Bowie At Glastonbury

Really enjoying this, but he's let down by his keyboard player who not only overplays, but managed to get the chords wrong for Life on Mars. Duff backing singers, too - but Earl Slick on guitar is...

Normal People

Anyone watching this? Beautifully acted and directed, though strange decision to do it in 12 half-hour episodes. Big career ahead for the two talented leads, I'd say. Great to see Trinity College,...
