Album in support of Ukranian children. The curator of the collection is the legendary Russian musician and poet Boris Grebenshchikov who was supported in this project by his friends and colleagues like Dave Stewart (The Eurythmics), Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Marianne Faithful, Marc Almond, Richard Thompson, Jackson Browne, The Waterboys, Clannad, Crowded House and others. All proceeds from the sales and streaming of the compilation will go to Kyiv’s specialized children's hospital "Ohmatdyt". The compilation features the Richard Thompson song: "Lament For Mariupol" that he wrote for this album.
McCartney's set list from the Adelaide gig last night. Thirty nine songs over nigh on three hours. He comes to town on Saturday night..
One of the better albums released this year. Probably just behind Boygenius and Mitski's album for me.
I love this song so much such a handsome man, with a story to tell (even if she was a daughter…) I have a son, and this is my song to him
These Days by the Foo Fighters, which they've brought back into their live set for this Australian tour (for obvious reasons when you listen to the lyrics). Taken from the 2011 long player, Wasting Light.

BBC4 / iPlayer Rock goes to College featuring The Specials Live at Colchester Institute in 1979 in front of around 200 people , 45 mins of scintillating energy & quality stuff .
It's bonkers how time flies . We have a decent Specials covers band called The Gangsters in P'boro , pretty sure some of their stuff will be on you tube & my last visit to Strawberry Fayre saw in The Portland Tent a local Cambridge ska band doing Madness covers who were very good but can't remember their name .
