My best music of 2017 playlist
It has become my habit that at the end of each year to put together a “best of” playlist of the music that I have been listening to, or has meant something, that year. Again I’ve used the music streaming service Spotify to pull together the playlist. So if you’d like to listen to it here is the full playlist of about nine and a half hours of my best tracks of 2017. You can also read my ‘best…

40 Watt Playlist
Earlier this month my good friend Lucy Watt asked me to play some tunes at her 40th birthday party. The timings of the evening (and because lots of people were lightweights and left before 12) meant I didn’t really get to play what I’d prepared. But rather than it going to waste, I have put together a Spotify playlist:

Again I’ve used the music…

It was a very hot and sunny day so afterwards we cooled off with…

Thoughts on the 2017 General Election
Over the last few weeks I found myself, rather unexpectedly, fulfilling the role of General Election candidate for the Liberal Democrats in the constituency of Luton South. I was initially reluctant to do this, mostly for reasons of personal circumstance and the fact that I have become a bit distant from partisan politics, but after some internal debate I decided that I had to stand up and be counted. In the end it has actually…

Election photo
One consequence of standing in the General Election is that people have been taking photos of me — with resulting clashes with my vanity — but I do like this one of me with my friend, and fellow candidate for Luton North, Rabi Martins.
