Back out into the dark on a cold Friday morning...

Soundtracked initially by rehearsal recordings..

Then Xmas presents...

The view from the office at lunchtime...

To the BHF but no purchases - I need to check these books against my mum's list - first Jardines seen for a good while...

Anne was out today so solo cooking, involving Quorn mince and pasta...

It's 2 January 2020 as I write this and, once again, it's amazing how quickly you forget what's happened...

However, by checking Twitter and Whatsapp and txts I can kind of pull things back together...

I finally pulled the plug on the prospect of the band playing the CBQ set on the 17th - a combination of time of the year, uncorrelated diaries, illness and Keith not even knowing what we were supposed to be doing despite it being almost a month since I sent him the tracks and songsheets finally came to a head...

So, later on, more rehearsing of solo stuff, both "across the years" and the 2020 LP...

A lift for Anne up the hill late on...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Rehearsing...

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!
