Friday night

First time to see my old friend Dom in many a moon (could be something approaching two years? sheesh). Dom’s attained the dizzying heights of senior lecturer at Sussex University – no reading irony in that statement, only admiration: his profile is verging on scary – see it here (worth ignoring those pursed lips though, bless). Great to see him. We went on to my friend Tony’s son’s first big gig at the remarkably trendy St Aloysius social centre off the Euston Road. Louis – Tony’s son – is only 14, but he can play a fine solo. He’s got the commitment too. Impressive. First pint of alcohol I think in months too. Lord, lord.
