Yet more cassette tapes. Yet more musical memories...from 1975 & 76. Recordings of improv/spontaneous jazz performances I was part of in Hull back then. Venues: Hull Arts Centre (now Hull Truck Theatre) & the Hull Regional College Of Art (Queens Gardens site). It's an acquired taste!

6 years ago (right) & today (left). Nothing much changes...apart from my age.

9 years ago, I drew this Fig Roll-eating robot with a wax crayon (whilst having a cuppa in a Hull cafe). I have no idea why, but I like to think that my art college skills were not wasted.
Thank you.

Having attended the Day Surgery Unit at Castle Hill Hospital (Cottingham) yesterday, I have only praise & admiration for all the staff there. Doctors, nurses, aneasthetists, admin - everyone was cheery, helpful & very pleasant. The operation went smoothly. I can't fault anything. I'm at home recovering (well). No GGB gigs until the middle of July.
All hospital staff should have a fair wage...They deserve every penny of it. #supportthenhs #NHS #hospital #support #fairwage

Today's performance at Spring Fest 2023 was slightly more chaotic than usual(!), due to 'technical difficulties' (batteries went flat). But thanks to duo Steamtown, they saved the day with a PSU - power was returned! Many thanks to them, & everyone who came along to watch, listen & join in.

This just arrived from outer space (via the postman) - the new HENGE album, 'Alpha Test 4'. It's even signed by the four beings from another world.

The first time I heard Tina Turner sing, was the song, 'River Deep, Mountain High', on a transistor radio. An amazing song. An amazing woman. An amazing voice ❤
