New Year not resolved

from Whisky, Words and Wine · host gvfryer

Why is Jan 1st the start of the year? Why wasn't Xmas Day a holiday in Scotland? Why is Graham drinking whisky? Jack has his band (Electric Avenue) but why should everyone also see "My Brothers Band"? Why did the bus get lost? What is so exciting about books about maps? What were Jack and Graham's New Year resolutions? These and many more questions will probably not be satisfactorily answered but we had fun trying...... Films: "Lost Bus", "Breakdown 1975", "Nuremberg", "My Brother's Band", "Now You See Me" Books: "What we can know" Ian McEwan; "The Proving Ground" Michael Connolly; "Churchills History of Ungentlemanly Warfare" Giles Milton; The Great Zoo of China" Matthew Riley Upcoming Concerts: Electric Avenue @ Mosman Whalers (or is it Mosman Wailers?); Ludovico Einaudi - Sydney; Anna Lapwood, Organist, Sydney and Melbourne
