I went along to this event fairly early, so I think that there were probably a few things I didn’t get to see. Even so it was pretty good and there were definitely some excellent pieces there which were very inspiring. So I’m pleased I got along there.

The fourth doctor to get a new companion!
I read that in the news on the big finish site a week or so ago and I’ve been pondering it ever since. When the fourth doctor came back in the form of excellent stories from big finish. Ever since the stories have been with original companions, the much missed Mary Tamm as Romana 1, Leela from the excellent Louise Jameson, and latterly Romana 2 with Lala Ward.
Now there’s to be a new, or rather a completely new companion. I still don’t know how I feel about that. I guess I’ll have to wait and see how it actually sounds in the end.

Rick Dickinson Interview — Memoirs of a Spectrum Addict
Had the totally amazing opportunity to interview one of my all-time Spectrum heroes, the one and only RICK DICKINSON down in Cambridge. Rick, who designed the ZX81, ZX Spectrum, Sinclair QL, Spectrum+ etc etc etc was an absolute blast. A proper gent, full of brilliant anecdotes, wit and charisma, and a truly genius vision on […]
Some pictures from SoundLab …
Just some photos from the SoundLab event at the end of April, which was amazing!
Blancmange, Blind Vision, clear vinyl
This was a great little find. I do like ‘Blind Vision’. The B side was something I hadn’t heard before too, so that was a bit of a bonus.
Bad Manners at Under the Bridge
What a great gig from a couple of weeks ago. He played all the favs and was awesome. I can’t believe that next year will be 40 years of bad manners. It doesn’t seem possible to me. I’ll probably go along if I can next year. It would seem rude not to.
And then Palm Sounds was 5
I was thinking about this just the other day. A strange feeling when something you’ve been doing for such a long time turns a significant corner. Not that perhaps 5 years is very significant, but it does feel like a big number.
Sometimes I can’t believe that it has been going that long. It makes me wonder where it will go next. Will it still be there in another 5 years, or will it still be relevant or needed. In many ways pointless questions I know, but the kind of thing that your mind churns over in idle moments. Or at least mine does.
Anyway, I didn’t really mention it when the Palm Sounds 5th birthday thing was going on and I kept meaning to, so now I’ve done it, better late than never.
The moment has been marked.
