Off on holiday to Cork, Ireland for the Guinness Jazz Festival, and leaving the big brown china teapot in the capable hands of bludragon and Festival. Wonko the Sane may pop in from time to time. Find them all below on October 4th if you should stumble in to the home of the just-boiled kettle. And if you should stumble in, why not tell me what 45 RPM single you would bring to my 45th birthday party, which I'll also be having during my two weeks off. See you all on 8th November.

Just wanted to leave you a note Spiny. About the Buena Vista Social Club. Just heard that their Miami Beach concert has been cancelled because of fear of anti-Castro protestors.

What a shame. These guys are great performers - last year we saw Los Viejas Trojas (forgive my Cuban) in Glasgow, and it was a fantastic night. They do this patter where the oldest, who's 90, shuffles to the the front of the stage on his walking stick, then throws it away and begins to dance. But nobody can copy those loping rhythms they play.
Key: Complain about this post
