Sorry, Manchester Quatermassive, we promised a live gig this year, but struggling to find a venue to park our interplanetary craft.

Yep, I’m definitely feeling a bit regretful for not making it.
Nice lineup. I missed Robert in London this weekend but gave my ticket to a friend who told me he was fantastic & the band were excellent 👍
Book 19: Randomly picked this up from the library as i was looking for holiday books and really glad i did. Dystopian novel about a woman trapped alone behind a transparent wall beyond which there appears to be no life. She writes her story with no idea if anyone will read her words #chopsbooks

It has been pointed out to me that Ship’s Piano isn’t on Spotify. To rectify this slightly I’ve made the album completely free on Bandcamp.

I’ve also made the vinyl TEN POUNDS on www.hefnet.com (plus a little postage)

Ship’s Piano gig on 21st October
Walked to New Stompond Lane for the Walton & Hersham game today. They scored a neat team goal early on but then were up against it for the rest of the game. Hung on and stay top of the league #chopsfooty

'Let’s be honest for at least a sentence. The first single ‘Lover’ couldn’t be any more dogshit if it had been squeezed from the lampshade-wide and bright crimson sphincter of Clifford himself.'

Richard Ashcroft - Lovin’ You album cover. Ashcroft holds up his guitar during sunset at the beach, but the revellers would rather walk into the ocean than listen to his nonsense.
Guitarist broke multiple strings last night, down to two by the last song!
