Our expedition around the Agulhas coastline passed off without incident.
My smart idea to dress Alex in brightly coloured clothes (yes, that’s an old Sheffield United away kit) meant that he was easy to pick out amongst the crowds and comprehensively failed to get lost.
Great parenting.
Well done, Dad.
Sheffieldblog is reightly (sic) very excited at the news that a copy of Speedy’s debut album News from Nowhere has “been found” and is going to be released online later this month.
Speedy’s only notable release was 1996’s “Boy Wonder” a brilliant tune which came right at the height of Britpop. But while Supergrass, Ocean Colour Scene, Pulp, Dodgy and Shed Seven were banging out hit after hit, Speedy sadly disappeared quickly from earshot. The single never charted, but did feature on one of the Shine compilation albums – the Indie equivalent of the Now series.
Full of fun, full of energy, taking me – *weep* – 16 (sixteen) years back.
Anyway, while I’m wondering where my life went, here’s the heads up on the album streaming etc.
