Kevin Greening RIP

Had the pleasure of guesting on Kevin's show many moons ago, a real gent and lover of music.

Rest in peace.

Brighton Pier at Dusk

The pier was deserted at dusk, such a beautiful light...

Wonderfulsound

The Wonderfulsound Libraries

This is my favorite online radio show.

Occasional enough to be worth waiting for, not afraid to take risks, or to just be daft.

More importantly its a great place to hear some incredible new music such as John Stammer.

Tune in, turn on, and enjoy the Wonderfulsound, Wonderfulsound, Wonderfulsound....

Munich

Cold and dark and sometimes beautiful ... had a long walk through the empty streets.

Jim Demetriou

I had not seen Jim since the days I used to go to the 100 Club 6Ts Allnighters and the Norfolk Village gatherings (many moons ago). Jim was a lovely, genuine guy, crazy about his music, and a phenomenal dancer. Very saddened to hear that Jim recently lost a long battle against Cancer. There is a memorial night on Friday 16th November with his old mates Liam and Angelo on the decks, alongside Ady Croasdell, Buey and others. Rest in piece. 

This is a lovely tribute on the Soul-Source website.

Ray O'Reilly, Bar Italia, 1996

Some old pre-digital photos scanned in for posterity - this is my old mate Ray O Reilly, the man behind probably the longest running Northern Soul show on Irish radio.

Global Gathering 2007

Many thanks to the lovely people at MySpace UK for inviting me onto the travelling madhouse known as the MySpace Summer Daze Bus at Global Gathering.

Following a DJ set on Saturday afternoon, which went down well...



..it was back later that evening for some excellent sounds from ISSST and more lost hours than I care to remember.



God bless you, and all who sail in you....

After the torrential rain of last week, a crystal clear sunny afternoon, the view here is around the corner from where I work.

It's back to rain now, needless to say....

Monty's Mobile Dinner 23.07.07

Many thanks to Paul Monty Munford for a tremendous night on the tiles with an interesting crowd of Mobile Industry bods at the Develop conference.

The charming food was heavily outnumbered by liquid refreshments at Due South, Brighton, and when the mayhem subsided, slightly, it was all back to the Brighton Metropole Hotel for further mis-advertures.

If you want to find out more about Paul's excellent newsletter, worth it for the weekly intro alone, email paul.munford@playerx.com.

Daft Punk's Electroma - Strange & Beautiful

No dialogue ...... no music by Daft Punk..... sad, beautiful, deep.

It's being screened in selected Art House cinemas and festivals, visit www.electroma.org for details.

I was lucky enough to catch it in Stockholm last year, so blown away I kept the ticket!
