… SINGING TWO SONGS FOR US,  WE HAVE…

In his 1934 publication, JB Priestly described his journey between Bolton and Manchester as; “the ugliness is so complete that it is almost exhilarating. It challenges you to live there." These days people from Bolton don’t have rickets but they do have funny bones. Check out Peter Kay (Phoenix Nights  and Car Share): Diane Morgan (Cunk) Paddy Mc Guinness (Top Gear), Sophie Willan (Alma’s Not Normal), Sarah Cox (Radio Two DJ), Vernon Kay (TV host).

MUSICIANS, FRIENDS AND ADMIRERS: John Prine and Elvis Costello

Our taste in music, looking back now, was probably quite similar, and as I say the last time we met was coincidentally at the same gig. During the interval Andrew and I (with his mate joining in) struck a conversation / debate / argument (delete as you think appropriate) about the relative merits of American and British contemporary song-writers. As many readers will know, music to me is all-things Americana but Andrew Moorhouse is a man of the world, with his love of music reaching out around the world with British writing at its core. I was getting a nit more hot under the collar as the ´chat´ developed but I do remember that in his calm and moderate manner Andrew just smiled beatifically, and cited Elvis Costell as the model musician.
