The Diamond – Sutton in Ashfield (near Mansfield) 20/04/2012
A great live music venue that has played host to many names in the music business over the years. It was lovely to have a nice welcome back from the venue staff when we arrived there late afternoon. This was the first show in at least three years to include an acoustic version of…

Bits and pieces
I am still reading the incredible book by Kevin Cann “The London Years”. This for me is the most informative book I have ever read on David Bowie and I have read many including some really good ones. Guess I must be a slow reader but there is so much detailed information in it.…

Stamford Corn Exchange 9/9/11
This is the shortest trip we have had to take to a theatre show, as it’s only a 15 minute drive, so we felt really refreshed whilst going through the sound checks in the late afternoon. Stamford is a lovely, romantic old town that has never been spoilt by modern day architecture and the old…
