Highgate...

I'm excited at the prospect of having a pint or two here this weekend.

I'll also be paying homage to a man whose work resonates as loudly as ever today...

Troubled Striker Of The Week...

Great to see English cricket's last character back to his best.
A talent never in doubt in these quarters.

Tomorrow...

Faber Social at Selfridges...

Adam and I will be playing a short set at the Faber Social Closing Party for Selfridges' Words Words Words season on March 1st. The evening looks like it will be extremely fun, with some steller literary guests reading courtesy of the good people at Faber, and drinks courtesy of the good people at The Social, possibly the best bar in central London. Details of the event can be found here, maybe see a few of you down there.

Troubled Striker Of The Week...

Always sorely missed during any Pakistan Test series, it was great to see Boom Boom back in the first One-Dayer. But as much as I love his bowling, his wicket celebration, his big, infectious grin and his perfect floppy hair, I'd love to see a couple of real explosive batting performances from him. I miss those almost as much as I missed that hair when he cut it short a couple of years ago.

The North...

Thanks so much to everyone in Wakefield for making the 'Creeper's latest Northern sojourn as fun and productive as ever... recording work all done on the record and now just some mixing and sequencing decisions to be made before it sees the light.

Hopefully have some kind of preview up on-line soon.
