Classic Monsters is my new album featuring Los Jaguares De La Bahía and is out now on all platforms.
Please take time to listen, enjoy and share. The album was made with 100% love, hard work and fantastic musicianship.
Let me know what you think.
Thank you, The Mining Co.

Those of us who grew up in 1970s Britain didn’t have mobile phones or computer games. But we did have fantastic children’s TV programmes. Like Rentaghost. Here’s my tribute to a wonderful BBC show that was born 50 years ago. #Rentaghost

Bob Dylan and his band with A Rainy Night In Soho as the final song tonight in Dublin.

Wonderful scenes at the end—Bob stood up playing the piano towards the end of the song and the whole audience stood with him. Thank you Bob @bobdylan.

If I can find what twitter used to be like some 15 years ago, I’m off!

The net worth of the British royal family is estimated at £22billion, according to Forbes.

King Charles’ own wealth of over £2billion is independent of this.

The Crown Estate is valued at about £16billion.

Why don’t we give this cash to the NHS instead?

Put that on a bus!

Just been watching this. Rockpile knocking them out, one after another. If anyone ever asks you what a rock and roll band used to sound like...

2 September 1666

Some of our mayds sitting up late last night to get things ready against our feast to-day, Jane called us up about three in the morning, to tell us of a great fire they saw in the City. So I rose and slipped on my nightgowne, and went to her window, and thought it to be on the backside of Market lane at the farthest; but, being unused to such fires as followed, I thought it far enough off; and so went to bed again and to sleep. About seven rose again to dress myself … By and by Jane comes and tells me that she hears that above 300 houses have been burned down to-night by the fire we saw, and that it is now burning down all Fish-street, by London Bridge. So I made myself ready presently, and walked to the Tower, and there got up upon one of the high places … there I did see the houses at that end of the bridge all on fire, and an infinite great fire on this and the other side the end of the bridge … So down, with my heart full of trouble, to the Lieutenant of the Tower, who tells me that it begun this morning in the King’s baker’s house in Pudding-lane … So I down to the water-side, and there got a boat and through bridge, and there saw a lamentable fire. … Everybody endeavouring to remove their goods, and flinging into the river or bringing them into lighters that layoff; poor people staying in their houses as long as till the very fire touched them, and then running into boats, or clambering from one pair of stairs by the water-side to another. … When we could endure no more upon the water; we to a little ale-house on the Bankside, over against the Three Cranes, and there staid till it was dark almost, and saw the fire grow; and, as it grew darker, appeared more and more, and in corners and upon steeples, and between churches and houses, as far as we could see up the hill of the City, in a most horrid malicious bloody flame, not like the fine flame of an ordinary fire. … we saw the fire as only one entire arch of fire from this to the other side the bridge, and in a bow up the hill for an arch of above a mile long: it made me weep to see it. The churches, houses, and all on fire and flaming at once; and a horrid noise the flames made, and the cracking of houses at their ruins. So home with a sad heart … so as we were forced to begin to pack up our owne goods; and prepare for their removal; and did by moonshine … Mr. Hater and I did remove my money and iron chests into my cellar, as thinking that the safest place. And got my bags of gold into my office, ready to carry away, and my chief papers of accounts also there, and my tallys into a box by themselves.

Tally
A wooden stick used to record numbers, in this case for accounting purposes.

@simon_price01 @Manics The tour was as astounding as the record. A masterpiece I believe.
