I have been out. No mention herein of us apologising for the lack of iPads at the front of the stage as "We have taken time to learn the songs". I also do not use the phrase 'sticksman'. Ever.

24 years ago today George Harrison took another step towards moksha. Earlier this year I compiled a People’s Playlist of his music guided by scores of Bluesky responders. Each song here is somebody’s very favourite George-related track. Three hours, ’63-‘01. Enjoy.

We're all over the socials, us - MySpace, Friends Reunited, Ceefax - you name it. Or, of course, here's a reminder (in case you needed one, you cheeky scamps) that you can come and look at us in our true, human forms at The Duke, Ipswich on Friday the 28th. You should come.

Someone in a meeting today said "You're warming the pan while the fish is still in the sea" and I don't know if this is ancient Carpathian wisdom or just a genius shot at translating 'Hold your horses' on the hoof. As it were.
