    Bars of Soap

    My old place used to supply us with swarfega hand wash and Lifeboy blocks of soap as a basic . Carbolic soap , whatever that means but the smell will live with me forever . Forget Dove and new genaration hand cleansers to make your hands soft , tele ads thrive on it . My hands and skin...

    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...

    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 .
