That's definitely a sad and odd situation to be in. I have 3 step-siblings I've yet to meet, all probably around my age too, but Dad and Stepmum had a very, very low-key wedding a couple of years back and they live in Edinburgh, been together a good 10 years too.

Not sure, but there's every possibility and that name does ring a very vague & distant bell..

Yeah, a great writer and huge fan of The Sundays! I have 2 12" singles by his band, Catwalk, which I really must dig out and play soon.

Seconded. I was an MM completist from the mid 80s till its sudden and downbeat end. Always preferred their writers - particularly Chris Roberts, Ian Watson and Everett True.

That's quite the story - having your own song is really something!

Difficult to pick just one, I've always loved 'Walter' though and 'Defy the Law'

2 gorgeous records arrived today, both by bands formerly on the hallowed Sarah record label. Gorgeous reissue of 1989's 'Lyceum' by The Orchids, with loads of extras & the sublime 'There's More to Life than Crooks' by Lightning in a Twilight Hour (Bobby Wratten - ex Field Mice)

#totp Thin Lizzy and kettle drums! Got to say, this guitar line does sound familiar to one of their big hits.

#totp that was some very full on hair and face fuzz, then again, it is 1979

Heard a new favourite tune courtesy of @amylame.bsky.social on #6music this morning. Great tune by Run Remedy - Xtian Skate Night. Straight onto the bandcamp purchase list.

My FIL won't fly anymore, really hates it. They've taken to the cruiseship life in a big way! Hope it goes as well as it can for you.

Ha! We had a torrential and very stormy morning - drove to Newcastle and it followed us - and came back home to more....
