Good morning Here’s four EPs for #WeekendSingles

Today’s the seventh anniversary of the publication of When Two Sevens Clash. I still haven’t finished writing the sequel yet - probably never will now - but if you want the first book you can find it below and join an exclusive group. www.amazon.co.uk/When-Sevens-....

‘The positive view is that Eno took difficult avant-garde ideas and made them mainstream. The sceptic might say he took genuinely radical work and repurposed it as a balm…’ Ian Penman on Eno in the London Review of Books. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Starting the evening with a 35th birthday celebration
