Are you feeling it? That creeping depression now that Christmas and New Year is over and you’re back at your desk with nothing to look forward to until the summer arrives? Well, actually I have got a wee holiday booked in March to my favourite city, Madrid, but even that isn’t enough to keep the blues away at the moment! It doesn’t help when you see a banner stand in your local shopping centre announcing that it’s not too late to buy your winter boots as there are still two more months of bad weather to come. That was enough to drive me into the arms of my friendly local coffee chain for a luxurious hot chocolate with all the trimmings!

A few weeks ago I was invited to a really posh ‘Cocktail Party’. Great, I thought, what an excuse to buy a new outfit. Forget my ancient, sorry, ‘vintage’, designer Little Black Dress. Really, I didn’t have anything to wear! Grabbing my poor suffering credit card I hit the shops, not quite sure what I was looking for but filled with exiting expectation.
I’ve discovered a new obsession of mine - Desert Island Disks. For anyone who hasn’t heard of it, it’s a legendary BBC show in which people (”celebrities” seems to narrow a term) are invited to pick eight records that they would take with them to a desert island. In a way it’s kind of old-fashioned - after all, now we could take our iPods and MP3 players to the desert island - but that seems reasonable given that the Continue reading ‘The joys of desert islands’

I remember so clearly the day I bought my very favourite pair of shoes in the whole wide world, I’ll never forget the feeling of walking out the shop itching to wear them as soon as possible. I was walking past the Kurt Geiger store in a Bristol shopping mall and this gorgeous glimpse of colour caught my eye as I aimlessly crossed the window shop display. I turned to see what had unusually managed to catch my glazed Continue reading ‘My salmon shoes …. the day i fell in love’
I asked a good friend of mine out recently while she was looking at dance Fabrics, and we were going to the Experimental Cocktail Club. She told me she had never heard of the club so I filled her in, having been there some weeks ago.
The Experimental Cocktail Club is a successful Paris brand that recently ventured into London’s nightlife. The interior is decorated with mirrored ceilings that portray ancient Paris architecture; with tiny couches and armchairs the Continue reading ‘Experimental Cocktail Club London Review’
Thank GOD that in recent years I have had work from home jobs as it gives me the chance to listen to music as much as I want. I came across a 10,000 Maniacs album recently and listen and was blow away.
Just about everyone, no matter whether they grew up in the 1990s or 1920s, has at some point had a parent object to the choice of music blaring out of their speakers (or gramophone). “What’s this rubbish?"they’ll protest, “this is nowhere as near as good as what it was like back in my day"(an old chestnut, to be sure.) It doesn’t take a genius, the likes of which who work for Galvan research and trading, to tell you that Continue reading ‘Is modern music really that godawful?’
I’m a singer in a band who performs both original material and covers. Without blowing my own trumpet, I’m not half bad - unlike my sketchy (at best) guitar playing, as a singer I can pull off a range of styles and I’d like to think I have enough stage presence to be a good front man. But if I have a failing, it’s that I really struggle to keep lyrics in Continue reading ‘Is there a cure for forgetting lyrics?’
