Prague, May 2010

A short weekend break to Prague.

The Who at The Royal Albert Hall

A few piccies from this very ‘last minute’ gig which I attended thanks to Ryan and Tracey, jammily managing to bag tickets from the box office the day before the gig! They played Quadrophenia from start to finish – incredible gig. Seats were, as you can see from the photos, a bit odd! Very close [...]

Poor Old Frodo

My dog, Frodo, passed away early this morning. Farewell old chum.

Visting Sacrewell Farm, near Peterborough

Well, I had promised to take Aimee to the swimming baths this weekend, but Hollee thought it’d be a better idea to have a day out at a local country farm. Which would probably have been true – as Aimee loves seeing farm animals – but, to be completely blunt, Sacrewell Farm appears to be [...]

Snow in Twyford

Aimee bashes out a Christmas classic! If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it’s missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe.

Bad Lieutenant @ Heaven, London

A couple of photos from the latest New Order off-shoot, Bad Lieutenant’s gig at Heaven nightclub in Charing Cross. Great night – the encore of Joy Division, New Order and Electronic classics was superb!

Arctic Monkeys & Them Crooked Vultures @ Brixton Academy

Just a few piccies from a gig I went to a month or two ago. These photos convinced me that it was time for a new camera.

If I Could Just Get Five Minutes…

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” John Lennon, ‘Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)’, Double Fantasy, 1980. Phew! This has got to be the most protracted house move in history! I’ve been in the flat since the 21st of July, yet most of my furniture is still in Sheffield. Most of [...]
