It May Feel Bad: The Soundtrack of My Year. Runner-Up in The Soundtrack of Your Year Challenge.
Looking back, 2024 wasn’t the year I’d hoped for. Yet, through the valleys and peaks, music—and the people closest to me—helped me find moments of joy, loss, and resilience.

Top Five Live Covers You Should Watch
Not too much on denigrating the art of the cover, now. Especially, as I've made clear, the live one. It's often high stakes thanks to some inaugural, celebratory, or tribute event in an arena, maybe even in front of the original artist. The live cover, in my opinion, is how an artist truly earns their stripes. Have they made it their own whilst honouring the original? Have they chosen the right track, or indeed been chosen for the event correctly? And ultimately, can they sing someone else's notes and lyrics with new, exciting meaning without changing its DNA?

Post Hackett Genesis - The Good Stuff
Introduction It was a shock when Peter Gabriel left Genesis, but Phil Collins, who had sung "More Fool Me" on "Selling England By The Pound" stepped up and with Chester Thompson helping out on drums the band produced two more excellent albums, "A Trick Of The Tale" and "Wind and Wuthering" so things still looked good, especially with the excellent Peter Gabriel solo albums, we were getting a lot of great music.
