@SarahTandyPiano It was a super show.

[John Earls @john_earls]

Two outstanding sets from Sarah Tandy at @officialronnies tonight showcasing tunes from her forthcoming album ‘Delicious Capricious’ plus a dip into 2019’s ‘Infection in the Sentence’. The whole band were on fire but a special shout out to Poppy Daniels (trumpet) - one to watch.

Good episode of Front Row with Tom Sutcliffe. Loved the section with Roger McGough (starts on 22 mins) where I confess the exchange with Lawrence Norfolk at the end had me choking up a little bit.

Remembering the great Charlie Watts on what would have been his 85th birthday. I was lucky enough to see him play several times including this gig in April 1983 with Alexis Korner at The Marquee in London to celebrate its 25th Anniversary.

“The exhibition is not just a reliquary. It also makes a case for preservation of the venues that support an £8bn industry”. Good piece by Helen Barrett on ‘Lost Music Venues’ at V&A. I played in quite a few in my 1980s band days (including Bull & Gate).
