Brilliant name!

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 6h

Probably Ultravox for me. I saw them in Utrecht in 84 or 85.

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 17h

I see what you did there.

7 albums.

How on earth did you find that? Look at the ticket prices! 60p!

In context, I was at Tech and my disposal income was £2 from helping on a milk round on a Saturday.

I saw them, supporting Roxy Music (at least think it was Roxy) in Paignton Festival Hall (great venue, now a cinema.)

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 2d

That all night festival with Roxy, Pete Sinfield, Camel and many more!

I got to see him once around 73 or 74 at the Empire Pool Wembly. He was long way away, but a great show.

12 of those albums are in my collection.

Contains the only song I know that mentions Newton Abbot.

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 3d

I used to have that album on vinyl when it came out, I got the CD when it was re-released a couple of years ago.

He lived in Dartmouth at one time apparently, unless that's another urban legend.

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 5d

Absolutely, I could have spent much longer in there but the Mrs was getting bored.

We took the Eurostar to #Brussels last week for a short break.

On a trip to #Brussels last week I visited the fascinating Musical Instrument Museum. 4 floors with all sorts of instruments, ancient and modern.

Good morning Andy, we are about to make a second attempt at getting home from London. Yesterday's chaos at Paddington resulted in an unplanned night in London. Fingers crossed.

Glyn Barnes @glynbarnes.bsky.social · 6d

Chaos at Paddington this evening, nothing moving and zero info. Given up and checked into a hotel as the chance of making it home tonight are slim.

Here is a really well worn bass for you, spotted today in the Musical Instrument museum in Brussels, a Mexican Guitarron.

Reading 75, been there, done that. Yes's lazers were sparkling in the rain.
