Random hedge...

Allan Holdsworth - Discography on Shuffleplay

Up early and burning a 4CD set for old music chum Malcolm Logan, whom I was to meet tonight for drinks, following our reunion at Count Brodski's 50th in August...

The pack comprises over 50 songs recorded by our group at Anne and my's record shop "Reptile" between 1993 and 1998...

Also in the band were Count Brodski himself and the late lamented Mr Charlie Dootson...

That's demonic Talcy on the front, pictured at Brodski's bash...

Suffice to say, we had a high old time in a bar in Haymarket, chatting over the old days, bands we'd been in, who sacked whom etc etc...

We agreed to meet again soon...

Your corresponent made his way into the night, a little the worse for wear - so much so that pictures of random hedges and trees were taken...

However, some possible CD cover art also emerged...

Home to the lovely Exec Producer and furry wee cat...

Highlight of the Day : A meet with Talcy Malcy...

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!
