This is one of my favourite songs (I'm an old fashioned girl) and I adore Michael Stipe. Not too sure about Natalie Merchant or her strange dress (miaw), but always loving Michael


Lovely Michael Stipe To Sir with Love


Did I just do that right I wonder?

Still on "To Sir With Love", I'm not really a Tina Arena fan - but my partner's appreciation of her brought this song to my attention. The song's a corker!


I heard it done fabulously by Lulu at the Palladium for a Don Black (the lyricist) celebration recently. Anyway (best ignore the visuals and concentrate on the music), for what it's worth, Arena's version (with heavy Savage Garden influences I think):

I was forced to sing "Darlin" by Frankie Miller (though I think the Johnny Reid version is best) whilst doing the cleaning with my mammy when I was young ..My young son sings it now also which always brings a tear to my eye and will stay with me forever!

Blimey, never seen this clip before now. The Faces at the Marquee Club in 1970. Gorgeous song, great band, lovely understated soulful performance, obviously enjoying themselves and have had a few as was their want. Wonderful.


Devotion - The Faces

Mr M - You had the luck of the Irish with the weather for the end of the road! I really pity the poor folk at Bestival last weekend.


Have you been to Union Chapel before? It's such a fabulous venue run by really nice people. In previous years it's where Jo Wiley has held her Little Noise acoustic sessions and she's a woman with an enviable address book at her disposal. I hope she does some more this year; I'll post if she does.


Are there any headbangers from the forum going to the Metallica gig tonight?

    • Should be NICEIC or NAPIT registered  and also NOT registered for VAT
    • Lots of good points there mal but wasn’t it the same electorate who are now so angry that kept voting them back in?   for me 2015 was the pivotal moment. Pre Corbyn, but after 5 years of austerity, Cameron should never have been allowed back in 
    • If you’re looking for a curly hair specialist I can highly recommend Kinson near Clock House station (or ten mins walk from Kent House). 
    • The unnecessary austerity under the coalition, hammering public services, and then subsequent Tory governments not investing when interest rates were rock bottom screwed the country.  These were before COVID and Ukraine which the Tories used as an excuse.  There is no good reason to vote Reform; they have a platform of returning Britain to something it never was. The left of Labour parties, IE Greens and LDs are the only sensible alternative.   This is not letting Labour off the hook; worryingly they already seem to be veering to the right.
