His original plans of a year out were foiled by Derby University when they changed their Conditional offer to Unconditional. The offer turned out to be for this year though, so we have a few weeks to go from a relaxed ‘we have a year to sort this all out’ to being ready to go!

He’s applied for his room in Halls and his student loan. Today he’s sorting out which computer to take. It looks like we may loose the Eee Box.

Mike from their band is clearly and understandably in two minds. First and foremost  he is genuinely pleased for Steven, but with lots of bookings looming he’s also wondering how to keep the band going. Anyone know a good Bass player available for the odd gig?

The lack of notice forced upon us is not good, but such is life. Looks like I’ll be driving the 280 miles round trip a few times in the future.

Marillion are working on a new acoustic album. And watching the episodes of Racket TV, it’s going to be great. The snippets of the reworking of a favourite of mine, Quartz, are sounding stunning.

Quoting from their website…

This Album will be made up of new acoustic arrangements of songs from our vast back-catalogue of music All five members of the band are looking forward to this chance to showcase the essence of our songs in this alternative, intimate and exciting format.

Tumble Down The Years is featured in one of the TV episodes. That’s a song that’s passed me by. Lyrically it strikes a cord with me. Kaz and I are certainly tumbling down the years and damn the river.

Now, where are they playing this Less is More tour? We have to be there.
