Just for general wonderings…
Today’s picture is a record: Noah and the Whale. It was what I was listening to this afternoon.
I was inspired to get it spinning thanks to BBC Sounds and ‘Tracks of my Years’. They had Marcus Mumford on it and he was talking about the music scene he was involved with, including Laura Marling, Florence and the Machine, and Noah and the Whale.
Noah and the Whale made it to the turntable first.
Wednesday after school is swimming. 30mins up and down our weirdly small school swimming pool.
This is probably first swim for around a month so it felt extra tough tonight. I’ve been promising myself to book a few lessons; I find swimming really difficult and want to be better. It’s on the list!
Village Hall Committee meeting night.
Emergency call out….
Went for a 6 mile run around the village. The rapeseed is in flower everywhere.
Frank Turner.
The Gliderdrome, Boston.
Incredibly, only our second gig of the year.
The Gliderdrome in Boston is an icon venue, began life as an ice rink in 1930s, went through various incarnations to become what it is today. The greatest names in music have played The Starlight Room over the years. Tonight it was the turn of Frank Turner.
It’s the 20 year anniversary of Frank’s first EP ‘Campfire Punkrock’ and he was playing a short run of dates across the country. Boston was the closest. Although it was a 2 hour drive away!
The gig was fantastic, solo show, Frank on top form. Great to hear the tunes without the band.
Of course, having only been to two gigs, Frank goes top.
