Special mementos! These match programmes belonged Special mementos! These match programmes belonged to the late Marcus Kaye. A very thoughtful gift from my friend Gawain @360events.vr who received such items from Marcus’ Mum, Pat. Obviously, music and football are many people’s passions; for me, they rarely collide. Not quite like this anyway! I will assume that a 12 year old Marcus went to both legs of this 1983 Milk Cup Semi Final tie, at Anfield and then Turf Moor, to see his Burnley heroes take on my Liverpool heroes. I feel lucky to have talked life, music and football, while playing golf with Marcus on only a couple of occasions. It was a pleasure. RIP @marcusintalex @marcusintalex_musicfoundation #marcusintalex #football #music #memento #heroes #passion #burnleyfc #liverpoolfc

RIP John le Carré. Today seemed like a fitting, RIP John le Carré. Today seemed like a fitting, furloughed day to begin my ‘Smiley Project’; I’m recording the unbelievable orchestral score that swells throughout these two BBC adaptations. I’ve read/seen Tinker, Tailor (BBC 1979). But I’m starting in 1982 with Smiley’s People, which I’ve not read/seen... Going in now! #johnlecarre #johnlecarré

Hi! Been a while! Hope you are all doing OK. I’v Hi! Been a while! Hope you are all doing OK. I’ve not felt like Instagramming my life much lately, but this little moment just changed that... 10AM Friday morning, a shaft of light and some beautiful keys and strings bringing feelings of both sadness and joy to my senses. Unreal! Overwhelming! Powerful music! I’d completely overlooked this slice of pure magic from Omni Trio ‘Higher Ground’ 2001 #movingshadow #omnitrio #totesemosh

Late to the party, through going off the social gr Late to the party, through going off the social grid, but I watched ‘Drum & Bass: The Movement’ ~ documentary on YT last night. So I’m revisiting Groove’s Prototype Years this morn 🤘😆 I bought the vinyl way back then, so that I could spin ‘Secrets’ by @johnbbeta . I remember hearing that tune for the first time, high, in a mates car 🥴 (That used to happen a lot. But those days are long gone). What a seriously sick compilation! Decent doc too. #drumandbass #dnb #grooverider @djgrooverider #musicdocumentary #musichistory #musicheritage

Here’s a little vid of me recording the show through Tracktion. The track is LSB’s remix of a tune by Culture Shock on RAM Records. It’s an epic thing of beauty ~ as this breakdown / build-up testifies. I love doing my show!

Had my road bike fixed.. It’s been in the shed f Had my road bike fixed.. It’s been in the shed for the 15 months I’ve been furloughed. I now need for my sprints to The Lowry and back. Got to plug my man Neil at The Chain Link Bike Project. He operates every Thursday out of a container next to Blue Sky / well being centre on Seymour Grove, OT. It’s a proper community spirited venture, teaching bike repair / maintenance to locals. Really good prices too... For only £70 they replaced my cassette, chain, bottom bracket, brake pads & all cables - Neil sourced all parts, apparently some bike parts are very scarce at the mo! Two Thursday afternoons later and I’m good to go! 🚲😄 #chainlink #bikerepair #oldtrafford #stretford #manchester

My guy is self isolating again due to a case of ro My guy is self isolating again due to a case of rona at his nursery. This is his 4th or 5th time - I’ve lost count! He’s already missing his crew, who he calls “my boys”. It’s been shite for a 3.5 year old who just wants to check out his pals’ bedrooms and play with their toys. I remember it was always a buzz to go to your mates house cos they had different Star Wars toys to yours. So Ben is with me for most of his waking minutes this week. I took him to Chorlton Water Park today where he smashed 2 laps of the lake on his bike. I couldn’t keep up! Don’t tell mummy, or his vegetarian sister, but I then treated him to a “hand burger” at “Old Mac Donald’s”. We dined in the car, where I put him straight on burgers.... it’s a hamburger, not a hand burger, but it’s not ham, it’s beef. Also, a cheese burger is not just cheese, there’s beef in there too. So he scoffed my cheese burger, while I ate his hand burger. Today was a good day. ♥️ 🚲🍔😄
Thanks to coronavirus / lockdown, I’ve taken up Thanks to coronavirus / lockdown, I’ve taken up playing the guitar again. I found myself looking back to the music I loved before I caught the DJ bug... Metallica, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Oasis, The Verve, etc etc. 23 years ago I sold all my guitars, amps and pedals to buy a new DJ mixer. Ironically, I just sold a DJ mixer to get these guitars - including Nina’s little eleccy on the left. We are gonna learn together - pinkie promise! & to myself to use my pinkie properly this time! #guitar #learnings

Going in now... ‘My Life in the Bush of Ghosts’ by Brian Eno and David Byrne. 1981. “A vision of psychedelic Africa” - Eno. Wiki - The original package design was created by Peter Saville. The cover image was created by pasting small cutout humanoid shapes onto a monitor and pointing a camera at it to create video feedback, infinitely multiplying the shapes. Byrne said of the process: "Somehow, despite it being very techie, these techniques also seemed analogous to what we were doing on the record. It was funky as well as being techie. Extremely lo-tech, actually, and not what you were supposed to do with a TV set." . . . #brianeno #davidbyrne #petersaville #1981 #northerngrooves #instavinyl #vinyl #album #twelveinch #record #vinylrecord #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #vinyloftheday #albumoftheday #vinylcommunity #nowplaying #nowspinning #analog

I’ve adapted the text on the back.... “Imagine it’s post covid, the kids are in school, it’s your day off, you are coming for an early morning walk with me in May. We park the car on a roadside verge and set off along a footpath through a small copse lying between a gorsy Heath with scattered pines on one side and an open heath on the other. From a nearby tree a blackbird sings melodically with a backing harmony of song thrushes. DADDY!! GET ME SOME MILK NOW! #shatteredillusion 😫

Perfect Sunday morning vibes! Posting these more r Perfect Sunday morning vibes! Posting these more regularly again. Locked-down family life can be fraught at the best/worst of times! I’ve not played my records much lately, due to my listening experiences being routinely contaminated by the noises that a 3 and 6 year old can make! So it’s about choosing my moments... With one kid in the bath, the other with Mum, I was tempted to have a spin. . . . #thetemptations #tamlamotown #1967 #northerngrooves #instavinyl #vinyl #album #twelveinch #record #vinylrecord #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #vinyloftheday #albumoftheday #vinylcommunity #nowplaying #nowspinning #analog #music #audio #hifi #stereo
