Now Listening To ...


A House Is Not A Motel.

The original appeared on the 1967 album, Forever Changes, by the American psychedelic rock band, Love. This version is from the Truth Decay album by Adam Holzman, and it's rather good!

The Lift


Doncaster is a large, and very ordinary British town. It's not at all exciting. But this little entertainment troupe managed to inject a little fun into the shopping streets back in 2017.

2017-05-13 - The Lift


I was in Doncaster on 13th May 2017 and on my way back to the station when I chanced upon this peculiar but amusing piece of street entertainment. Performed by a recently disbanded group called Wet Picnic, "The Lift" had three bellhops and this big lift prop... people would pick a floor and trigger a particular show. I shot 20 minutes of this as it was pretty funny and almost missed my train. Later I discovered someone had posted a snippet from this very performance on social media and have spliced in bits of that to give a rare "multi-angle" sequence near the end of this extract. Good fun... I really enjoyed watching this.
