Janauary - 2nd time you've been...etc

Why is it that, despite the Winter solstice or whatever it's called, has passed, it seems the mornings and evenings in January get ever more gloomy ? Shouldn't there be some semblance of earlier mornings/lengthier evenings ? It defies all logic in my book.

Went to Wath (pronounced "Woth") to the Hobbit Rock... sorry Classic Rock Society Band of the Year awards last weekend. Had a good time actually, although I have decided that I will not launch into the fighting lager quite so early in the evening, cos then I might stand a chace of doing some quality ligging with the collected musos.

I went there to see Frost*, who were very good, again. However, I was slightly over refreshed by the time I got to meet Jem and TBE and fear I made a bit of an arse of myself. However Jem assures me that I was fine, so that's a relief. Got to reacquaint myself with some some other Frost*ies too.

This live music lark is really good fun - seeing good bands in pokey venues - and I've decided that 2009 will be a year of gigging. Coming up then are Pure Reason Revolution at the Arts Centre in March and possibly Pineapple Thief at the Peel in Feb. Then, I have an idea to take a trip to Holland to see Frost* (maybe) then we'll see what happens from there.

In other news, I am 44 this week... bollocks !!

I'm also thinking of ways that I can express myself kinda, artistically. So, I've been thinking that I might pitch a Radio show to Future FM and bind that all up into my blog/venue/club idea. I'd like to do that...so I will
