“It’s grim up north: more steelworks down the pan, whippets culled at 5, tripe stains on every pub floor, Lisa Stansfield opening Morrisons, all the chippies running out of mushy peas. However - I will be returning to pedal my Joni Mitchell cannon along with two highly gifted jazz musicians from the Early Learning Centre ... or do I mean the Guildhall School of Music, London? ... So baton down the batches, lock up all your pies and daughters, put a crease in your Help the Aged slacks, park the Volvo and bring a wife or husband and I’ll see you on the green.” - Ian Shaw, January 2016
