Went to the comedy club at the Wyvern on Sunday, with Tom Davis
As the headliner, who was good, but John Robertson was one of the support acts, he’s very different but really funny.

We’ve also got tickets for Jason Manford, Greg Davies, Ross Noble & Bridget Christie.
We’re also going to see Gary Meikle in October.
There’s another comedy club at the Wyvern in September with Reginald D Hunter headlining

Reg is great, I have spend a couple of nights on the piss with him and a few mates, hes the smoothest person I have ever met, he can charm any lady, my wife loves him because he told her that she has "righteous hair!" whatever that really means! Manford was brilliant as always last night, very relatable for anyone who has kids and spend half an hour just chatting with the audience, being front row was good as I had a good conversation with him about his brother Colin who I know very well. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Reg was the compere when I did a comedy club for a few terms at university in roughly 1999! He's not changed then. Still smooth.

Seen RDH a couple of times. Always fun. The support one time made a joke about unlicensed cab drivers and got a response he'd never had anywhere else and immediately realised something had happened in Swindon. I was dying just from the awkwardness of it.

Talking of gigs, go get your tickets for My dad's bigger than your dad festival, set up in memory of Dave Young. Good cause, and Dave was a top bloke I knew for years.
Jayo, you playing there this year?

No not this year, sadly. They don't like to put acts on two years in a row. Talk in Code this year I think. RIP Dave - absolute legend. |

A Killing Joke fix of sorts with Light of Eternity in Bristol tonight.
The KJ drummer involved. They certainly have the sound.
Thekla, first gig experience on a ship.

PIL on Thursday in Cheltenham. Work close, seems rude not to, though I don't know much of their work.
To Pet Shop Boys or not to Pet Shop Boys... That is the question

Went to Oasis at Wembley last night.
Absolutely superb.
Richard Ashcroft was quality too, but i thought Cast weren’t that great.

I quite liked cast, mainly because I didn't think I knew many of their songs except their first album, and they played most of them.
Ashcroft was a step up. No arguments

Public Image & maybe some Batch spotting at Cheltenham Town Hall this evening.
Seen then a couple of times on this tour & JL was in fine form.
A unique band fronted by a unique individual.
