RIP Mani. We got to see the Stone Roses a few times early on in their career at small gigs in Manchester and got to see his first gig with the band in Manchester in ‘87.

Went The Day Well, any Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles with Peter Cushing. I remember as a rowdy youth walking out of the cinema when Manhattan came on as it was in black and white :)

Kendo Nagasaki, Mick Mc Manus, Catweazle, Rollerball Rocco and Les Kellet.

Absolutely persisting it down here all day in Cheshire and very windy. It’s supposed to be dry again next week week for a fair while. Last weekend we culminated a week in North Yorkshire (in the campervan ) at Bedale and the weather was fantastic.
