Bump start to oblivion Over the last year or so I’ve started writing about half a dozen blog posts, abandoned them …revised them …abandoned them again …wondered what the hell I was on about, and generally banged my confused mind against the inside of my cranium in a vain attempt to communicate, what I eventually…
The morning after the month before yesterday Travelling by road through the Norfolk Broads in the claustrophobia of the dank dark night might not present the best vista of its stunning natural beauty, however if like us you were lucky enough to find your way to a little pub in Horsey the first Friday…

Elementary my dear bleeding hearts For the obligatory, commercially, media over-hyped Valentine’s evening, we were the very ‘anti-hype’ guests of Doug Brown for another of his ‘On The Menu’ sessions at ‘The Murderers’ in the centre of Norwich just around the corner from the Castle. Otherwise known as The Gardener’s Arms, it’s one of…
Transcending the pains of daylight and dubious lucidity We’ve said before that you never truly know what’s going on in your band until you get into the recording studio… or in our case… until you get the recording studio into the band…!

Past tense still accurate despite author’s glaring misinformation… a humble de-confusing apology First off… I just had the ‘shock of the day’ by finding out that Angela Lansbury is still alive… and a Dame, to boot…!
