So here we are again. May the 4th. It’s a special Star Wars day as we look forward to ‘The Force Awakens’ later this year, and very special for me as I’m looking forward to going to Secret Cinema which is ‘Star Wars’ this year and I think it will be awesome.

I’m a big fan. That’s all.
A page for today … contact
So here’s the next entry in my little wander through the pages in the blog. Today’s page is ‘contact‘, which is very simple indeed and just has a few basic contact details. It used to have a nice simple contact form as well, but this attracted way too much spam so it had to go.
Some pictures from Music Tech Pitch

Pitch
I think I’ve been doing Music Tech Pitch for around 3 years now. It is interesting to see how it has changed over that time. Anyway. Here are a few pictures from the last one in April this year.
My videos: ZX Spectrum Emulation 1
I don’t experiment with it so much anymore, but I used to quite a lot before. I think I always wanted to find that perfect device that could do everything, and often the only way was with an emulator of some kind.
More “Survivors” coming from Big Finish in 2016
I suppose it was to be expected, but I’m glad to hear it. I really enjoyed the first series of “Survivors” from big finish and I’m looking forward to the next one coming in June of this year, so knowing that there’s another three seasons coming is good news.
Welcome to May
May is always a really busy month for me and this year it’s no different at all. There’s a lot of personal stuff that happens for me in May, and also it’s the month where Palm Sounds has it’s birthday. Traditionally I’ve done quite a bit of celebrating for Palm Sounds birthday but I haven’t really decided what to do as yet.
Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!
I read this ages ago and it made me actually laugh out loud. So I decided that I’d quite like to read it again and perhaps even rediscover the series. I found that there’s a series of audiobooks read by Nigel Planner and I thought I’d give this one a go first. It’s excellent. I wasn’t sure if Nigel Planner’s voice would work for me or not, but actually it really did and I liked it a lot. The audiobook is unabridged too, which I always prefer.
I found that I didn’t actually remember much of the story, in fact I really just remembered a sort of essence or feel of the story, but not the plot itself.
It’s made me want to listen to the whole series now, so next will be “The Colour of Magic”. I might get that next month. Perhaps. We’ll see anyway.
35 years as a solo artist is some achievement
And he’s still making incredible music. Even though I think I have most of the tracks on here there are a few that are new so I’ll get it anyway. I love his sound and I hope that he keeps going for a long long time to come.
