HE’S (NOT) MISSED A SURE SHOT

HE’S (NOT) MISSED A SURE SHOT

January 25, 2023January 25, 2023 8 Comments

22nd January 2023. Last night (24th) I saw cycling based indie noise merchants The Delgados at Sheffield Leadmill. It was one of the great gigs, I guess, and I say that as someone who detests the idea of bands reuniting to play stuff written 25 years ago. If Oasis or The Smiths reformed in my… Continue reading HE’S (NOT) MISSED A SURE SHOT

Only another 137 posts (conservative estimate) and I’ll have caught up with the blog at last. More importantly, only another ten and you’ll know about the alpaca farm. 22 September 2022.

Tomorrow the pubs open their doors so that us bloggers will have something more to blog about than complaints about wine gardens and ordering by apps. I can’t wait, and I’d better make a decision about where I’ll be tomorrow. Go on, guess. Some will complain about table service and social distancing remaining in pubs,… Continue reading TO MANCHESTER !

BULLS HEAD – BULLSEYE

March 10, 2019March 11, 2019 33 Comments

It can never be said too often; Manchester is a great night out.  Particularly when it starts in a £25 budget hotel in the “dodgy part of Eccles” (Source: Quosh) and includes a home win against the Hammers (sorry Mr Protz). It must have been a glorious evening.  Even the bit of Salford near Old… Continue reading BULLS HEAD – BULLSEYE
