Two posts in one day for you lucky, lucky readers of this infrequent little blog, how exiting! There are three things which my life revolves around, my work with The Friends of Bedfordshire Society, my love of music (especially live) and my love of beer. I had a bit of an update on the music […]
NEW MUSIC – Natasha Gilbert
I Should have told you about Natasha a long time ago. I remember standing at a music festival in Milton Keynes next to her brother when he posed the question, “So, are you going to write a blog article about my sister then?” Natasha was on the stage and she was rocking it and at […]
Real ale really is the real thing (did you really need convincing?)
I know it’s been a long time since I last posted but truthfully there hasn’t been much to blog about. I haven’t really been drinking anything that interesting and work has meant that life has been plodding on without going anywhere or doing anything of any note. Or at least that is what I thought. […]
I’m going to go on a little rant now…
I have just got back from the Isle of Wight and this year’s Isle of Wight music festival where a fun time was had by all. There was one thing there which really got my goat. The Beer. Now I’m sure that the powers that be have done a lot of market research and deduced […]
The Session #88 – Traditional beer mixes
As you should all be aware by now The Session is a monthly group exercise whereby bloggers from around the world all come together and collectively post on a given topic which surrounds the subject of beer. This month the session is being hosted by Boak and Bailey from boakandbailey.com. They said: We’d like you to […]
The Great Escape Festival 2014 – Day 3
I left the hostel after a few hours kip. “It’s the last day” I was thinking to myself, could it really be over already? It felt like I was just settling in. I made my way, the same as yesterday to Blind Tiger. Distracted by the smell of the free barbeque I’m not sure I […]
The Great Escape Festival 2014 – Day 2
I like a lie in and for me one of the most irritating things in life is waking up earlier than you have to. I knew that I’d be seeing my first band at about midday and yet for some reason my subconscious decided to wake me up at half 9. This wasn’t funny considering […]
The Great Escape Festival 2014 – Day 1
As the previous post said, I’m going back to writing a bit about the music I’ve seen lately and a few weeks ago was The Great Escape Festival, an annual event held in Brighton as part of the much wider Brighton Fringe Festival. WARNING: This post contains bad photography. After the great Darjeeling debacle I eventually arrived […]
The great Darjeeling debarcle
I was about to start writing a post about The Great Escape Festival, but as I was writing I kinda got into a bit of a rant about tea. So I’ve chopped and changed it about a bit. Great Escape to follow, I promise. Lets begin at the beginning. It was a Thursday, it was […]
Note to self: Remember, you do have a blog!
I know what you are thinking, “Holy crap, this blog has been dormant for so long I thought you were dead!”. Well no, I’m just a crap blogger. I often can’t think of anything useful or interesting to write and when I can think of something, well… I’m just too lazy to turn the laptop […]
