Star Blog

As mentioned below, this might be the last blog entry for a few weeks until we get the 'technical difficulties' sorted. Hang tight, we will return...

In the meantime, went to see Fairport Convention tonight at the Cornerstone in Didcot. It was the first date on their acoustic tour and what a delightful evening it was. Wife was busy holding the fort so the sainted Vanessa came with me, two old Fairport fans suddenly rendered the younger generation by dint of the fact everyone else there looked at least 10 years older than us. Well, Vanessa anyway.

Nice to say hello to Simon Nicol and catch up with Dave Pegg, who congratulated me on my haircut. Very nice to see them do 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes' too, my favourite Fairport classic cut short from the set for many years after the death of Sandy Denny, back now by the grace of Simon. They invited us to Cropredy this year too, which was extra nice, promising oodles of cheap red wine. They certainly know how to tempt an old boy, if only I can persuade wife and kids to try a slice of the good (old) life with me. A very nice end to what has been a trying day, but, hey, you don't wanna hear it and I can't be arsed to tell it.

Oh, and just in case this is my last entry, as it were, for a while, um, well, yeah. You too.
