If you rocked up to Downes' last night you may well have thought you landed into a Partridge clan gathering. A big shout out to Matt and Michael for their superlative sets. The lads are unrelated, although they're open to offers from the BBC to participate in 'Who Do You Think You Are?'

Scoot over on the Green Room sofa. We're delighted to announce that Michael Partridge has been added to the lineup for this month's #VinylFriday. Looks like we have ourselves a brace of Partridges and a pair of wise owls 🦉🦉😄

Good things come in threes, and on this occasion, three is definitely the magic number. We're proud to host a triumvirate of vinyl spinners on #VinylFriday that ooze class, experience and that certain je ne sais quoi when it comes to picking the perfect tune to match the moment.

It's our 30th wedding anniversary this weekend, so today's #VinylFriday will be a stroll down the shared musical history between my wife (we'll call her Arlene (because that's her name 🤣) and I.
"PHEW! No prog!" I hear you all exclaim. Well... not quite. But mostly not. 🤘🤣🤘

First up is the first musical interaction we had, before we were a couple.
Arlene was given a copy of this album on cassette, but she didn't like that icky metal stuff 🤘🤮🤘 so she sold it to me for $5. #VinylFriday

Most of my teenage listening was metal, but there were a few notable exceptions. This was one of them.
And when I deviated from my "Metal or GTFO" default state, it was almost always bands that we shared a fondness for. #VinylFriday

Now the start of my musical influence. I gave Arlene a tape of this band, which she'd never heard before, and it was love at first listen. 🤘🥰🤘
Her favourite Def Leppard album is Hysteria, but Pyromania is where it all started, so we're going with this. #VinylFriday

This is an album that Arlene loved back in the day. No real surprise, as the accessibility of the hair metal stuff I used to spin gelled with her more than the NWOBHM and speed & thrash metal stuff that also got a lot of airplay on my stereo. #VinylFriday

Last one in our Hair Metal Trilogy.
The opening track, Sleeping My Day Away, used to get thrashed by us back in the day (and I enjoy the rest of the album too). #VinylFriday

This seems like a fitting one to close with, and not just because of the similar cover art.
Yes, it's prog. But its one of the few prog artists my wife actually loves and willingly cues up. Prog for prog haters, as it were. #VinylFriday

No theme for #VinylFriday today. Just good tunes.
First up the latest Lonely Robot album that has been dominating a lot of my listening since its release.
This one's not on Spotify, but you could always support John by purchasing a digital copy from Bandcamp, magenta.bandcamp.com/album/an-end...

With the new Steven Wilson album just around the corner, it's time to revisit one of his many collaborations. It's not my favourite Blackfield album, but it's the one I have. 🤷♂️ #VinylFriday
