I'm aware I've been a bit slack at posting in the last few months. Life gets in the way of these things from time to time.... I doubt I'll be posting anywhere near as much as I used to, but will try and drop up some bits on a (slightly) more regular basis. If anybody wants to contribute any records to the blog feel free to drop me a line. I've been somewhat immersed in music of Cornwall of late, partly...

Break cakes John Harland introduced me to a well-known term among British and Australian seafarers: tabnabs . They are snacks such as cakes or fancy biscuits that are served during morning or afternoon tea breaks among seafarers and crews of North Sea oil rigs. Nobody seems to know where the term comes from. All I have learned is that the Oxford English Dictionary records it from the 1930s and that...

Today there was a memorial service to commemorate the end of the Iraq war and also the 179 lives of those servicemen and women who lost their lives, at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Unfortunately the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams decided he would use this service and his sermon to criticise both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown and the decision to go to war. Now don't get me wrong, like thousands...
