Happy Holidays to the thinly-populated but nevertheless beloved pub. I do tend to bang on about David Devant here, but I found an interview in which Vessel has a kind word for the Guv:
"Well before Rhythm King there was Humbug records. They released “Pimlico”. They were a visionary record label and home to the brilliant Martin Newell (of junk shop glam heroes Plod, amongst others) and various other eccentrics like us. They wrote us a four page love letter to entice us into signing."
Seems like a good time to revisit this lovely appreciation of Martin, if only to hear the vocal stylings of J.C. Clarke...

Garry mimble, Ted, Joe, David, Robin, and anyone else who's still loitering in darkened corners of the pub. Now, what's in the "Seasoned bleatings" daily special… spiced lamb? I'll have that, and a round of cheap old cherry wine for the house.

A very Merry Chrimble and a Gear New Year to my fellow ghosts here in this empty pub which was once filled w/laughter and good cheer. Do you remember the advent calendar that we put together every year at this time? Now this place is like a Route 66 attraction that has been bypassed by the digital Interstate Highway of Facebook. Oh well, Martin’s doing OK and we have our memories.

Julie and I bid you all a happy and healthy New Year! I found this delightful holiday song from Nick Frater. It tells of a COVID-cancelled 2020 Christmas but the brilliant video is pure 1973 Wizzard. Christmas in Superbia!
