I forgot all about this event today. Apart from sounding like a lot of fun it helps get the message across to those policemen who have been interpreting the law a tad overzealously.

Must be time for another trip up to London – the Tate Modern have unveiled the latest in the Unilever series of artworks for the Turbine Hall: How It Is by Miroslaw Balka.

The Liberty of Norton Folgate
October 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Music
Tonight I caught up with the Julien Temple film The Liberty of Norton Folgate that I recorded when it was on BBC Four at the weekend. I already loved the album, a strong contender of album of the year IMHO. I played a couple of tracks on Spotify when it came out and went [...]
Big weekend

It has been a big weekend, with two late nights. On Saturday Jayne and I went to the middle of nowhere for a family wedding and then tonight I took Frankie up to London for some live comedy.
Spizzenergi 30th Anniversary Gig
September 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Music
Went to see Spizzenergi (again) tonight. I’m not keen on going ‘up west’ when I have to work the next day, but it was to mark 30 years since the first Spizzenergi incarnation, and having seen them on tour back then in 1979 I thought it would be good to make the effort.
As always it [...]

Lucky escape for the Trafalgar Square crowds
September 1st, 2009 · 3 Comments · Life
I received the email today that told me I was not picked for the final tranche of people to take their place on the 4th plinth as part of Antony Gormley’s One & Other. While I am a little disappointed, that is far outweighed by relief. I have seen quite a few of the past [...]
Zombies in Trafalgar Square
August 3rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life
This afternoon I made the short journey up to London to go and see Andrew do his thing in Trafalgar Square as part of Anthony Gormley’s One & Other project.
I went for several reasons: to support Andrew, to support a good cause, to get some use out of my cameras, and because… well I have [...]
Thirty years on – Spizzenergi in London
August 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Music
I went online tonight and bought my ticket for the Spizzenergi 30th anniversary gig at the 100 Club. I decided that it wasn’t worth the risk of just turning up because with all the publicity there is a real chance of it selling out.

A plinth among men!
July 30th, 2009 · No Comments · Life
A little while back I mentioned how Andrew from Wongablog was going to be appearing on the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square as part of Antony Gormley’s One & Other project. I was a bit jealous about that, especially as he got allocated a prime slot (4pm on a Sunday) but I’m now hoping that [...]
Not meeting new friends
July 13th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Politics
On Sunday I went up to London for the day. The official reason was to meet up with some other Labour activists, bloggers and general good-eggs but I made sure I got there early so I could do some sight-seeing and visiting of old haunts. I think it is the first time I have been [...]
