New Adventures in Hi-Fi

I’ve often wished after watching a great film or reading a great book that I could wipe my memory and enjoy it with fresh eyes and ears, be surprised once again by the plot twists and shock endings and be left with that warm satisfied feeling all over again. Little did I realise that actuallyContinue reading “New Adventures in Hi-Fi”

Happy New Year and Goodbye To All That

Happy New Year, and welcome to our first blog entry of 2015! By now you should all have recovered from the celebrations which accompany the adding of 1 to the tally of years since the (approximate) birth of Christ. By now you may also be back at work, school, college reflecting miserably on how littleContinue reading “Happy New Year and Goodbye To All That”

Candi’s Dog is for life, not just for Christmas

The big day is almost upon us and some lucky people will wake up to find that Father Christmas has left a Candi’s Dog CD under the tree. Others will sit by a roaring fire and warmly reminisce of the happy times they spent listening to Candi’s Dog in 2014. Either way, we’d like toContinue reading “Candi’s Dog is for life, not just for Christmas”

Matthew’s Mid-Month Moustache Memorandum

Matthew has been at this Movember thing for half a month now and, I must say, he has surpassed my very low expectations of his development.

A Place in the Song: Home or Away?

I had the misfortune to be ill recently; nothing serious, but enough to confine me to the house. As the saying goes the devil makes work for idle hands, and I found my hands had switched on daytime TV and selected A Place in the Sun: Home or Away from the assorted trash on offer.Continue reading “A Place in the Song: Home or Away?”

I love you Ricky!

This week the topic of our blog is love, and there is no greater love than that between a man and his guitar. Ricky was not Stephen’s first bass guitar, he’d learned the ropes on a cheap try-out guitar, but by age fifteen, felt it was time to move on. Week after week he’d trawlContinue reading “I love you Ricky!”

Happiness is a Warm Turntable

During a recent refurbishment of a room in my house I came across my record player, which had been resting unloved with junk in a cupboard. Left alone in the house, with only tidying or decorating to do, I naturally ignored both of these tasks, promptly set up the turntable and spent the afternoon listeningContinue reading “Happiness is a Warm Turntable”
