    That's Handy Wynne

    Wynne Evans really rattled my cage last year when on air he started mocking fans who were in the queue for the Taylor Swift Eras gig in Cardiff . How can they go into the stadium and listen to an artist going on for 3 hours about her love life . Blah blah . Sure Taylor Swift is not doing...

    Williams Trip Called Off.

    Sky Walker was a great signing and gave it all for The Swans . Bumped into him one night in a Gorseinon boozer , he was with David Penny after a game . Never understood a word he said , his Scottish accent was so strong . Sky was a tidy guy , Penny was really peed off he never got off the...

    Awful Day

    Virginia Plain by Roxy Music shirley . First 33 rpm vinyl disc I ever bought out of my pocket money , Island Records released . That track is embedded in my memory , a game changer to my listening habits . Scratchy vinyl with a dodgy stylus was the way to listen to music .

    Gigs ‘25

    Focus at Pontardawe Arts Centre earlier tonight , what a bunch of talented musicians . No OTT dramatics , back up tracking or clever cover up of mistakes by sound engineers . Prog Rock at its finest although sometimes the solos went on for hours , that is their music . £ 25 to see a classic...

    Gigs ‘25

    10538 Overture on a scratchy 45 rpm vinyl pressing was my first listening to ELO . Wonder if Jeff Lynne would take that into account if I wanted a ticket for next year if asked . Not his call I know . Quick scan of Birmingham seating plan tickets shows prices at starts at £470 + , forget it .

    Sounds like a plan...

    Some years ago got invited to a stag do in Edinburgh . The trip was arranged Scotland v Wales in the Six Nations rugby , we all had tickets too . Atmosphere around Murrayfield was amazing and enjoyed it . Went back to Princes Street post match full of Red shirts then but a local recommended...

    University Challenge

    When I solve a clue on Only Connect I run around holding the FA Cup aloft , what a winner . Mastermind especially the so called celebs shows are a walk in the park in comparison . Bradley Walsh still holds The Chase together as a top presenter for tea time tele viewers . Caught a bit of that...

    Sounds of the 70s Today

    Ouch , my mistake and mess up but still a great track by Judy Collins . Somehow Joni Mitchell came into my thoughts singing it . It is an age issue with the old brain cells losing their way en route . See Martin Fry of ABC is in Gwyn Hall Neath next month doing a PR chat and book selling ...

    Sounds of the 70s Today

    Sounded like JW s voice was at breaking point on his finale , seems even he knew he had to call a halt to his Broadcasting career , gladly his misses sounded on top form , Tiggy . Some good yarns spoken on air by both of them too . Freebird as his Johnnys Juke box last entry is a classic track...

    Working Person

    All of Starmers manifesto pledges are backfiring big time now . Control of the small boats issue , but record numbers now published show the lie . Stealth Taxes and re- wording of their promises on NI payments another lie . Thought the last lot were bad . Labour the Party of the working man...

    Jon Anderson

    The Jam in their pomp through their music could kick butt . Weller in his next career stage I thought went a bit dour and boring sadly . Keep on Running by Spencer Davis Group got me across the Swansea 10k finishing line . Good luck with your efforts in the half too .

    Jon Anderson

    As with Pink Floyd and Yes another musical journey I never got myself , other did . Did have Dark side of the Moon in my collection once , think everybody had that LP once .

    That's Handy Wynne

    Caught a bit of his Radio Wales Show yesterday morning , he really was trying too much to be the calming voice of this incident , quick voice messages of support for the slip up . Then played Mr Blue Sky , ELO , great track of course but me and my partner dancer to this . Charm offensive by...

    Gigs ‘25

    Had a quick look at Billy Joel tickets for Anfield / Murrayfield next year , eye watering prices . Also a check on Hotel availability for both venues locally , Scotland would have been a nice weekend away for a show , hotels starting at £220 per night , two nights sleep over needed . Great...

    Night Sleeper

    Done Nightsleeper through to the end now , still feel it is overlong in parts though . Bit of a twist at the end which I did not see coming . Might re run the series again at some time to see where I missed the clues . Colin from Accounts seems to be BBCs next heavily pushed programme , will...
