I’m done with apologizing, I’m guilty. I’ve been lax, lame and utterly absent from here for no other reason than, I’ve been busy. What with writing and finishing the book I had to put it on the back burner, something I can be thankful to from the blogs. It sort of started on here and [...]

Just thought I’d drop in with a little update. Plan is the book gets released on May 15th. The title(today) is Insights from the Engine Room but we have a focus group planned for 30th so things may change. I’ve had some great help from Dave directing me and avoiding me going in places named [...]

Another excerpt from the book if for no other reason than someone asked me. Writing all this stuff up has brought back a flood of memories so I’m reaching out to a bunch of friends to help me remember the half of it. It’s a time I’m desperate not to lose any of them!
Book should [...]

Again I apologize for the gaps and infrequent blogging, it will improve but have an excuse as I’m frantically trying to finish the book, Insights from the engine room..
Here’s a snippet..
In 1980 I was working with U2, I’d been taking them in and out of radio stations prior to the release of their first [...]

I’ve been thinking it might be time to give radio another shot. I did my first show in 1984 and my last in 1996 so that makes 12 years on and now 12 years off, so 2009 could spell a new beginning. We all know how radio has become crap and the only good radio [...]

I’ve been moving furniture around and I’m knackered. I’ve lost half the stuff I put in places to make it easier to find them but I suppose it’s bound to get easier when I eventually do find them. Nevertheless good things happen and Facebook once more re introduces figures from the past and more glorious [...]

I never finished telling you about the Bickershaw festival. That’s the problem I’ll start something, something else will come in to my head and I’ll think ‘must have a rant about that.’ And before you know it’s gone!

Ridiculous, insane! Here I am slumbering in my lounge, lounging in my slumber writing blog number whatever and I’m being savaged by biting insects. For God’s sake it’s January and while the world freezes it’s ass off I’m being bitten! Florida is nice, don’t get me wrong but the insects never get a day off, [...]

Where I worked as a salesman in the 70’s, Transatlantic Records they used to have an incentive at Christmas, a drinks offer….like retailers needed an incentive! Buy music and get drunk. It was very hard to entice them, they were going to buy the stuff anyway so why not tempt them in to buying more [...]

And so endeth another year, put a yuletide blog on the fire and cast your mind back. It’s a time for the mind to wander (any lame excuse will do!), a time for thought and why not. It still feels strange basking in 80 degree heat when half the world is freezing it’s ass off [...]
