Along with reams of short stories, and longer attempts at fiction, I’ve written countless poems over the decades. The bulk were written in my teens and twenties and I literally have folders full of handwritten and typewritten compositions. I’d been threatening to put a selection into print since the mid-90’s. I remember discussing it with … Continue reading (Poetry) Guilt

#RPGaDAY2022 Day 31 – When did you first take part in #RPGaDAY?
Welcome to #RPGaDAY2022! Now in its ninth year, #RPGaDAY was originally created by RPG author and games designer David Chapman (Conspiracy X, Doctor Who, etc) as a bit of fun and to get people talking about tabletop roleplaying games. August was chosen, I believe, to coincide with tabletop roleplaying’s gaming mecca that is Gen Con … Continue reading #RPGaDAY2022 Day 31 – When did you first take part in #RPGaDAY?
GIG 222: Sheep On Drugs / Cranium H.F. – LA2, 22nd July 1995
This was almost my last ever concert. It was a Saturday night and I did this gig at the LA2, headed to Slimelight all night, my parents for lunch and the afternoon on Sunday followed by seeing a load of friends on Sunday night. On Monday I was off to Manchester (well, Stockport) to stay … Continue reading GIG 222: Sheep On Drugs / Cranium H.F. – LA2, 22nd July 1995

GIG 221: The Rolling Stones / The Black Crowes – Wembley Stadium, 16th July 1995
When it comes to classic bands there are few that are bigger than The Rolling Stones. I was never hugely into The Rolling Stones, or The Beatles for that matter, from the 60's crop of bands. The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix were more my thing. I would add Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac to … Continue reading GIG 221: The Rolling Stones / The Black Crowes – Wembley Stadium, 16th July 1995

GIG 220: 311 – Camden Palace, 11th July 1995
Tuesday night at Camden Palace had some good bands, some bad bands, and bands from all over the indie-rock-alt-dance spectrum. 311 were (or I should say are as they're still going) American alt.rock band that fused funk into the mix. I guess a little like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and a few other bands that … Continue reading GIG 220: 311 – Camden Palace, 11th July 1995

GIG 219: Catherine Wheel – Camden Palace, 4th July 1995
Tuesday night and back to Feet First at Camden Palace. We'd popped into the World's End in Camden for a few drinks beforehand, before wandering up Camden High Street for a nights clubbing. As with the usual Feet First pattern we danced until midnight, watched whatever band was on, and then continued to dance until … Continue reading GIG 219: Catherine Wheel – Camden Palace, 4th July 1995
