My Joseph Jacket

When I was a young man I bought a many coloured jacket made by Grafton-Manquest from a shop in Newport called Clobber.

I saw Pete townshend wearing one once. I also bumped into a girl wearing trousers made from the same amterial on one occasion.

I loved that jacket and have kept it ever since, always hoping that some else could enjoy it as much as I did.

Well, here is one of my sons doing just that the other night at a school bands evening.

More on his singing career on his blog here.

Henry Who?

Radio 4 had a nice documentary on Purcell's influence over Pete Townshend recently. You can catch it here for the next 6 days.

Let my love open the door

This is a very nice acoustic song. It sounds like a straight love song but Townshend is a follower of Meher Baba and it may be a religious song.
