    Just found out that Eric Carmen, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of Power Pop pioneers, Raspberries, passed away a few days ago.
    He also has a massive solo hit with All By Myself and also the Chick Flick classic Hungry Eyes...



    R.I.P. Eric...<rose>

    40 years ago this month the Miner's Strike began and went on for 12 rancorous and historic months, here are some songs about it...

    I'm absolutely knocked out by Catrin Vincent's mesmerising vocals on Another Sky's new album, Beach Day.
    This is melancholic and beautiful...

    40 years ago, three albums were released by artists all from the same city, Minneapolis, and they remain some of my favourites ever...

    Firstly the imperious Purple Rain from Prince...

    Been offered a ticket to see John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett at the Merlin in Frome this evening, should be fun.

    And before anyone asks, yeah, baby, it’s really free.

    In light of the exciting recent news about a project to make individual films about the 4 members of the Beatles to be directed by Sir Sam Mendes...
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68350477...
    I thought I would post this documentary about the groundbreaking and probably the greatest film about a Rock and Roll band, which was in production 60 years ago this month...
