I've just listened to the 17/8/69 Top Gear. And there it was - my favourite John Peel intro to Soft Machine's Fire Engines Passing with Bells Clanging, '...a name where a name is necessary.' I've used that quote in the last 55 years so many times it was great to hear it's origin again.

I made a copy of the original to trade sometime in the late 80s. Eventually it found its way here.

Yes, that’s my feeling too. You have to take my word for this. The bootleg of the 22/6 show in Mcr was recorded by me.

Clearly remember this show for the Pink Floyd session with segments from Man/Jouney suites they were touring with. I’d seen them 14/4/69 at Royal Festival Hall and was about to see them again on 22/6/69 at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester. The latter gig remains the best I ever went to.

Was that where the seeds of Greg Lake joining Keith Emerson were sown?

Without a doubt the most balanced biography of Syd I’ve ever read.

My stoma was repositioned following emergency surgery. It’s now exactly where the waistband of my trousers sits. I’ve bought some trousers that are much to big and wear braces. I also use these as additional security.

That whole sequence on side two should always be heard as a suite of songs not individually.

This picture was taken in May 1979. I’m in the front row with bears. On my right is one of my heroes, Johnny Wallace, on my left is a great friend, Andy Page. I got 47 that day and paid the ‘Jug Avoidance’ fine.

It’s my favourite game as both anthems are rousing.

Such a nostalgia trip. So often I hear a Peel intro and think, ‘I remember him saying that.’ My fav intro, ‘Here’s Soft Machine and Fire Engine Passing With Bells Clanging. It’s a name where a name is necessary.’

Did you take in the Proust? There are some books/authors that I simply can’t take in. TE Lawrence’s 7 Pillars & The Silmarillion being two examples.

This was the match that Boycott was on the field for every ball.

How is franchising beneficial to English cricket? Explain to me again. No blame whatsoever attached to James Vince. The day a franchise establishes a youth policy and pathway programme I’ll believe it. Until then I regard them as leeches.

Ivor Cutler came to the school I worked at to do a small show and then he worked with the students. He was just as beautifully bonkers as his image and the students loved him.

I’ve only ever used a hairdryer to dry the bag after a shower.

It’s an odd shaped ground. Quite long and thin. Square boundaries are fairly small so much so that I hit a rare six over square leg. 😂
