A back to front kind of week
Last week, very much concentrated on new work based on the music of Kenny Wheeler, saw a 21 per cent uplift in marlbank readership compared to the previous week. Meaningless let’s be frank beyond anal trainspottery and the lure of vanity metrics but great, eh, that the flock is getting a bit bigger. Ewe never had it so good.
Oh, and we will sheepishly lob in the fun fact given Wheeler was a well known palindrome lover even if the irony isn’t lost that aibohphobia, a palindrome itself, is the fear of palindromes.

It’s not one man and his dog round here. Well, not recently, anyway.
But of course we aren’t getting zillions of readers either.
So, big up the trickle.
Welcome new readers, strays, blow-ins, rescue animals, canines, all. Woof. Sniff around

Knats, A Great Day in Newcastle, Fontana ***
This homage to the north east is certainly about local pride. Its appeal if you are not from there is more debatable.

Lorikeet, Woven, Babel ***1/2
Jaunty, rather lovely, English folk and some Americana and improv directions figure on newly surfacing Somerset band Lorikeet’s Woven.
