A very hot and sweaty night at Chinnery’s Southend playing to a sold out crowd.
That’s the stuff dreams are made on

I bought this big beautiful PELI Protector 1690 Transport Case and am gutted that it’s just too big for my needs.
What a thing of joy it is though, amazing piece of kit

Super impressed with my new Nanuk 935 case.
Expensive perhaps, but if you want your gear protected; this is how you do it.

As a lifelong Silver Surfer fan, I was initially not thrilled about the Shalla-Bal version featuring in the new movie.

However, as Norrin Radd remains available as the Earth 616 Surfer; I am hopeful that Marvel’s plan is to reveal him later in a more significant capacity.

My friend Stef is a big fan of real film camera photography. Here’s a pic he took of me onstage somewhere earlier this year - love that grain, no filter required!!

Well, I took the family to see Superman and on the whole everyone enjoyed it including me.
David Corenswet makes a wonderful Superman, and a likeable Clark too.

In short - If I liked about 60% of Man of Steel (most of that being young Clark, and Henry), I liked more like 80% of Superman 2025.

Win!
