Quoted from Chalky
Dirty Old Town was written by Ewan McColl who was of course Kirstys dad who with The Pogues delivered the best Christmas song of all time

When he got booted out of The Pogues he brought out the album The Snake which I loved especially the single That Woman’s Got Me Drinking


Ewan also wrote First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, made most famous by Roberta Flack, and was covered by many different artists, all of which McColl hated with a passion. The cover versions that is, not the artists.

Every day is a school day-I did not know that! I don’t share his distaste for all the cover versions though-I really liked Kelly Jones’ take on it.

I've got tickets to see The Kaiser Chiefs at Lincoln Castle, not to everybody's tastes I appreciate and they aren't my style of music but i do make an exception to some and they are one of them, some of their early stuff were terrific

I can recommend the Iggy Pop show from 6 Music yesterday, he was joined by Tom Waits - two hours listening to the 2 croakiest voices tuned by Marlboroughs and Jack Daniel’s, absolutely quality, could listen to their banter all night. Music was a real eclectic mix.

Saw Madness and the Lightning Seeds a week ago in Manchester. I'd forgotten how many Lightning Seeds songs I knew until they sang them! Also Madness were top - did a few of their new numbers but they were on a par with the old favourites. Only complaint was £8.50 a pint !!

That is brilliant.

Was also at the AC/DC Gardens gig. I think I might have seen B. Johnson there also when he was in Geordie, but that may have been somewhere else. Bought this single from Rumbelows.



Eventually saw AC/DC with Johnson on vocals at the original Wembley Stadium. Envy you getting to see them there in the summer. Enjoy!
