And so, into the void, into the vacuum.....the old victrola coughs into life one more, and probably one last time. Look up and I'll be your brightest star....

Just two more musical outings to go before I can put my dismal collection of wassails and woeful festive fayre back in the padlocked box where they belong and we can start playing real music again. Bah humbug.

It's Made-Up Monday! Two young musicians have contacted me and asked if they can cover one of my songs, I am absolutely bowled over! This has never happened before, ever. I very rarely play any of my own music publicly, anyway, so this is a double delight! Totally humbled.

Sunday afternoon wind-down. Amazing collaboration between jazz ensemble (including Brubeck's four sons) and orchestra, recorded live at the Barbican as part of Dave's 80th birthday celebrations, still at the top of his game. Joyous and uplifting.

Ciaran is due to hit here at around 8:30. I am, therefore, turning my home into a sanctuary of calm and tranquillity to keep it at bay.

Winding down on the old Victrola, the sublime Janice Burns and Jon Doran. One of the finest folk albums I have heard this year.
