Sadly the Poppycock gig scheduled this Saturday is being postponed as Una Baines has unfortunately broken her wrist.

They’re working on a rescheduled date for spring next year and we’ll announce asap.

That’s a wrap! On these past few tour dates, John McKay’s Reactor tour has proven to be a force to reckon with! Powerful, tight and creative. They’ll have more to say next year - stay tuned!

Response was phenomenal. John - whose career was derailed by a misleading public connection with Gary Glitter, despite his immense distaste for the man - was greatly touched: “It’s a surprise. The reviews everywhere – it’s been beyond my wildest dreams really.”

Rock on John!

Today marks the 5th anniversary of John Rossall’s ‘The Last Glam In Town’, heralded as an all-time great glam album, and a victory for leader John Rossall. But it’s a bittersweet moment. . . John passed away from illness almost exactly a year later, on October 5, 2021.

It’s BANDCAMP FRIDAY! Today artists get the fees normally would be garnered by Bandcamp itself. It's a great way to help artists in these tough times . . . it's a lot of work, and we take no pay from any of it. We appreciate your support and aim to keep bringing you superb musical gems!

Happy release day!

We doubt any record will be released in 2025 that betters Dead Famous People's "Wild Young Ways" for sheer charm, brilliant song craft and utter brilliance.
