With the blog hitting over 50,000 views and 199 posts so far, a milestone 200^th post comes from a piece in local newspaper The Shields Gazette. Journalist Peter French writes on his page about the post of 14^th January 2019 where I featured the music scene in South Shields during the 90s.

Thanks to all readers of the blog so far I’m looking forward to adding more interviews  including former Tygers of Pan Tang vocalist Jon Deverill, Burnley blues/rock band Cloverhill and a feature on the issue of instruments damaged on airlines with UK Subs guitarist Steve Straughan.
