Linda Ronstadt’s 1974 album ‘Heart Like a Wheel’ was the breakthrough album that catapulted her to superstardom & solidified her reputation as one of the finest vocalists of her generation. Or ever. Blending country, rock, pop, & folk, the album reflects Linda’s deep musical roots & eclectic taste.

Carly Simon’s 1972 album ‘No Secrets’ marked a pivotal moment in her career, cementing her status as one of the defining voices of the singer-songwriter era. The album’s lead single, “You’re So Vain,” became a phenomenon for its infectious melody & biting lyrics & the mystery around who it’s about.

Carole King’s ‘Tapestry’, released in 1971, is a landmark album that redefined the role of the singer-songwriter. Already an accomplished writer behind hits for other artists, Carole stepped into the spotlight with a deeply personal and emotionally resonant collection of songs.

Joni Mitchell’s ‘Ladies of the Canyon’ is an album that blends folk, jazz and pop in a deeply personal way. Released in 1970, it captures the spirit of the Laurel Canyon music scene while pushing the boundaries of the singer-songwriter genre. Her voice is intimate and ethereal.

Soon to be playing on the Sanyo Music Centre, my Holy Tetralogy of life affirming records.

Extremely enjoyable night at The Atkinson, Southport, with John Power talking about his life, The La’s and Cast. Linking his stories to his songs, he really seems to be in a good place. Massive year for Cast as they are supporting Oasis on their “live ‘25” tour and have a new album in the can.

Rest in peace Stu, Kev, Chris and Philip, 4 of the 97. #Hillsborough #JFT97 #YNWA #HillsboroughLawNow

Continuing the crisp theme, here’s Burt’s Reaper Chilli and lime flavour. @thelatechallenge.bsky.social

Absolutely! Top tier without a doubt. 👍🏾

Is this a whole new level of crisp @thelatechallenge.bsky.social ?

@thelatechallenge.bsky.social I think you mentioned them @robbohuyton.bsky.social , but Fiddler’s Lancashire crisps, made not 15 miles from where I am in (not Tory) Birkdale, are top tier.

Rest in peace Marianne Faithfull.

Here’s my effort toward keeping Wham! Last Christmas at No 1 for Christmas Day. Five different copies of the 40th anniversary re-issue. 🙂

Completed my 1,000th Wordle but not consecutively. Annoyingly, I forgot to do it on 23rd October and last Saturday. Ah well!

Thank you. ❤️

LFC legend. ❤️

This is just an excuse not to give you a pay rise, no matter how hard you’ve worked personally or how well your company has done. Let’s see how the MD and the board apply this to their own pay.

Little did I know it was the start of a 40 year “career”. Those were the days though; hand written memo’s, carbon paper, smoking in the office (not me), a bottle of Bells in your pedestal and Friday afternoons in the pub.

On this day in 1982 Beat Surrender by The Jam was the No 1 single, The John Lennon Collection the No 1 album (I bought both, the latter on cassette for my Sony Walkman) & I joined the Home Office in London.
