The thing is most old Punk bands which used to play to the kids....those kids are now middle aged and have disposable income, so many bands have reformed and play live to them and their kids. I have heard it's very hard to make money out of recorded music unless you are Taylor Swift or had a huge hit. The Stones realised years ago live music and merchandise was the earner. |

Can I add the late great Sandy Denny and pick up an album by Americana artist Lucinda Williams. |

Well said mate. People don't look outside the mainstream. So many good artists out there. I remember in the 70s listening to John Peel and looking for something different, or new. Still talented people out there but the system wants you to listen to total commercial cack! |

Dont agree with you often mate but spot on. Female artists of real class . Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, Ella Fitzgerald , Nina Simone Sandy Shaw, Petula Clarke. Loads of others too. Modern divas/ music sucks! |

Win the middle class vote win the election. By middle class I mean what used to be working class. Job, mortgage season ticket holder, holidays abroad, posh meals etc. That's what Blair did and now Starmer will do. Sorry but the lefties won't have a say any longer. |

So if it's over by September I presume you will be happy with the result? |

If you get to your nineties invariably you will become a burden and need some sort of support. You can go downhill fast. Up until 5 months ago they were pretty much independent. As I said they had their last cruise and it will be their last in September. |

and that's the important thing we are keeping them where at present they want to be. Until the time comes where maybe they lose corpus mentis and they are a danger to themselves or each other, we will obviously have to rethink! It's been quite cathartic writing these posts and important that we discuss life changes rather than bottle them up. |

Thanks We are just playing it day by day and doing the best for them. We had a bad day Monday. My sister had to clean my father up Not nice. However he's been a great parent as was my late mother. Always loved to see people succeed and do well for themselves. We realize 91 is hell of an age for a man and on the whole he's had decent health. |

They go in four times a day. It's government funded you need to apply. It costs about £100 a week. When we were waiting we had to have private carers. If I remember rightly it was about £3000 a month!! |
