Not seen maestro Schenker since 1982! Used to worship him.

Going to book for the London gig at end of May - thanks for the heads up ...

His recent double live CD Temple of Rock Live in Europe is one of the best live metal albums I've ever heard. Michael is in top form and does some UFO songs and Scorpions songs ..well worth checking out.

Come on, it'll give me something to wind the Mrs up with

Well for me the artists than have really got my juices flowing on this latest tour are Teddy Thompson, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Eric Bibb. I have seen them all individually, but never together and throw Jerry Douglas into the mix and my head starts to spin, he's an absolute genius on the dobro.

I also have my favourite seat in the Festival Hall - note, not my favourite area, but my favourite seat . . . I can't wait

Tina Dico - Union Chapel Islington - Saturday 23rd March 2013

A bunch of us are going to see the Goddess that is Tina Dico in London next month, and it promises to be an unmissable experience. Well, except for my wife that is, because unfortunately, we've lost our babysitter for the evening, so she has kindly volunteered to stay at home whilst I go and enjoy myself (though I expect that means it will cost me in other ways, of course...)

Anyway, her misfortune could be your good fortune - I therefore have a spare ticket for the evening - due to the way ticketing works at the venue you'll have to come in with me, but as we'll all be meeting up beforehand you'll be quite safe!

I'm not worried about the cost of the ticket, just don't want to see it wasted - so PM me if you're interested - rather than first come first served, we'll make it a prize draw, to keep it fair for everyone.

I'm looking forward to it too, Alex. Pot luck on who accompanies us, eh?
We must organise where we're going to eat soon. Tim probably knows the area?

Tina Dico ticket now accounted for, as zero interest from here - I registered at rent-a-friend.com so I've now got a mate for that weekend who will chaperone me...
