Made in Japan is still going. If anyone has not heard the drum solo from The Mule at deafening volume, then you really should.

It’s a must like Moby Dick from Led Zeppelin...

And what about the organ/guitar interplay on Space Truckin’. Amazing.

Blue Guitar is a great album. We’re hoping to book him for WemsFest later this year. You must come.

Thank you Nigel. If you can book him, I'd love to come.

John Martyn - One World

Inspired by James. Besides, it's not a school night.

The Mrs will be back soon and you will have to turn that racket down! Unless of course the French Class Xmas do goes on a bit.

I don’t normally go for compilations, but this one, We Out Here, is outstanding!

From Bandcamp:

A primer on London’s bright-burning young jazz scene, this new compilation brings together a collection of some of its sharpest talents. A set of nine newly-recorded tracks, We Out Here captures a moment where genre markers matter less than raw, focused energy. Surveying the album’s running order, it could easily serve as a name-checking exercise for some of London’s most-tipped and hardworking bands of the past couple of years. Recorded across three long, fruitful days in a North West London studio, the results speak for themselves: they’re a window into the wide-eyed future of London’s musical underground.
