RojBlog: Not throwing stones at you anymore
http://butlerellis.blogspot.com/2013/08/not-throwing-stones-at-you-anymore.html
Friday, 2 August 2013. Not throwing stones at you anymore. Monday 29 July 2013. It's been a while since I last went to a gig, and even longer since I blogged. There's no excuse, apart from being just too busy at the moment. So apologies in advance for brevity, errors and omissions but I'll try me best. Tonight we were off Fibbers in York to see Kids In Glass Houses. Hailing from Cardiff their music is somewhat aligned with the likes of Lostprophets. With a sprinkling of You Me At Six. I have to admit tha...

Wednesday, 4 September 2013. Today's outing was to the disused platform area of Bolton Percy Station which, again, is a nature reserve managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. However, I had previously spotted some bracket fungi on the road to Thorp Arch Trading Estate so thought that I might start there and also take in All Saints Church at Thorp Arch before making my way to Bolton Percy.

RojBlog: May 2013
http://butlerellis.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 May 2013. To be perfectly honest, as dyed-in-the-wool Thunder. Fans, we were really only there for the support and they didn't disappoint. Roaring on-stage to the strains of AC/DC. There was no messing about as they launched into a condensed greatest hits lists; Dirty Love, River of Pain, Higher Ground, Low Life in High Places, Backstreet Symphony, The Devil Made Me Do It, Love Walked In, I Love You More Than Rock 'N' Roll. The stage crew were very efficient at removing Thunder. We started off...

RojBlog: December 2013
http://butlerellis.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 19 December 2013. My CD collection has swelled by another 25 albums, but that's nearly half the number from last year. Of those, 14 were released this year, 10 were older, and one was a 2013 re-issue of a 1995 album. My top ten new albums for 2013 were:. Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep. The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories). All Hell Breaks Loose. The World is Yours. Some, well four actually, didn’t get in my top ten. Here they are in no particular order:. A Far Cry From Home.

http://butlerellis.blogspot.com/2013/09/first-direct-arena-leeds.html
Tuesday, 10 September 2013. First Direct Arena, Leeds. Wednesday 4 September 2013. We were fortunate to miss 'The Boss' doing the pre-opening opening of Leeds' latest entertainment venue, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to see the legend that is Elton John. At the proper opening. It was also a chance to check out the acoustics to see if we might want to watch other artists/bands playing here. The show started with 2Cellos. And Smells Like Teen Spirit. And Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long ...

RojBlog: April 2012
http://butlerellis.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 7 April 2012. Cotton Wool and Knotted Wood. It's my birthday and Mrs Woman had got us tickets for one of my favourite bands Hope&Social. Who were playing at The Duchess. Sorry guys. What we did catch seemed pretty good, kind of English folk in the style of The Decemberists as far as I could make out. Their final song, the only one we heard intact, was performed off stage a capella. With muted assistance from James Hamilton on trumpet and Simon Goff on violin. Event at The Crypt in Leeds in Febr...

Friday, 19 December 2014. The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: of shoes, and ships, and sealing-wax, of cabbages, and Kings, and why the sea is boiling hot, and whether we should have a music roundup of 2014." No carpenters in this selection mind. Out of 44 musical purchases this year my pre-2014 acquisitions totalled 22, 19 on CD and 3 on vinyl:. Tales Of Mystery And Imagination. By The Alan Parsons Project. I love the later stuff by The Ataris. All by Porcupine Tree. Anyway, I ...

Wednesday, 4 September 2013. By way of a digression, I 'ave mostly been taking some time off work and taking pictures of stuff. I started out on Friday by visiting Hetchell Woods, a nature reserve managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. It's a mix of woods and grasslands and has Bardsey Beck flowing alongside its edge. There were quite a few dog walkers when I first arrived so initially I just had a preliminary look around. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 7 Ages of Rock. Best Of Inspector Morse.

Wednesday, 2 January 2013. First of all, a Happy New Year to anyone who runs their eyes over this ramshackle collection of scribbling, and I’m truly sorry that I got some catching up to do to bring this blog up-to-date and that some reviews will get short shrift. 8211; and we were at The Duchess to see Aynsley Lister. 8217;s Feeling Good. And for his encore, a superb version of Prince. A very impressive performance and definitely someone that I would like to see again. Not having an album to promote allo...
