    Isn`t she hot !! What a lucky guy Darrell Higham is. Darrell and the Enforcers have taken a break for a couple of years while Darrell concentrates on travelling the country playing guitar for his gorgeous wife Imelda May, and he`s just loving it. Says she`s doing real good. Maybe they can visit us in Oz sometime. Loved catching Darrell at Wintersun and Perth.

    If they do, don't miss it - Off to see her again in July at a Festival in Nottingham with the Pogues - Ireland's finest all in one line up! She said at the gig they had just finished recording the new album, watch this space......

    New CD is now out over here, topped the charts in Ireland. Bought it today but not played it yet - still working my way through the excellent Records CD that arrived yesterday!

    Finished listening to it now and she just goes from strength to strength, some amazing stuff on there and the actual quality of the recordings have ramped up again, Decca have done her justice, can't recommend it enough - called Mayhem.

    OK, to use Rugby terminology Pogues are technically London Irish, so not Ireland's finest at all I conceed.....
    Punk? certainly Shane has his roots in Punk and they came in as part of the Cow Punk boom of the mid eighties but I think they were lumped in with them because there wasn't a convenient pidgeon hole to put them in at the time. Definitely outlived the likes of lash lariot and the longriders, Boothill Foottappers etc......
    Crap? Each to their own. Every type of music and generation is influenced by what came before. Early Elvis sums it up perfectly. I'm part of the post-punk generation - I like authentic stuff and I like modern stuff, punk tinged and all. Don't expect anyone to share my musical tastes or even like it, only to respect that's my choice to make. To quote another purveyer of 'punk crap' - you've got your good thing, and I've got mine......

    I don't think i've ever seen Imelda May play what you'd call a rockin' venue around here but I'm sure she must. for the most part they are venues that draw a mixed bunch from the rockin' scene and the Jools Holland crowd, she reminds the masses that there is still a rockin' scene out there but she's not bound by it.

    Incidently, for any folks not going out (or it may even be New years day by then for you guys) Jools Holland's Hootenany on BBC2 New years eve has Wanda Jackson on it. Don't know what access to Aunty Beeb is like out there.....

    Anyway, Vive le difference and have a Happy New Year
