Xmas Friday Song time again and I feel in the mood for something light this year or I might have gone with this client request. We haven’t done this one since it came out in 2009. It is fantastic fun, has a great video and quite simply is Bob Dylan’s greatest song ever. Have a […]
I never sit awaiting appeal outcomes – if for no other reason than the pace with which they are progressed is far too random. So when one comes in I often can’t remember the original submissions and substantive arguments. When todays result dropped I did expect a negative result as it predates this case. I […]
A particularly annoying 2015 Own Client Contract verification exercise is underway. The CLSA have confirmed that the deadline has been extended until midnight tonight due to a misunderstanding about the supervisor form. There is no misunderstanding the form and associated guidance is hopeless, but I will save a rant about this for another time. What […]
Have just secured tickets for the Manics “Everything Must Go” event at Leeds (wanted to go to Swansea but double booked) and Mariza at the Barbican in March. The latter has not recorded since we last saw her 5 years ago and this is the first video of the new album Mundo – stunning.

The money stayed in office account given the firm’s overdraft which was exacerbated by £170K in unpaid fees […]
The most basis advice is “do it” before that date. It is relatively straightforward – reply to the incoming message on the Bravo solutions message board and attach the relevant documents. This is not helped by a Supervisor Declaration template which does not work properly (section 4) and a near incomprehensible indemnity form. That aside, […]
Fatherson are one our very favourites, again introduced to us by fantastic Teesside promoters TKASG. I genuinely do not understand why they have not yet crossed over from the indie circuit into the mainstream. Great though it is to see them in tiny venues they should be playing headline shows in arenas! Lets hope 2016 […]
I have just finished a detailed review of the “Continuing competence” training regime – which will replace CPD in October next year. Some of you may already have opted into it as you could in the spring this year. It will definitely be subject to a full webinar (carrying CPD points!) in the New Year. […]
