Just for Molly (BallerinaGurl)

A few more pics of Sam, just for Molly. Sam is her cabana boy.

A Lovely View

As many Bloggers are posting nice views, I thought I would join in by posting this one taken on Sunday of the view from Richmond Hill. This is probably the best view in London. The photo looks better enlarged. About fifty yards from where the photo was taken live a very famous couple. She is an excellent singer songwriter and Blogger. He is a singer songwriter rock superstar. My ears are still ringing from The Vibrants gig on Saturday.

A Vibrant Weekend

Well, what can I say about The Vibrants at The Halfmoon on Saturday night. F***ing brilliant springs to mind. They are one excellent band. Full of energy and fascinating to watch. You must see them. I could go on and on but they are just so good. For me Sam stole the show (not just because I met him after their set) his guitar playing is second to none. He has a lot of attitude on stage and plays his guitar aggressively as well as singing backing vocals. Must not forget to mention the singer (don't know his name) who is also very good and works hard. Add the other three members of the band and you have one tight group. We stayed at The Richmond Hill Hotel for the night which just happens to be right opposite PTs and RFs house. Took a really nice photo of the house which I may post later in the week. Anyway, my ears are still ringing from the gig as we stood at the front. Don't forget to see The Vibrants!!!! www.thevibrants.com

The bottom photo is of Sam and myself after the gig. Sam is on the left. Thanks to Sam for taking the time to chat and for his patience with the photo. He knows what I mean. I must remember to keep my head down when having my photo taken. I've more chins than China.

Sore Fingers

I've been practising two chords C and G. Have not quite got it right but it's coming on slowly. Still get the odd string not sounding completely clear. I'll get there in the end. My fingers are sore but it will be worth it. A message to a former Blogger, my door is open, is yours?

My Guitar

I bought a guitar last Saturday with an effects box and practice amp. I just need to learn how to play it now. I have tried a couple of times during my life, so this is my final attempt. Gary asked me to post a photo, so here it is.

In The Attic

The last episode in the current series of In The Attic tomorrow. I've really enjoyed all of them and it has been very entertaining. So thanks to Rachel, Mikey, Pete and Simon plus all the guests for giving me so much enjoyment.

The Weekend So Far

The weekend so far has been excellent. Went to see Zero Stars on Friday evening. It was only their second gig but they were very good. Will see them again when they next gig. The photo of them was taken on my mobile phone, so once again not very good quality. The other photo is of two boys busking in Brighton. They were playing The Kinks number 'Sunny Afternoon'. The guitarist wants to get enough money to buy an amp. He is only nine. A star in the making! Highlight of the weekend was a chat with Molly (BallerinaGurl) on the phone. What a lovely lady!!! You rock Molly!!

In The Attic

On tonights In The Attic, Rachel mentioned that she would have a Blogger on the show next week to be interviewed. Well, I've put my name forward and fingers crossed. Tonights show was great, as usual, Mikey, Simon, Pete and Rachel. Marvellous!! Chatted with the lovely crowd in Mollys (BallerinaGurl) chat room. Last ITA next week, apart from the Christmas special. The weeks will not be the same.

A Feeling

I feel like someone from my past has stopped watching me. Nothing specific, just this feeling of not being watched. Anyway, apart from that nothing much to report. Busy at work with interviews to do tomorrow. I need two additional staff and have to interview nine people to get the two. Been out to see friends tonight so not much time to look around Blogland. Sorry Bloggers.

Disgrace

He calls for you, You call for me,
You cried 'cos you wanted to see me,
And it's OK for a short while,
We're all happy, we all smile,
Then a change of heart takes place,
Disgrace.

A Busy Weekend

Well that was a busy weekend. Saw The Calm Friday evening, Angst Saturday and today, just as I drove into our local shopping mall, got a call asking if I wanted to see Zero Stars rehearsing for their gig next Friday. So off I went to see them. They play rebel rock and are very good, although the rehearsal room was very boomy. Will see them when they play Friday. The venue for Angst was not ideal. Lots of bikers from around Kent and it made very interesting people watching. My lights etc. were well received and we arrived back at 0200 this morning, so I am a little tired. Jill has just got back from a weekend in Somerset visiting her son and Daisy, her Grandaughter, who had her second birthday on Saturday. The bikers get touchy about cameras in their clubhouse so I sneaked this photo of Angst on my mobile phone, hence the poor quality.

The Weekend Again!!!

How much quicker can the weeks flash by? Saw The Calm again last night. First half was mediocre but they came alive after a break. Took lots of photos, but wanted to capture the atmosphere so did not use flash. The result is lots of fuzzy photos. Posted the best one of the bunch. That's the problem with digital, it seems to take so long for the camera to process the info. Off with Angst tonight to a bikers do in Folkstone. Providing the lights, smoke, laser and strobe (for free) may get asked to sing which will be good.

Fireworks

The only fireworks we saw were what The Tar Babies produced. They play sixties songs such as Kinks, Small Faces, Beatles etc.. They were the best I've seen them tonight. Anyway, here is there website address which is very sixties and psychedelic looking. www.tarbabies.co.uk Next weekend is already looking very rocking with two nights of bands to see. When is Mikey going to do another live gig I wonder?

My Little Roller Skate

Here is my new car. Compared to my other one it is like a Roller Skate but I am getting used to it. It is a Nissan Micra 160SR. There are not too many of this model on the road at the moment as it is a recently introduced model. Nissan are limiting the edition to 1600. Let me know what you think.

My Car

For all of you that are waiting for a photo of my new car, I will post one tomorrow (Saturday).
