Brave covers band opening with Wuthering Heights. She did well and didn't murder it.

Consider this your sign to go outside before it gets dark at 4pm again.

It looks like there maybe a nursery cryme in the offing!

We made it up the M5 as far as Sedgemoor services before we needed a "comfort break". Rare occurrence these days.

I am watching a performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons by The Academy of Ancient Music I recorded off Sky Arts a while back. They have a Therabo, the 17 century double necked lute. Very prog. 😄

The postman has been with my "directors cut" copy of Robert Reed's Compendium. Features many "names" including Steve Hackett, Gavin Harrison, Mel Collins, Nick Beggs, Jakko Jakszky, John Mitchell and Dave Stewart (the one from Egg and NHS) among others.

Bright and sunny here today. Nice but I am off to a retina screening appointment so I would have preference yesterday's fog for when I come out with pupils on maximum dilation!

I love this video of Bellever in November 2024 I found. It was very cold with a light dusting of frost, there was a beautiful mist over the river and that night snow fell. #Dartmoor, #Devon #photography

A few snaps from last night's John Hackett Band gig at Ashburton Arts. Great performance throughout by the band and support Heather Findlay. I was there with @singingconductor.bsky.social

The story of Ernest #Shackleton 's #Antartic expedition in 1916 is an incredible tale of survival in the most extreme circumstances. One of the survivors, Lionel Greenstreet lived very close to me. There is a good chance I would have passed him in the street when I was a child.

Looks like Torbay council is doing something about the intorable delays caused by roadworks on the A385 at #Churston. Work will stop until October and restart with a new traffic management plan. Fingers crossed.

"Heritage" is out there. 11 songs all in a progressive folk style: 7 traditional, 2 under copyright, and 2 originals. Give us a follow, share the album, and have a proper good listen. #progressivefolk meets #traditionalfolk johnduncanreed.bandcamp.com/album/heritage

Visited our local National Trust Coleton Fishacre near #Kingswear this afternoon. Lovely as always.

Brunel and Turner, two greats of the 19th Century. I love this painting.

Rain, Steam and Speed, The Great Western Railway, 1844, by JMW Turner, sublime English Romantic artist, inspired French Impressionists. An early GWR broad gauge locomotive crosses Maidenhead Bridge, built in 1838 by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, visionary engineer; died #OTD 1859. National Gallery London

Looks like we are effectively under siege here in #Brixham with roadworks at #Churston adding an hour and a half to journeys in and out. It would literally be faster to walk the 5 miles to Paignton. Due to end late November!!!

The story of Keith Emerson's GX1 youtu.be/bmQZSYhbr9w?... Needless to say I have an emulation of the later GX-80, but not the chops.

Heya, Our Thursday gig in Totnes has morphed into an altogether less informal event. So just come, make any kind of donation on the door, byob, come and hang out. We'll be on at some point around 8pm ish and be playing our set in prep for our festival gig in London on Sunday.

Robert Reed has assembled a stellar group of musicians for his latest Kompendium release, including one @stevehacketthq.bsky.social youtu.be/yGG61724wuk?...

Holloway path or ancient trackway, that leads to Walkhampton church yesterday, #Dartmoor #Devon #photography Holloway paths derived from the Old English hola weg, “sunken road” are formed over centuries by a combination of heavy human traffic and natural water erosion wearing away at soft bedrock.
