Chalk and cheese...

This evening, out with fellow decade-working-for-the-same-The-Man, Margaret, young Kris-with-a-K and ex-colleague and BBQ thrower extraordinaire, Lorna...

And why not...

First stop The Hudson Hotel – to the bar there and three pints of lovely Loewenbrau Pilsner for your correspondent with a nice bottle of white for the ladies and some Stella and Jack Daniels for the K Man (not in the same glass)...

Suffice to say, I was feeling a little squiffy by the time we left and headed for the “new” Indian Cavalry Club just along the road towards Haymarket station – very possibly the most expensive Indian restaurant in the city...

The food though, was superb. The big fat CBQ partook of some minced lamb pakora followed by a minced lamb karahi (a bit of a theme there) while his companions had things which they enjoyed too – and two more bottles of wine...

After some lengthy post-eat chat, we struggled along to Thomson’s Bar on Morrison St where Lorna was introduced to the wonder that is Gin & Tonic...

Finally slumped into a seat on the bus home around 11:30, six hours on from the meet...

Anne advised she’d had some cheese on toast for her tea...

Reparations are due...

Highlight of the Day : An Indian with some chums

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!
