I am playing with my confederate Darren in this concert tonight:

We are the last act on the bill (name dreamt up at short notice). Should be fun, title of the concert notwithstanding. We'll be digging out three numbers from our Beijing back catalogue, and adding a new thing that I half wrote a couple of years ago but only really finished in rehearsals last week - took about 5 minutes to get the arrangment, so that was a decent bit of work.
And of course we'll be padding things out with a couple of covers. Two Nick Cave songs, in this case, "Red Right Hand" and "The Mercy Seat".

Another 1st of October holiday, another edition of the Anfield 12th Cup.
Last year we won it but this year came out second best to the Liverpool supporters' team.

We beat the Chelsea and South China teams 1-0 (goal against Chelsea pictured above), but drew 0-0 with Liverpool.
They won the shoot-out, so got 2 points where we got 1.

Still, a fun day out on a ridiculously muddy pitch.
