Happy New Year … at last In spite of all the promises I stayed away from the computer for the whole of the festive season. There are times when it is important to have a break from the gadgets! Three things preoccupied me over the festive season: Music – I listened to a fantastic range … Read more

All the great bands

July 13, 2009December 19, 2005 by Stuart

There are so many bands around at the moment who are making great music. It feels like being a teenager all over again. The influences are straight from that time for me – Joy Division, Television, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Patti Smith, Talking Heads.
