Another quid at a boot fair (from a mate who was selling a few CDs for a charity stall), and a massive bargain. This is an odd one...

A lot of people sneered at and derided Paul Weller's first post-Jam project, but I enjoyed the laid back, jazz influenced band that he...

Time for the third part of the Radio Gnome Trilogy, another album which I've known for almost 50 years. I first bought a copy of this...

This album was my introduction to Richard Dawson, when it was the featured album on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone on BBC Radio 6Music. And...
