Supporting #OwnOurVenues to save and protect grassroots music venues across the UK has been one of the most rewarding things I've done recently. If you love live music, please have a look at the latest campaign and get involved if you can.

Community investment attracts partners, such as Figurative, Arts Council England, and the UK Government. In our first round, community shares unlocked significant additional funding and bought five venues.

Did you know that if you're under 25 you can become a part owner of venues for only £50?

This is to help as many passionate young people be a part of this - and ensure that the next generation are those with a steak in the future of live music: www.ownourvenues.com

13 - "Mad world" by Tears For Fears

"Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me..."

As someone who had moved between four schools from '77 to '80 these lines definitely struck a chord.

If you have the single of "Chance", do flip it over. The live rendition of "Tracks Of My Tears" on the b-side is BRILLIANT. I suspect that's had at least as many plays as the a-side in my house. Perhaps more.

Chance - Big Country.

I saw Big Country at the Wembley Stadium Summer of '84 concert (subbing for an ill Paul Young) and later in Newport Centre. At Wembley the PA broke. Stuart led a huge singalong of this until it returned, magical. RIP.

The one person who impressed me in this regard (strings breaking mid-solo and he just effortlessly worked around it, still sounding great), was Francis Rossi of Status Quo! Hammersmith Odeon, 1984; a very long time ago but edged in my memory. As a guitar player, my jaw was very much on the floor!
