Finding her voice again – the Sam Brown interview

Glenn Tilbrook / Charlie Austen – Clitheroe, The Grand
With the A59 submerged in places that afternoon, there was a worry that we might not even reach Clitheroe on Saturday night. But if Glenn Tilbrook could get across from a Newcastle Opera House date with Wilko Johnson in that … Continue reading
Wilko Johnson / Glenn Tilbrook – Warrington Parr Hall
Some 15 months after my last visit to the Parr Hall, and 25 years after a brief stint working in this North West town, I was back in Warrington for a night of quality musicianship and maximum R&B. Last time … Continue reading

Into 2016 … and 103,000 hits can’t be bad
As the hands reached midnight on New Year’s Eve, the minions behind the scenes at writewyattuk.com polished off the last of the Irish cream (explaining at least one of those empty bottles that next morning) and got to work on … Continue reading
