Back in the Saddle
11th June 2025 Steven Tyler from Aerosmith famously informed us that he was back in the saddle again, in fact in that tune released in 1976 he mentioned it more than once. Lo and behold here I am, back in the saddle for the second (could have been the third if it wasn’t for that...
The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner
16th June 2025 Strange one this. We are so used to tours where you may have five or six show days and then have a day off, but this tour, as a support band, we are playing two shows on and then we have a day off. Basically there is much time to fill. This...
Ascension Attention
19th June 2025 I don't listen to a lot of new music. I always have an upcoming project to learn and I take it very seriously. It could be Kill II This, Ard, Plague Of Angels or of course most recently Paradise Lost which takes up my playlist constantly so there isn't much else to...
Men Only Think About One Thing!
25th June 2025 I am past 50 years old. I am a child of the 1970s and I don't generally care what people think. I am not very PC or woke and my mouth has got me in a lot of trouble over the years. So, I am just going to say it. We had...
My Oasis
6th July 2025 For years people said it would never happen. The chat boards would be full of rumours and theories. Would it ever actually be possible to get them on stage together again? Hopes would be raised before being cruelly crushed and it seemed that the two ships may have sailed off again in...
Long Live The King
11th July 2025 Heavy metal is the best music to be in to. The genre and the bands in this genre, and those surrounding the genre, have helped to formulate and mould my life, the direction of my life and the lives of the majority of my friends. Metal is a badge of honour. To...
The Prince Of Darkness
01st August 2025 And just like that the lights went out. When I heard the news about Ozzy initially I felt no shock, it was really expected, but as the night wore on and the out pouring of true grief flooded the internet I reflected on just how John Osbourne has affected my life and...
No More ‘Fs’ To Give!
18th August 2025 I am in the middle of a WhatsApp conversation with Nick as we discuss the very complicated weekend we have just been through. The travelling is hard and I know the band are tired. I jumped on the tour at the start of June but remember the rest of the guys have...
Jeff’s Q&A
dark_harvest__ Asks: What's your favourite memory from this tour? Jeff Answers: Hi - I have so many great memories from this tour. People and bands I have met, places I have been. Everything is a memory, but being back on stage in Berlin was very special, looking out over the sheer enormity of Pol and...
