VALENCIA
March 12, 2026
Tonight's scheduled show in Valencia has been rendered impossible due to sleep deprivation. Morrisseu drove from Milan to Valencia but has been unable to rest in Valencia due to noise.
The show is not cancelled. Circumstances render the show impossible.

I’ll be using this new Morrissey excuse at some point:

β€˜I’m not not turning up for my shift. Circumstances have rendered my attendance impossible…’

The Pembroke in Belgravia, a soon-to-open private members' club catering to London's " super wealthy", has taken out a half-page advertisement in Country Life for a "butter sommelier".
It explains that the recruit - who must have a "deep love for, and understanding of, butter" - will "curate our butter assortment", and help train staff to use our
"silver butter trolley".

Gertrude Lawrence and Ronald Squire sup Whitbread's before tucking into grapes and sausages on sticks. Looks like the DJ at the wedding buffet has paused his Flanagan & Allen bangers so people can tuck into the buffet. (Poster in Victoria, Leeds).

The pub is playing Venus in Furs. The Victoria seems a world away from shiny boots of leather, more portly men in cardigans.

You in another decade (70s). The Vomit Band (punk/'eavy arguments) fail to impress Jane. Me on vocals and tight keks. Blodwen the dog (folk fan) disgusted. Dangerous Morris Minor in the background (went full throttle on the M6).

Someone's left a Yorkshire Brass Band Championships programme in the Rat & Ratchet pub. Heard of the top 6 bands in the Champ section but didn't realise there were so many bands. Hebden Bridge - who knew? Seems to be a West/South Yorks thing. North Yorks is clarinet country.
