McCann’s in Newport made the band an excellent backdrop for our gig tonight. They even added a bottle of Tabac - our manager’s perfume of choice. Saturday night we’re at the Left Bank Village in Hereford - come on down if you’re in town. Wearing Tabac is optional.

3 sold out gigs this week performing the music of Kenny Burrell to the fine folks of Nottinghamshire- the Midnight Blue Quintet was a big hit! From Chitlins Con Carne to Wavy Gravy the audience were gripped - “better than anything I saw in Chicago” my fave quote. Sublime music - here’s the set list

Another practical issue with the pensions / IHT policy - unless HMRC makes it clear to the contrary, pension schemes may have to withhold funeral grants (as they may form part of the estate) until all IHT matters have been settled: citywire.com/new-model-ad...

Sad to hear that Rick Buckler passed away. There was a time in my life when The Jam were everything to me. No band can play lots of musical styles without a solid drummer, so he made it all work. RIP 🥁

Phone now sends me transcriptions of voicemails. Very confused by this one until I listened to it. Turns out ‘sexy literally’ is in fact ‘Specsavers Bletchley’

Catch John Shuttleworth’s latest tour if you can. He was superb in @explorebuxton.bsky.social last night and, unlike a previous Derbyshire performance, Edale Mountain Rescue was not required to save the life of an audience member: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022...
