RIP. I remember seeing him here in London. What a treat and a fantastic drummer.

Quarter Cask are 14-16 years old and that means they mature in a smaller cask, which means it is a bit more oak-y and peaty. It's about £45 retail here and it's good whiskey.

I've done a lot of work with both artists in Europe, with more touring scheduled for November. Lovely guys and absolutely deafeningly good live. Eamon is a force and I think, one day, he'll be seen as a Canadian legend.

I support the bill for the most part, albeit it is flawed. It has more protection measures for independent musicians and their copyrights, which is a good thing.
