Just been to see Tom McRae live at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire with Abbi and her friend Dan. Abbi persuaded me to go to listen to Tom who I hadn’t come across until she mentioned yesterday that he was playing tonight. Enjoyed his music and the atmosphere that was there.

It was strange to be back in Shepherd’s Bush after not visiting it for a couple of years. The inevitable Starbucks has appeared, The Happy Garden which on many occasion we have had take out to Flat 12 Camerat Court has gone, the big white empty building and the Mailcoach Inn are now just flattened spaces. It was also the first time that I’d been to the Shepherd’s Bush Empire
