A Post-Brexit Vision revisited

Posted in Uncategorized on 31/01/2020| Leave a Comment »

A new link to my 2018 article”A Post-Brexit Britain.”It was desiged to be satirical, so satirical that I even envisaged Boris Johnston as Prime Minister. No, I thought then, that’s TOO silly I used my collection of vintage school posters.

Judy Collins – review 2020

Posted in Uncategorized on 20/01/2020| Leave a Comment »

Judy Collins reviewed at the Tivoli, Wimborne (FOLLOW LINK). Not many shows start at 5 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. It was supposed to be the “Winter Stories” album tour with the great Norwegian folk singer, Jonas Fjeld. He had to drop out because of family illness, which disappointed me … they work so well together on the album. But a Judy Collins show is always superb, and at 79 she still has that magic voice.

1917- review

Review of Sam Mendes’ 1917 (follow link). Golden Globes for best film and best director. I thought George MacKay deserved best actor, but wasn’t nominated. The awards are deserved. Don’t wait for DVD or Netflix – this needs to beseen on as big a screen as you can find.
