Clough - tonight ITV1, 10.35pm


Speaking of Forest, after the unmitigated bollocks that is The Damned United, it's nice to get a balanced view of the man who was God, Mr Brian Clough OBE.

The glory day's when Old Big 'Ead and Saint Peter (Taylor) ruled the world are sadly long gone now, but hopefully this documentary will bring back the memories of arguably the greatest football manager the world has ever seen.

In addition walking on the Trent and being able to turn water into Shipstones, Cloughie had the ability to take an average player and make him good, a good player and make him great and a great player...wow!!!

So do yourself a favour, tune in to ITV1 tonight at 10:35 and witness the story of a legend. It's the greatest story ever told.

Come on you Reds !!!

It always amazes me that people can always focus on the negative side of anything or anyone. I agree George that its about time we had focus on the good things the man brought rather than a small part of the mans past.....

Summer Love - The Narcotic Daffodils 🌞❤

1.  Summer Love 2. Naturally High 3.  Guardians 4. Hypnotized 5. You can't get 6. Bruxelles 7.  Atomic 53 It's been three years since the band's last album, Cellex, was released, and there have been a number of personnel changes since then, with Luna taking up vocal duties, Arne the drums and Maria the Guitar. I remember hearing Maria playing with an all-girl band many years ago and they blew me away, so the prospect of her joining the Narcotic Daffodils  was exciting. As before, the bass is supplied by the inimitable Flupke with Simon providing Sitar and keyboard licks on the Hammond. 1. Summer Love Any fears that the new lineup have lost the spirit of the old are quickly dispelled by the opening and title track of the album, Summer Love. Gilly Smythe, Gong # style, whisper-voices draw you in before Flupke's bass kicks in with the Hammond, underpinning, proceedings. The song ends with a melange of Sitar and synth, underlining the fact that the Nar

Daffodils & Crêpes

Image
I wandered lonely as a cloud, That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crepe eating crowd, A host, of narcotic daffodils. L'amuse Gueule crêperie, a strange venue for music, but in psychedelia strange is good. The last pancakes were munched, the diners departed and the strains of a sitar filled the air. Cue guitar, bass & drums and some hypnotic, pulsating music from The Narcotic Daffodils . At times reminiscent of Hawkwind in their prime, the band produced a wall of sound that had me in head banging heaven. They did however vary their sound quite a bit, with two covers thrown into the mix for good measure. Personally I'd like to hear them do more psychedelic material, but speaking to keyboardist and Sitar maestro Simon Rigot after the show, they want to keep their music varied. But hey, a heady cocktail of rock and mind expanding melodies is OK by me. I'd also like to hear more Sitar, but as Simon also plays keyboards that would be a tad
