Just had an enjoyable hour or so in the company of Stuart Maconie at his talk in Liddypool to launch his fab and gear new Beatles book. Had a nice little chat afterwards and commended the lad for playing Hawkwind on his Freak Zone show. More, I say!

Sad news about Brian Wilson, by the way. Best backing singer Status Quo Lite ever had.
Oh, and a musical genius. RIP Brian.
Crikey, it's months since I was last on here. Have I missed much?

Released on this day 50 years ago: the sensational 'Down Down', the only number one single the Mighty Quo ever had. The full-length album version is even better. Get down!

Latest vinyl arrival.
It's always a party with MWC.
The bells of Birkenhead Town Hall have been ringing every quarter of an hour for the last 135 years. Until today.
The council have received ONE complaint (the first in 135 years) from a new resident as a result the bells now only chime hourly.
I like hearing the bells. Bring 'em back, I say!
Had a little wander around Flaybrick Memorial Gardens with the pooch. I love the beastie in the first pic.
