Haven't been to Napton for years. Rarely went when I lived in Southam. I still go back for work every now and then. Will be there Tuesday.

Always difficult as the nostalgia really gets to me.

The Kane Gang Gun Law

The Kane Gang Gun Law

On my evening walk through St Nicks in Warwick. There's some event on or other. Big stage. Probably some modern nonsense.

Anyway, this guy stopped me. Said he was from Sunderland and he liked my T.

Made my day

I was a nice lad, I wouldn't have done anything like that!

There is, Andrew. I only bought the normal single myself. Brilliant little tune.

I am, Andrew. Hope you are too.

Must apologise for lack of posts and interactions.

Must do better!

Two of my favourite ever records here.

In particular, Jackie Moore is spectacularly good.

Seek it out, you won't regret it.

Yeah, he moved to St Mary's Road.

There are a set of albums called The Sound Of Leamington Spa, which are worth seeking out.

Released when people started noticing just how many records were recorded at Woodbine.

Thanks, John. I messed up, though, and uploaded the wrong version, but it was too late to change it. Vocoder is a good tool every now and then.

I just went for black. Mine arrived from Norman. It's ace.

Didn't bother with the CD, but now I know about the extra tracks I'll have to get that too.

Love those b-sides, especially Scare Some Life Into Me.
