A positive use of this energy would be to begin a totally new and innovative project that consumes a great deal of energy and that will be largely identified with you when it is completed. You need to assert your individuality at this time, and this is a constructive way of doing it. (my reading […]
My good friend Stuart tells me that Squeeze played here in 89, supported in part by the Hothouse Flowers, i remember little of the day and wonder where my life has gone. Today the festival has an unshaven quality about it, young and full of rascals on the rave. Headline acts sound massive in the […]
Without too much of a do, with oddly little rehearsal, we fled off to our first festival of the season. The band in fine form as ever, close but no cigars. A warm up show in Navan, next door to Strypes world Cavan, and a late night in a tent outside Dunnes stores. It seemed […]
Cissy and Grace came to the festival at Secret Garden, most people I met said it was not about the music more about the being there. It seemed that way. People in fancy dress swanning about with beers and cocktails, rave dancing on bails of hey. It was great to see Grace and Cissy having […]
One hundred and twenty five days later….knackers in a vice, watched like a hawk, curfew at dusk, car keys confiscated. Not really, its all ship shape and as you would like it to be.

The band completed the album with Chris Thomas and now its in its bag and ready for release, the birth was a tender one, many meetings about art work and track listings took place, in the end the band got what they needed, as it should be. Its a great album im very proud to […]
Woke up next to the one i love opened the curtains, sunshine, not spring but cold cold sun. Back in the studio today with the band, lots to do, so exciting. Meanwhile mrs D is away with the sprats going to Longleat for a few days. Heaven in a duster. God knows life is a […]
Sunshine and a lonely bed, Louise and sprats are staying down in Somerset. Its Easter. Here in Firle the sun shudders down on the garden, outside though still so cold. I can’t think about the wedding its all too much, so its time to hoover and dust, but why, it only gets dusty again and […]
The days go oh too quickly, slow down my days lead this way not that and take it slow, for my end is nearer the more sleep, the more i dream. And then London and the 229. The band took to the stage and stole it. Side of stage, my new pose, it reminded me […]
Two weeks today, its hotting up, but not the weather. My breakfast today was in the Ram, i forgot how much i like baked beans. Made good around the house and hunted for easter eggs around Lewes, but no luck. Lou and children came home and instantly the house was alight with doing and being, […]
