Graham Parker's Howlin' Wind by Jay Nachman with Graham Parker and The Rumour (Tangible Press, 2025)

"If not just Parker’s music, but pub rock, the roots of UK punk, and great stories about ’70s rock and roll are up your alley, I highly recommend this book" @bigtakeover.com writes in its review of grahamparkershowlinwind.net, written with the assistance of @thegrahamparker.bsky.social.#rockandroll

A Tribute To Bob Andrews at the Half Moon, Putney on October 13th was apparently put on sale last night…and sold out last night.

Bob would have laughed as much as I did when I was told the news this morning! πŸ™ πŸ˜€
