REVEREND RICHARD COLES has books to write

“I’ve worked with prisoners who were coming to the end of sentences for terrible crimes. The kind of crimes for which there is no forgiveness, I think, but when you get to know people and you walk alongside people with that kind of history, you don’t have to go far back to see they were victims too before they were aggressors. Once you get that sort of picture of people it’s hard not to feel compassion… We must judge as we would wish to be judged, and that is with compassion.” Crime novels also express a reality—that life is all light and shade,

POET with a capital P, politician with a small p

There remain some grainy, scratchy recordings of Frost reading his work, and there is an element of the tones of voice we would later associate perhaps with such books and filsm as Tales of Lake Woebegone.

THE (ROUND) TOWER OF SONG

The Round Tower label remains in many ways the kernel of the music collection on my computer. We have posted many items of news, previews, interviews and reviews, still available in our extensive archives, on the likes of America artists Katy Moffatt and Tom Pacheco, and English singer writers like  Gary Hall and Tom Pacheco.Finding this Hot Press interview with Clive Hudson reminds me that there are many more Round Tower artists still to bring to these pages and so we look forward to creating updates on the careers of Dolores Keane, Procul Harem, Barrowside, Reg Mueross, Peter Sarstedt, Andrew Hardin, Joe Brown, Tom Russell, Josie Kuhn (left), Albert Lee, Hogan´s Heroes, Sylvia Tyson, Steve Young, Susan Chawner and The Nelson Brothers.
