The Orangery Holland Park

John and Jenny got married yesterday afternoon in Holland Park. Oh happy day indeed....

Suf Folk

Eschewing the closing parties on party island Dailytitlow and I headed to East Anglia for annual Halesworth weekend. Much brown booze and buzzing about the countryside Lovejoy style in that heap of rust and rattles of a death trap that is the 1971 Triumph Spitfire ensued. It is possible that the elderly gentleman who walked into the Cross Keys in Aldeburgh on Sunday lunchtime was in fact General Chuck Yeager (the first man to break the sound barrier who flew out of nearby Leiston during the war) but this has yet to be confirmed....

Interpol NY / Sea Of Bees CA

The almighty INTERPOL played Heaven the other night and SEA OF BEES played The Social. The Ricoh GR3 is tricksy and the AF sucks. Need to take the Leica out again more.

No-Ho 4-0

I turned 40 on Monday and there was a party at the bar. I had the best birthday of my ever extending life and thank you for all your messages, presents, love, playing records and attendance. Also I am sorry to my fellow diarists for stealing a couple of shots for this post because mine were mostly awful. I have my own plaque at the bar now thanks to my best unbeaten brothers Danny and Carl. My very special love and thanks goes out to the love of my life Lady Claire Kleines Kilcourse as always.

When Hip Hop Saturday comes...

Happy birthday Dailytitlow

The Cold Black Heart Of Marble Arch

Screening of 'Afghanistan In The U.K' at The Frontline club. It was good to meet Stuart and Private Dare. Friday night at the bar. A Carl impersonator was haunting downstairs. Flat is full of Moths - autumn is here..Chemical Ali is my favorite pharmacist..

Dreading Festival 2010

Down the M4 corridor to the Reading festival intending to sit a field while smoking and complaining. Ended up having an amazing time thanks to Weezer (Surfwax America was the highlight of the festival season and we went metal watching it with We Are Scientists) and the higher, faster, longer, louder Klaxons! Sea is foaming like a bottle of beer etc etc
