With Dave Chilton (Kryston) and Gary Knowles on the stand next door the insults were always going to be be flying thick and fast. But I guess what [...]

Some Like It Hot… Work on the next volume of Barbel Days And Ways continues apace and the schedule is becoming demanding. It’s also pretty punishing in the heat. Stu and I slipped down to the Welsh borders hoping to fill our boots on the Wye but to say the conditions were against us would [...]
