Thought so. I was talking to Dave afterwards and thought you were there, but I think you went before I could say hello!

The Boy, who hasn't watched rugby with me for a fair few years, shouted "Come on George!" when that goal went in.

Someone on 6music had an interview with their niece (?) recently, but I can't find it on iPlayer. I thought it was Jamz, but no sign.

I really like it. It's the only thing I have of theirs though, so I don't have anything to compare it to.

Wonderful Welsh harpist. She turns up fairly often around here, but I didn't know her either until I picked up those two, and now I always look out for her stuff.

Yep, is have had all of those. Those two Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita ones are glorious, Clychau Dibon especially.

There you go, I didn't know that. Now that's cleared up we can both enjoy our weekends. 😁

This is very confusing, but knowing me it's my fault. You said you loved Bedsit Disco Queen, and that's her autobiography πŸ€”

Oh, I thought that was what you meant when you said you needed to read it.

Oh yes, loved that.

You need to read the McCartney one? I'll send it along when I've finished it if you like.

Finished the Tracey Thorn autobiography today, and it's influenced what I've listened to this week. #WhatIPlayedHashtag

Karl Wallinger was from about five miles from here, and this cover makes me happy.

We have Heart 80s as a preset station in the car, and you can pretty much guarantee that you'll hear Madonna within twenty minutes of tuning in. It could be any one of a dozen songs though, so the split vote could well be the case.

MrsJ just walked in the room and asked "Why is Glen Medeiros on the TV?"

Of course she actually first said Antonio Banderas.

Yeah, Dutch. Plays perfectly reasonably considering how it looked before I cleaned it.

Yesterday I picked up this sleeveless copy of Too Much Pressure by The Selecter for pennies and it's had me in a related groove of charity shop records all day. #WhatIPlayedHashtag
