Jazz LPs (not vinyls) and occasionally CDs. Armchair cricket and football supporter(Royals!). Art for art's sake. English Civil Wars and radical history, and elephants

Lovely pile. I have recently rediscovered the joys of Radio Tarifa, that one I don't know though

Don't buy from Bezos. Pay more elsewhere if needs be, that price is not sustainable for a broad publishing environment - it is indeed a "mad bargain".

Absolutely, and Warren Smith on vibes and percussion. Real Jazz chops, no instructions from Van so they just played. So the story goes.

That's Chris Abrahams from the Necks isn't it. And yet again, your local Oxfam, how come? Very envious

But the added jeopardy of the "will it collapse under me" is surely all part of the improvisational fun

Good! 75 minutes queuing shows great dedication. I've only ever managed an hour. The increasing need to queue for longer is becoming a drag at Oto I feel. Victims of their own success

Hope you're first in the queue at this time

I really enjoyed three of them, including the Ravillious and would most definitely like to read the other two. Lovely pile.

Is that a catalogue for the CAC show or one of their two page posh leaflets (which I love)?

Yes and yes, I saw both of those shows too and thoroughly enjoyed them both. I didn't get to see him at CAC though. I did see him at the Roundhouse twice, once headlining and a second time supporting Laurie Anderson, what a voice and what a messenger.

Your local shops never fail to amaze me. I may need to move south of the river...
If you get a chance to see Holley perform, go. If you get a chance to see his art works, go too. Maybe you have alreafy

Very much looking forward to hearing him live in a couple of weeks
