An unbelievable 22 years ago today since Crispy the Kitten was born - I remember like it was yesterday...

Meg the Black Cat's unofficial birthday is 22 March but we don't know exactly how old she is - we hope she's not as old as she might be....

Phil Manzanera's "6PM" arrived today. A 'nice' album - and one which features other Roxy Music alumni Brian Eno, Andy Mackay and Paul Thompson along with David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and Robert Wyatt, once of Soft Machine...

Lovely pasta for tea tonight, created by the lovely Anne, then the dishes, washed by me, then a set run through, then "CSI : Miami" and "CSI : NY" both 'live' rather than on tape, then another listen to Phil Manzanera as I updated the diary...

An offer of a slot at South Queensferry on Saturday afternoon came in by e-mail today - an unexpected delight - I have a prior family engagement but will make the gig if I can play early enough - it's from 2 till 6, open air at the Two Bridges Hotel and also features at least three SQ acts, Impossible Songs, Norman Lamont and Tommy Mackay - all in all, eight 'turns' will each do half an hour - I'm hoping to be on first or second...

It's a benefit to draw attention to the South Queensferry Arts Festival, which takes place in September.....

...when I'll be doing more gigs at various Beanscene Cafes....it's the new Out of the Bedroom....

Highlight of the Day : An unexpected invite....

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
