Christmas Shopping followed by Jesse Green + Skazzmatic

Afternoon all,

Yesterday was spent Christmas shopping with the Wife in Chester. It was all Christmassy and misty. A few drinks were drunk in the wonderful Old Harker's Arms and many gifts were bought.

Then the evening was rounded off meeting up with old friends at The Groves to see the legendary Jesse Green (he drummed with Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley don't you know) perform - my mates Neil and Lee played guitar and drums respectively (their pics are below) - in his new band Skazzmatic. It was a great night, and I don't like reggae but the band rocked and I boogied on down. Jesse Green is a great showman and I recommend you see the band if you get the chance.

Hello to everyone who was there including Jinja, Sara, Street Pete, Del, Andy D, Paul, Little Bitch, The Dude and Emma, Rich (who came all the way from Darlington to see the band), Will, Kev (who may be having his first visit to the site today) and all the people with dreadlocks.

Here is a video of Jesse Green back in the day.

Nevermind - He's all grown up

This makes me feel old. This is the guy who was the baby on the original Nevermind album cover by Nirvana. Looks like they recreated it recently. Cheers to Will for sending it to me.

The bloke (who used to be the baby on the front cover) is Spencer Eldon. He was four months old when the picture was shot in late 1991.

Anyone else feel old?

Alexander Supertramp returns

I made it back from the wild and I've never seen rain like it. Heading up on the Saturday morning with Will and Jinja was like the beginning of a horror movie as the rain fell. Walking through the woods in the rain was a mixture of The Road, The Blair Witch Project and Dog Soldiers. We met up with the others who had already set up camp. We then ate, drank and sheltered from the rain. At about 5am on the Sunday the rain stopped.

All in all though it was a brilliant weekend and I did enjoy every minute of it. Next time I just hope it doesn't rain quite as much. Hope you all had a good weekend.
