Don't you wish you could bottle some of life's better moments? 'All Men Are Hungry', played last night at The Apex . . . a few blissful moments of escapism from the pre-Christmas scrummage. Like a sweet summer breeze. Wonderful. I'd bottle that if I could.

A treat to hear 'Muriel the Actor' live as well. A first for me.

Steve mentioned the Birmingham extravaganza last night, and the enormity of it all started to sink in. Two great albums played in their entirety . . . in a handsome arena . . . Death Trip with full orchestra backing . . .

Might need a bigger bottle!
