Keeping busy 2

I've been busy making videos of some of my old songs. You can find them on my You Tube channel. 

Mark Bryan, the drummer from Conspiracy, a band that we set up together back in 1977 recently found a couple of audio clips of our band. 

They were recorded on a ghetto blaster back in 1981. 

 I made up this video using some of the photos of the version of the group that were playing that night.

Keeping busy during lockdown 1

Just over a year ago I decided to put myself into quarantine in order to avoid getting the cough that has plagued me every winter for the last fifteen years. 

The winter of 2018/2019 was particularly bad. I coughed non-stop for six months and I didn't want it to happen again. 

I've been wanting to do a one-man show for the last few years but each year th cough put paid to it. This year was going to be different. I booked the 40 seat Bonkers Playhouse in Kettering and started advertising. Proceeds were to go towards the local hospice. 

All was going well. The show timed at just shy of two hours plus interval. Then the lockdown began- three days before the show was to take place. 

So what did I do when the regular pubs, open mikes and other musical events all closed? T

hat's what this blog is going to be all about.
