My brother did his nurses training at St James hospital in Leeds and I used to hitch up there quite a bit from London, in times of desperate poverty due to excessive drunkenness. I used to wander around Leeds with "Metal Fatigue" & "Sand" on the old Walkman, trying to work out how on earth I was going to be Allan Holdsworth. Not an easy task I can tell you. But it certainly is strange going back to a place you haven't been to for a while to get a measure of how much time can change you. One thing has stayed the same though, and that is I still think Allan H is an inspiration and a genius. And yes I know, he's really from Bradford, but I hope you get the gist!!

Yorkshire
I got home last night from my first ever venture into the Yorkshire live music scene. I had a great time at all gigs and will be looking forward to returning there soon. Which at the moment is as soon as next weekend for the Leeds Beer/Blues festival at the Fox and Newt, Burley Street, on Sunday April 8th (acoustic) and Monday April 9th (band).
