I spent a few hours of today bimbling around #chorley town centre, while awaiting an urgent brake calliper and pads replacement. Not a cheap day. Still, the garage got it done at short notice. Here’s some nice peeling paint I found on my circuit

Thought Bubble - A Made Up World — Lazland

A bit late, but a review of the Thought Bubble EP we released before Zmas has just appeared. It’s actually turned out to be a particularly pleasant surprise! lazland.org/album-review...

Fifty years ago today, my musical adventures started, in #birminghamtownhall #marcbolanandtrex hit the stage with an adrenaline (or something) fuelled version of #20thcenturyboy I was utterly blown away and never came back #livemusic #glamrock

Raw, live music by local band Crystal Ball, Prague based Ginger Wizard and Leeds’ Self Immolation. Proper in-yer-face stuff. Surprisingly, there was a clear progrock aptitude to the headliners, albeit with grunge attitude. Hats off to One Hand Clapping for making this marvellous kinda thing happen

It’s looking like the lineup may have evolved a tad since that poster was slapped up around town.

This metre square painting is still very much a work in progress. Despite using heavy body acrylic paint, the white is needing multiple coats, but with very straight edges. It’s proving exhausting.

Taking advantage of a break in the rains, I scrambled up some steep paths and rocks, above Batch Valley, eventually winding up on Church Stretton golf course.

Like many sheds, mine does have a collection of painted skulls, several showroom mannequins, a drum kit and about a hundred canvases

In the South wing of the shed, today. There’s a very slow moving abstract piece that’s demanding a steady hand

Wolverhampton today. Good friends. Good conversation, a comedy show: Clementine at the Arena (a solo tour de force by Rosalie Minnit), top nosh at Dosa Hut and a gallery full of awesome art

I’ll be bongo bothering for Darmus again on April 25th, at Foxlowe Arts Centre, Leek. This time we’re opening the evening with the stellar Helicon and the positively lovely Crystal Teardrop.

Well, this really works for me - and indeed brings back memories of CSE English, 1974.

Beautifully shot, acted, edited and scored. A+

Yes. Art is something one DOES. Not watch a machine do. End of.

As a shed dweller, this story and indeed this profile’s whole shedcentric theme is rather intriguing.

His father’s room in the retirement home is also a shed, sort of, imo
