Roger Taylor was on fine form at Usher Hall, Edinburgh last night. Not so much heavy duty drumming now, but still a joy to see him at the kit. His voice remains as varied and exciting as always. Onwards to the Roundhouse!

It's been eye-opening, revealing and entirely uncelebrated! The good folk of Stone Town had no knowledge of today's significance. Nor did... The Freddie Mercury Museum. I had to tell them! Kinda made it more personal. No crowds.... @oiqfc.bsky.social

A break from Bang! this week, as we continue to "practise" our darts skills. The tops are in. Aren't they ghastly? On mine, the numbers are in the wrong order.
Do support if you can....

Saddened to hear the news that Barry Mitchell, bassist for a little known developing band named Queen, has passed away. He joined in 1970 and left in early 1971. John joined a couple of months later. He most definitely played his part. RIP Barry

Happy b-day from the Bang! chaps and all of your nuclear family. Be joyous in your spinning this evening.
Another happy birthday to Isaac Hayes (RIP) and me (not dead yet). #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

To these ears, one of Deacon's finest.
Freddie on piano & falsetto, everything else by John, some gorgeous slap bass and Nile Rodgers-like guitar.
The demo with Bowie on backing vocals is on YT.
