What's-a-happenin' here then?

Why it's Mr Quartet, after having watched the penultimate "Interceptor" and a programme about internet videos featuring funny things cats do and prior to watching this week's "Not Safe For Work" and "Holby", relaxing in the newly improved "back room" giving a listen to his latest acquisition...

...a tasty wee EP from Edinburgh based jazz trio HSK which arrived in the post today...

It is, as they say, splendid...

In other news, my spoken voice (as opposed to my anything else voice) will be appearing in an exhibition in New York in October...

I was going to be reading this but someone's finger got in the way...

...so, I will be reading this instead...

Truly, your correspondent is indeed an artist...

Lights out...

Highlight of the day : Music and art stuff...

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!
