/Welcome to the Future/165/Livestreams and new releases 05-Mar 2021
Bandcamp day again already, and yet again, there’s another big list of releases. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down […]
/Welcome to the Future/153/Livestreams and new release round-up/27-Nov 2020
Nearly out of another lockdown – and back into Tiers – and this weekly release and events roundup keeps on going. There is still new music to enjoy, hence why […]
/Welcome to the Future/141/Livestreams and new release round-up/04-Sep 2020
We keep going amid the lockdown. There are new releases, and still, new music coming through, and buying music right now is the only way we can help. The events […]
/Tuesday Ten/375/An Eye Is Upon You
This has been an unusual one, that I’ve tried to write a few times and shelved. Sometimes you have inspiration, sometimes…you don’t. So I left it for a few months, […]
/Tuesday Ten/347/Ready to Start

Tuesday Ten: 135: A Night On The Town
I got wind over the weekend that the bar that I ran tcf in for five years is closing – initially it sounded like it was for good, but instead it’s apparently […]
/Tuesday Ten/122/Dumped
Ok, so I did Bad Romance last year, but here’s another list for Valentines Day – this time dealing with being dumped. It’s been a good many years since it […]
/Tuesday Ten/111/Betrayal
This week, I’m looking at being betrayed. It’s all thanks to one of these songs coming up on my iPod the other day and getting my mind thinking. It wasn’t […]

Part eight, and we’re nearly there.
/Tuesday Ten/070/The Sound of Summer?
Driving down to Cambridge on a warm summer’s day last Sunday got Daisy and I thinking about songs that we associate with the summer. Certainly, there are some songs that […]
