I’ve been wondering what to say about Mother’s Day. Like anyone who no longer has their mum it is a day of mixed emotions with happy memories with a helping of sadness thrown in. Neither Mum or Dad were ones for having a fuss made of these kind of occasions, so if I am honest
We’ve enjoyed an amazing few days of warm Spring weather, and today was as good as any so far this year. I won’t lie I’ve felt pretty tired all day. In part, no doubt, down to my first gig for a couple of years last night. But the smile is still there after such a
The last live music I saw was The Alarm in Llandudno just over two years ago just before the pandemic struck. It has been an extremely long wait, but finally last night I saw The Alarm (it had to be them really) this time at The Electric Ballroom in London. I hadn’t been on a
