Day 13. Unranked

Free Us (& Dub version) - The Twinkle Brothers (1980)

A chance encounter with the Countrymen album at a friend’s house opened me up to a world of Jamaican music beyond Bob Marley.

The rather excellent John Grant last night. It was a true privilege to see him and his fantastic band at the cosy Cambridge Junction in front of an audience who were up for banishing the Sunday night dreads. Support act Lynks were an absolute scream too!

Time to kill this evening as picking up my daughter from a late shift, so went to catch A House of Dynamite at the flicks. Chilling, thrilling but the film’s structure left me a wee bit frustrated.
