Sex Pistols announced today, with Frank Carter doing lead vocals. I’m tempted to go just to see 70yr old punks wondering around the place 🤣

I know someone who went to their gig at the 100 Club earlier this year Gav. He said it was the best gig he’d been to in many a year! (And he’s not even a punk really)

Saw Ross Noble at Leamington yesterday. Not music but he was brilliant. His pitch for getting a musical version of The Human Centipede starring Elaine Page was hilarious.

If you don't like strange, stream of consciousness based stuff then you'd hate it.

I went to see Richard Hawley tonight at Sheffield City Hall. A more humble, down to earth chap you’re never likely to meet, he can hold a tune and play a guitar too!

I wasn’t aware his god father was Joe Cocker. Richard said Joe never hung around the house due to music, but because he fancied his mum and fit radiators with his dad for the gas board 🤣 But he did say his dad introduced Joe to his first Ray Charles record and the rest is history

Superb evening

I love Richard. Every time he plays the Barrowlands he tells the story of him being conceived in the dressing rooms there!!

He is indeed excellent. I’ve seen him a few times, the last at Lytham Festival a couple of years ago.

I know Joe Cocker’s brother Vic, who somewhat bizarrely was Chief Executive at Severn Trent Water for a number of years. I could never get him to talk about Joe though. All he would say is that “he’s his own man”.

That's sibling speak for 'he's a proper cunt' 🙂
