Residential


Tonight, while you are uncorking the wine and enjoying Friday night, I shall be enjoying/enduring the horrors of... the work residential. Hotel, meeting from 4 until 7, dinner, drinks and then another round of meetings on Saturday morning all the way through until 12.

As a result they will be no rockabilly tonight- I'm not having you grooving to the sounds of the Bagging Area Friday night while I'm suffering. I know that sounds selfish but that's the way it is.

Some songs recently appeared on Soundcloud- unfinished versions of songs for a second One Dove album, scrapped as the band split up while recording it. Shame. One Dove's Morning Dove White is a lost 90s gem, flawed maybe but a gem nonetheless.



If you go here there's a few more, tasters of what might have been.

I don't spend an hour longer near work than I have to so complete sympathy.

Meanwhile...one dove...lovely....should have been huge obviously, but the releases that do exist are not enough so thanks for this...

If I may, what IS a work residential?
Anyway, try and have a nice weekend just the same.

you should have pulled a sickie. In my time I think I was last on a night away was in 2004. And not a staff one, that sounds hell on earth. We shall be having wine, in fact we're just off out for a beer now. 85 cents.

I hate having to socialise with people from work, stilted conversation, the weird looks when you suggest a third pint. Fucking awful. You have my full sympathy.

Saw One Dove live twice, they were very good.
