Track of the day is Talk Talk’s 1988 sublime ‘I Believe In You.’ The only single to appear from their 4th album Spirit Of Eden. Sit back, chill, listen with headphones, immerse, get the album. You can thank me later. youtu.be/tSg2OIFum3o?...

Royal Iris The Royal Iris, originally named MV Mountwood, was constructed in 1950-1951 by William Denny and Brothers Shipbuilders in Dumbarton, Scotland. Commissioned by the Wallasey Corporation to serve as a passenger ferry for the Mersey Ferry service, operating between Liverpool and the Wirral…

Almost 4 years ago…stop the clocks please. #Glastonbury www.somersetcountygazette.co.uk/news/1849542...

Spent most of the day at Rockaway Park, Temple Cloud roughly half way between Bristol and Glastonbury. (Visit!) I never take it for granted and do pinch myself every now and then when I realise what I do for a job.

Monday Monday. #Monday

Tune of the day from northeast band Benefits, Relentless featuring Pete Doherty. (A Donna Summer/Soft Cell 45 played at 33 1/2 rpm). Brave change from debut album - pays off. youtu.be/f82x-gYxawc?...

Bit of a Bristol event, although I think they have other dates planned. For those who love Talk Talk and the album Spirit of Eden. All the makings of a lovely evening. www.tickettailor.com/events/radio...
