Monsoon M6

The weather is at best a depressing subject especially when it’s a nice day and everyone mentions it, but really tonight was a bit special. We left The Mailbox around 1.30am after a pleasing session for Janis Longs bbc radio 2 show where we had the benefits of a great sound engineer as well as the luxury of individual mixes and enjoyed a light of heart deep of soul chin wag with Janis who must rank as one of the worlds warmest human beings to be working in one of the world’s coldest of industries. Apologies for my lapse into media cynicism …it’s a bad habit of mine that sort of comes with the territory. Janis was very sweet and reminded us that Vinny Peculiar is not heard on the radio as often as should be. Naturally I agreed and mumbled some kind of whys and wherefores that seemed to make perfect sense at the time. Now I am curious to hear it again so will be accessing the listen again feature once I’ve woken up. Go ahead and have a listen if you get the chance. The journey home was truly awful, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a wild rain storm, at one point there was simply no visibility. It was as if we were underwater. The M6 can be a scary drive at the best of times but this was fearsome. We are humbly grateful to Bonehead for driving. We play Brixton tomorrow, VPx
