Let’s start with a little bit of background information…. At the start of 2020, if someone had said ‘lockdown’, ‘social distancing’, ‘the R rate’, ‘let’s have a Zoom meeting’ or ‘Coronavirus’ I think most people would get funny looks. Now, of course, these words are part of the ‘new normal’ – that’s another for you […]

Yes, the headline is correct – the new Ozzy Osbourne song features Sir Elton John! And, speaking as a Ozzy fan for nearly 40 years, it is one of the best songs he’s recorded. It’s like a cross between a Beatles track and Guns N Roses’ 1990s epic November Rain. That might have something to […]

I heard this epic track on BBC Radio 6 Music last night while driving home. It took up nearly half of the journey, but I wasn’t complaining, this is a cracker of a track. Look forward to hearing more!

A couple of weeks ago, in the lull between Christmas & New Year we sat on the sofa and binge-watched the new series from Netflix ‘You’. If you haven’t seen it, you need to. You follows the story of student Guinevere (nicknamed Beck), who meets Joe in the New York bookstore he works in and […]

I’m so pleased Friendly Fires are back producing new music. They disappeared from the face of the Earth a few years ago. Their second album was released in 2011 and there wasn’t any new music from the band until the summer of this year with the anthem Love Like Waves. Now, they have teamed up […]
