A John Wetton day on the Jukebox as news comes in that he’s had to cancel much of the current Asia tour due to a heart condition which may require surgery...

Mr Wetton has figured in several of my all time favourite bands such as King Crimson, Roxy Music, UK and Asia...

Final work on the Creek “1.0.0” 4 disc sets for tomorrow night’s meet up with “the lads”...

Tonight it’s back to the Festival, accompanied by Anne, to see Paul Sinha, a comedian we’d first encountered earlier this year at Jim Park’s Comedy Club...

In a roasting hot venue comprising three stuck-together storage containers (hey, it’s the Fringe you know – and at £3.65 for a bottle of cider, someone’s raking in the cash), the gay, asian, part-time GP, entertained a sell-out crowd for an hour with his anecdotal tales surrounding those moments in his life when he’d felt like “The King of the World”, not one piece of which was a repeat of the set we’d heard earlier this year...



Great stuff and, like Richard Herring and Stewart Lee, recommended...

I noted that all three comics we’ve seen this Fringe have extolled the virtue of living life to the full because this is all you get....

Death can come so suddenly and, as Sinha says, at any time we might well only be 5 minutes away from it. So we really ought to seek out more situations where we feel like the metaphorical Kings of the World...

How true...

Highlight of the Day : Yet another good night out...
