Down the front is sometimes the best place to be...

Playlist

Grandaddy - Last Place

Lou Reed - Sally Can't Dance

Various - Annees 80s Vol 2

Various Composers - The Pity of War

Alphaville - Forever Young

After last night's shenanigans with Dr Prog, tonight, with Anne off to see "the best ballet I've ever seen" the Northern Ballet's "Casanova" with chums Debbie and Teresa, I met up with Creeker and Jinglemeister Stu Cobley for the second time in a week...

Here, at the Mosque Kitchen for tea, he showed me how he listens to the CBQ podcasts...

An old man struggled to understand the concept...

On to Potterrow, for a long wait outside in the freezing cold...

...and another long wait inside - technical problems being the reason advised...

Finally in...

...and right down the front, as they say...

Pair of tubes...

Support act, Amber Arcades from Holland were "no bad"...

Then, the switcheroo...

...to tonight's headliners...

More delays as faulty leads on the bass and keyboards were identified and changed - anticipation mounted...

This, one the offending items...

Finally, probably around 90 mins late, we were all set...

A great performance from the five men of a certain age...

I was bouyed by the fact that the bass player played bass as I do - remaining on the root notes and no fancy runs...

The drummer was approximately 100 years old...

An hour and a half or so of top notch musicking - very enjoyable indeed opined your two idiots down the front...

With Anne having taken the car due to our late finish, Stu gave me a lift home...

Earlier in the day, I'd visited the shops at Tollcross and partaken of these three items for just two of your English pounds...

...while this was randomly generated from the pile of freebies...

"This Week" finished off an excellent day...

Highlight of the Day : Grandaddy...

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!
