Just some photos from the SoundLab event at the end of April, which was amazing!
The Clangers and Bagpus exhibition at the V&A Museum of Childhood
I’ve never been to the V&A’s Museum of Childhood before, but decided to drop in and take a look as I was passing the other day. They had an exhibition of the Clangers and also Bagpus, which was brilliant. I love the Clangers and always have done.
It was only a little exhibition, but it was lovely to see and I’m sure to go back to this museum soon.
Brian Eno, The Ship
I got the this the other day. It’s a beautiful object. A gatefold double LP with clear vinyl and four art prints too. It’s lovely, really lovely.
It’s the first of May
And today I’ve been thinking about a song, “Tam Lyn Retold” by the imagined village. Which was a great song and a great album too. “Tam Lyn Retold” was performed by Benjamin Zephaniah, and it was amazing. Keep thinking of the song today.
A VL-1 thing?
So here’s my old Casio VL-Tone, the VL-1. I loved these little devices. In many ways they are where my journey into electronic music began.
So I’m doing something to do with Casio VL-Tones soon. It’s not a big thing, but it’ll be a fun thing.
Blake’s 7 Liberator Chronicles 7
I’ve only listened up to The Liberator Chronicles 6 up to know, so I’m slowly going to get through all of these, starting with 7. When I’ve listened to it I’ll let you know the verdict.
Seeing Laurie Anderson’s film “Heart of a Dog”
I’ve been wanting to see this film for ages now so when it came up at the Tate Modern I was really pleased. But when I got there the added bonus was she was there too. Which was amazing. She gave a little talk at the beginning and then answered questions at the end. It was fantastic.

Goodbye Gareth, you will be missed
I can’t believe that I didn’t pick up on this last week, and I also can’t believe that Gareth Thomas has died. What a shame, only 71 as well, that’s not old these days. He was brilliant as Blake in Blake’s 7, which is a great favourite of mine. I feel like the world of Blake’s 7 is much smaller as a result.
I’m also thinking that I should now re-watch the entire TV series and also re-listen to all the audiobooks. That could take quite a while, but would of course be worth it.
I also wonder what Big Finish will do now in terms of the next step for their audio series for Blake’s 7? I do hope that they continue it somehow.
