Thanks to Steve Hanley on drums, John Dyson on saxophone, Steve Crocker on double bass. This was a Rush Hour Jazz gig last month at SevenArts, Leeds.

They seemed to be having a good time. It’s a good bar.


Trying to see the jazz music I’ve heard recently…


Great jazz in LS7. This is Denys Baptiste on saxophone, and Jon Scully on trumpet.

Detour on the way home from a recent work trip. This is a great spot…
…and we had an ice cream. Just like the Victorians might’ve done.

The Alhambra Gardens in Roundhay Park, Leeds. I have drawn here a few times over the last few years, this is my first painting. I’m pleased it has been accepted for an upcoming exhibition, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the park, open 16th July – 4th September 2022. More info here.

Happy birthday, Bob Dylan. Thanks for all the great songs.
