Well! Christmas is nearly upon us, although here in Oz with summer only a few weeks away, it’s not the same for Mick, having fond memories of time spent in the UK with family & friends. You can call him a humbug, but there’s always some musician or label in our genre who must bring out a yuletide record, for him it just doesn’t work.

Quite the opposite from all this heat here, Sydney has had a months rain in 2 hours, extensive flooding, powerlines down & severe disruption to transport, this is not the norm this time of year for...
