The sound of pure joy. This is my second blog concerning albums that have & continue to inspire me. In October 1984 my brother and I went to the Birmingham NEC to see U2. They were supported by The Waterboys, a band …

A lesson in how to write songs. This series of blogs will contain music that has inspired me and continues to do so. I’m not claiming they are the greatest albums ever, although many would be amongst my personal favourites,…

A new series of occasional blogs where I write about albums that have (& continue to) inspire me.

At the interval - it's been fabulous so far! If I can sing like Bob Catley when I'm 78 I'll be happy!

This beer is over 13 years old & is stunning. The first time I drank Courage Imperial Stout was a 25 year old version in the Kulminator bar in Antwerp. That was 1 of the best beers I ever drank. I had the same vintage 18 months later and it was gone. This 13 year old is great.
