Life's about experiences. These are mine.
For those that are still willing to listen I will happily tell them that my all time favorite album is Strange Kind of Love by Love & Money. I first saw them while at Uni in about 1986 and then not again until they reformed in 2011. However, over the years I have continued to buy what …
I know that the title sounds like it should be about the next Apple operating System release but they are actually a band from Glasgow (there is definitely in why so much music comes from North of the border but that’s for another time).

So I thought I would do a list of my top five albums. These are the albums that I would happily sit through and listen to time and time again without skipping any track and, more than likely, I would sing raucously along to! 1. Strange Kind of Love – Love & Money 2. Selling …
Dodgy have reformed and that is good enough for me to venture out on a Wednesday night in January to see them play live in, of all places, the Arlington Arts Centre, just outside of Newbury. This seemed like an odd venue given that it is the arts block of the Mary Hare school for …
