Took a somewhat unexpected trip to Bristol today, never a bad thing. So how do you make the most of a trip like that? Buy records of course! I wasn’t on my own so just visited a couple of shops that happened to be on the route we were walking. I was passing Astro Vinyl,…
On this day, the 24th April 1995, Oasis released their first number 1 single, Some Might Say. Straight in at number 1, which was obviously a great result for the band but it put a dilemma in my head! What you ask, well here is the track listing. Some of the comments from reddit about…

A 2 hour drive followed by queuing in light rain, thanks O2 priority for putting their priority queue out in the elements, it wasn’t…
I saw lucky enough too see Gaz Coombes recently on March 14th of this year perform a one man show to a small audience in Southampton. This time there was a band, a five piece band, the same but different!. My image but sadly not my setlist. Gaz Coombes came onstage and had roughly 45…
