Nikon with 300mm zoom, shot through a "visually opaque" Infra red filter, the sun so bright it just gets through. Then a coupe more conventional shots - nice low sunlight shortly after the UK max -

My juvenile sense of humour always enjoyed the German "Himmelfahrt"

One of the few classics I've not widely used. - We had Leica bodies for the Reprovit copy camera at work, had to cut the leaders specially. On the subject of Rangefinders, - here's one I found earlier. (The film I put through it was years out of date, hence the high fog level)

Their most recent big hit -- (1978!) On of my fave bands, first saw them in 78, but it's their 70-73 albums that stand out

Nice. Never saw Alan or Lindisfarne in Birmingham, but was fun to see the venue "Digbeth Civic Hall - Birmingham" on the poster. It's now the "O2 Institute" - and I was there last Monday for Henry Moodie. Fine venue, seen a few bands there. Pics and vid from last week youtu.be/iRM1TqF75To

Hi Chris - Just to say thanks for continuing to tag me in your Lindisfarne (etc) posts. Love to see. I don't use this app that much, hence lack of replies, with apologies. Hope all is well, etc
