I'm pretty low brow when it comes to books, especially novels. Michael Connolly, Ian Rankin etc. do it for me. Currently reading Stuart Maconie's wonderful The People's Songs - The Story of Modern Britain in 50 Songs. Some surprising choices, but as always Stuart Maconie is a keen observer and write...

Not a Vincent Black Lightning 1952 then?

Off the back of watching Aynsley Lister at Manchester's Academy 3 last night (top gig, brilliant band) I'm listening to my latest CD purchase ( I don't know about others but I can't go to a gig without buying a CD or 3 from the merchandise stand afterwards) http://www.stereoboard.com/images/stories/...

Ah Bridge Of Sighs, a true 10 out of 10 album , and in Day Of The Eagle my favourite all time opening track. I can't listen to that without the air guitar coming out, even if I'm driving.

Talking of great guitarists, when I've had a hard day at work, and just want to sit back and chill out to some beautifully tasteful and laid back guitar, who better than Robin Trower, and his last album..

Walter Trout aint been a well man lately and it showed on his previous album..... But im glad to say he has recovered and Battle Scars (aptly named) is a fine return to form.......Ace. :clap: :dance: Walter Trout..jpg Here's a wee taster....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crYWYi3ySPk :guiness; I we...

Fretless, you might also be interested in the group Patto from the early 70's. In vocalist Mike Patto you have one of the greatest vocalists that you've never heard of, and in guitarist Ollie Halsall, well the word great does not do the man justice. Try this twofer CD.. http://www.pattofan.com/Patto...
