Girl Power 2026, SIX The Musical and “2 Become 1”
Well, we are now at week 42 on the 2026 calendar and it’s fair to say the UK Singles Chart has been quite unique this year. I have been updating my followers whenever there has been a change at the top, a new No. 1, but for 23 of those 42 weeks it remained the … Continue reading "Girl Power 2026,...

The Take That Circus Tour 2026 Comes To Glasgow and I Was There!
WIAA: Alyson…, I didn’t see you posting anything new around here last weekend. Not like you. ALYSON: I know WIAA but I was having one of the best weekends of my life and it’s taken quite a few days to come down from the high. WIAA: Ah, that would be because of the football I … Continue reading…

Advice That Still Holds Up? Baz Luhrmann and “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)”
Baz Luhrmann has been doing the rounds this week appearing on the various chat show sofas promoting his latest film, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. I love Baz Luhrmann films and have written about three around here, most recently the Elvis biopic, filmed in his usual sumptuous style. The new…

“It Only Takes A Minute”, Take That and A Surfeit Of Tickets
A shorter post from me today as it’s the last day of the month and we haven’t yet made use of our National Trust for Scotland membership cards, received from DD as a Christmas present. Most castles and stately homes stay closed until April but the Culloden Battlefield Visitor Centre near us is...

An American Odyssey in Song: Maryland and “Moonlight Feels Right”
Welcome to this occasional series where I am attempting a virtual journey around the 50 States of America in song. For anyone new to this place, I have a continuous route map where I enter and leave each state only once. Suggestions for the next leg always welcome! Well, I’ve been stuck in…

“I’ll… I’ll See What I Can Do” – Jarvis Still On Top Form At Glastonbury
We’ve not been having a heatwave up here in the North of Scotland which is fine by me because I’m a fair-skinned, fair-haired person who doesn’t do well in such conditions. It seems of late however the south of the country has been sweltering which is not too great for those playing at, and...

Barbra and Whitney: Two Ladies With Big, Big Voices
When I wrote about the death of Kris Kristofferson recently, I mentioned that I would seek out the film A Star Is Born to watch over the weekend. This of course was the 1976 version he starred in with Barbra Streisand, and sure enough, there it was on one of the many streaming platforms. I …...

Another Bloggers Summit, The Delights of Newcastle and “Ain’t No Doubt”
After a particularly good trip away it sometimes takes a while to reacclimatise to normal life, and that’s how I’ve felt since last Thursday after returning from the latest meet-up with some of my fellow bloggers. It took myself and my good friend C (from Sun Dried Sparrows) some time to bite the...

A Wedding Unavoidably Missed, Elvis Presley and ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’
Last time I told the story of what’s been happening in my world over the last five months, when I’ve been absent from these pages. That’s been done now and glad I went there rather than leave it a mystery. What I didn’t say however was that my only child, a daughter known around here … Continue...

St Patrick’s Day, Red Nose Day and an Irish Band Trigger Warning
I’m going to be really controversial around here today but here we go. It’s been obvious since joining the music blogging community that there are some artists and bands best avoided if you don’t want negative comments coming your way. Yesterday however, because it was St Patrick’s Day, I thought...

Thanks Burt, for the Memories, and for Creating Your Unique “Sound” – RIP Mr Bacharach
Author: AlysonWhenever I hear an old song on the radio, I am immediately transported back to those days. I know I’m not alone here and want to record those memories for myself and for the people in them. 57 years ago, the song “Alfie” was written by my favourite songwriting team, Bacharach and...
