Strength and Honour

A bit of a quick blogpost with a heads-up on Vinnie Jones latest outing on DVD, Strength and Honour. It looks pretty good – it’s a fairly warts and all tale about the struggles of Irish country life, and looking at the trailer they seem to have taught Vinnie how to make a passable attempt […]

Laura Live

Last night we went over to the Union Chapel to see Laura Veirs, on her worldwide tour to promote the new album, July Flame I love the Union Chapel – it’s a unique space with a unique history, and an appropriate venue for such a unique talent as Laura Veirs. Given its cavernous dimensions it’s […]

Yesterday, as it was gloriously sunny in London for the first time this year, A and I went for a very long walk around town, starting at Waterloo Bridge and then heading south across the river, making a big loop via Elephant & Castle and Borough that took us back across into town. I always […]
