    Freddie Mercury tribute concert

    It includes the last performance of the late great Mick Ronson. The rerelease of Bohemian Rhapsody in 1991 led to a 14yr old me discovering rock music, so I was bang up for this concert and recorded it all on VHS.

    The Battle of Britain.

    As a kid growing up in the 70s/80s I would read those little comic books and romance about being a fighter pilot. Its only when you get older you realise not everyone survived and it was so traumatic in reality. I still study WW2 and one of the aspects I’m currently looking at is quality...

    Boro taxis vs Uber

    I choose uber over boro taxis, and tbh would rather walk than book a boro taxi. I tried booking an uber after a gig in Stockton and they kept cancelling my booking, so they aren’t too trustworthy neither. Ended up walking home, which ain’t bad normally but it was raining. I’m catching a train...

    What's the bleakest, most depressive music you can think of?

    People of limited ability playing an acoustic guitar. Think of wonderwall but played by an amateur.

    If you were transported 500 years back in time......

    It would take me a while to work out if I was in Grangetown. I often have to prove I’m not from the future when I visit there.

    When he reports back if he doesn’t say bech instead of béchamel I’ll know he’s lying.

    Post your little known musical factoids

    Not sure if this has been said, but I watched a documentary where Herbie said he persuaded Bowie and Lou Reed to use both an electric and double bass as it gave a better depth. He admitted that he was primarily motivated to get paid twice as he was paid per instrument.

    Things you do/say that make you feel old…

    Started enjoying herbal tea, went to magalif and sat in a bar sipping a peppermint blend. Same holiday was coaxed into a bar by the street sellers for a 2for1 cocktail deal and instead asked them for a local red wine 😂. It was like the music stopped and everyone stared at me. Felt proper out...

    Restaurants leeds bradford airport

    Wasn’t quite ready last month when I was there. I booked airport lounge and it was spot on - well worth the £20. In the past I’ve used the pub on the roundabout and it’s the same chain as the anson farm in Thornaby.

    The Bellingham's

    Arrogance is probably my issue with Jude, he seems to me that he thinks he’s better than he is. Typical example being the critics saying England were lazy yesterday, I can’t help but think a world class player would drive on and pressure the team ? Jobe however Ive always thought he looked a...

    The absolutely not list.

    Jurgen Klopp - tires too easily. Jose mourinho - not until his win percentage trends upwards for a couple more seasons.
