For some unfathomable reason, the nice people at @groovy-times.bsky.social wanted me to answer some questions. So I did. It's here under the 'Indie-Pop Gems' banner with a nice picture of @theloftuk.bsky.social groovy-times.com/precious-rec...

If you haven't got the Groovy Little Numbers singles, then I strongly suggest you try to dig them out. Here's a pic of Big @joemcalinden.bsky.social back then ...my head has already exploded this week, but this makes me happy like yesterday

My first band was called The Groovy Little Numbers. Here is a very rare live pic, me probably singing You Make My Head Explode (we only had about 3 songs at the time - one being a cover of Astrud Gilberto’s version of Windy). We released a couple of records on 53rd & 3rd and that was that ✊🏻

Last week started well and carried on even better ... @petepaphides.bsky.social kindly shared his 'Sensitive'-based Soho Radio show with @precrecs.bsky.social ... let's call it a soundclash ... have a listen here. The songs are great even if I'm talking nonsense sohoradiolondon.com/show/pete-pa...

Never coming down. I could spend the rest of my ridiculous life thanking these beautiful people for running with my absurd pipe dream and it still wouldn’t be enough.

This was magical. My head exploded. At least three times. Thanks to @petepaphides.bsky.social and everybody else involved. A truly beautiful night.

'Jangling guitars, harmonies, urgent vocals and a rhythm section that is locked into a hip-swiveling groove' .. that's what @welshjb.bsky.social @intocreative.bsky.social has to say about The Chesterfields in session! intocreative.co.uk/into-music-m...

Now here’s something you don’t do every day … tea and cakes with half of @theloftuk.bsky.social and @wiaiwya.bsky.social at Mario’s Cafe in Kentish Town. Couple of songs from the new LP and the world’s greatest B-side (‘Got A Job’) as we all held up our phones to film some vids. Jolly lovely.

Catching up with the @precrecs.bsky.social + @wiaiwya.bsky.social zine in between #1 ahead of issue 2… pleased to say I’ve done what thousands of other listeners have so far failed to do, that is, discover Saloon.
