A few years ago (1994) we saw the emergence of social networks, one of the first of which was Geocities later, other social networks such as facebook(2004),instagram(2010) whatsapp (2009) appeared. We

I posted last month with a bike club shirt and I found another when clearing out my wardrobe. It is actually a sweatshirt, but that still counts for #ShirtOnSunday as long as founder @hockney approves.

The #ShirtOnSunday theme was started by @hockney who has a vast collection of t-shirts that bring back memories for him. I have far fewer, but I keep finding some to feature. This week I am writing about

Freddie Mercury died from consequences of AIDS on 24th November 1991. He was one of the greatest showmen in rock and is sadly missed. I was lucky to see him perform with #Queen twice. At the Brit awards

This goes back a few years. I spent a couple of years in Germany after university and when I came back to the UK I decided to get a motorbike. Somehow I found out there was a local bike club who I hooked

It's hard to believe it was seven years ago, but #London2012 was a big deal for us. My other half loves a big sporting event and so she went all out on getting tickets. We did pretty well. Between us we

42 years ago I saw the original Star Wars: A New Hope as an 11 year old. That was a great time to see it. Of course I saw the sequels too and loved them. Some years later we had the prequels which were

My December began with two Frank Zappa tribute concerts. First, the Zappadan Zappajam, wherein various West London Zappa fans perform in a community hall in Acton, and then this - Hot Rats performed by

I’ve been drinking real ale for about 35 years, and been a member of CAMRA for nearly as long. The Campaign for Real Ale was founded in 1971 and is the UK’s largest consumer organisation on a single topic,

The #ShirtOnSunday theme was kicked off by @hockney who has a vast selection to choose from and I expect he has this shirt too. A couple of years ago I heard that a project was underway to preserve the

Late autumn in 1979, after school one day, Nigel said we should go to his house because his dad had a copy of the new Pink Floyd album. I wasn’t a Floyd fan - I was just starting to explore heavy metal

In the previous shirt I went through the main stage bands at Hard Rock Hell. The main stage room was low-ceilinged, with a stage that came too far forward and had the ‘VIP’ seating area right in front,

The #ShirtOnSunday tag was started by @hockney who has a massive collection to work through. I have a few more to work through yet. It can be any story related to a t-shirt, but I expect a lot will be

Two weeks after HRH Prog I was off to my next HRH event, this time in their new holiday camp location on the edge of Great Yarmouth. When I did a holiday camp festival, this at the start of this year,

“Once upon a time there was a guy who thought that music was important and that rock 'n' roll songs ought to say something different in their lyrics. So he wrote a few hundred of these items, trying to

I’ve been to a few HRH events over the last couple of years, but this was different for two reasons - It was in London at Shepherds Bush Empire, meaning we could commute, and Janet came along as well!

As part of our driving holiday up the Mississippi, we stopped for a couple of nights in Clarksdale, one of the more well-known crossroads and an excellent base to explore the delta blues region. One of

As most of my posts are being zeroed I do not feel so bad about doing a few today. If you use SteemAuto you can set a maximum number per day per person to get your votes. I am really sorry I did not get

My first memory of hearing Richard Thompson is from a Saturday afternoon radio show in 1991, promoting a soundtrack album. The soundtrack stuff was okay, but the songs from ‘Rumour and Sigh’ were incredible.
