Ordered down from the Gumtree

So here we go again. It's cold - as usual this time of year. No one's got any money - as usual this time of year; though this year there's the fear and anxiety about losing jobs, homes, pensions, money invested, and more High Street retail favourites. When my daughter loses her scarf and gloves, as she did today, I'd normally pop down Woolies and by another for 4 quid or something. Hey-ho.

Hey-ho, let's go. We need hope. We need optimism. We don't need money. We don't need things to own. We need things to do. Things to cheer us up that have real value. Like experiences. Memories. Music. I know, let's start a club. And let's make it our own. Let's give mature music fans, musicians and bands an outlet. Let's hear some of this new music being made by older rock musicians. Let's give older musicians looking to meet others in their age-group a chance to do so. Let's give those with responsibilites and commitments a regular time and place to get out and talk music. Hear music. Watch music. Play music. Let's call it ROCK-TIL-YOU-DROP.

So the good people at Bugbear, who promote gigs at the Dublin Castle have offered me the opportunity to do just that. I will keep you posted.

In other news: I have been banned from posting ads for the website on Gumtree. Apparently, I'm not allowed to post duplicate ads to different gumtree sites. This is a pisser.
