Unkle at the Festival Hall.
Has strong potential to be tedious dreck.
If it is, then it’s my fault given that I bought the tickets.
We shall see.

A bit late as just been and now waiting in a bar for my bus.
Pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs.
Unkle was abandoned in favour of cocktails.
Still, bought a ticket for the jazz, funk, soul thingy in June. They’ll have lot of beer there too.

Full details when your able please Gareth 
They are playing while filing offstage for a well earned interlude.
I was jealous. I keep saying next time but always there is a reason …time is running out
Something Saturn, something something asteroid. Sparkly capes, magnificent hats. Hypnotising rhythms and other worldly noodling.

One of the sax players must be in his 90s.

You explain it so eloquently.
They have hardly spoken to the audience. I don’t know the music, but the highlight for me so far has been “Angels and demons at play”. Coincidentally, that is the only time they named the piece played.
Looking forward to Side Two, although the bike ride home might be a bit wobbly. Luckily I can take cycle paths 90% of the way home.
I now fear disappearing down the Sun Ra vortex, a portal to vinyl-induced penury.

I’ve been doing that recently (and still am) and it makes the Rabbit Hole look sane !
Mrs Waxy: “Shall we redo the bathroom now then?”
Me: “Er, maybe next year”
Mrs Waxy: “But you have been contracting for 6 months, where has all the money gone?”
Me: “Jazz”
Mrs Waxy: “Twat”.

Just ask Chris @vacdac - at the last count I think he was in the 40 album range and still no where near the end
