News Update - 40th birthday, music gigs

Enjoyed my 40th birthday celebrations with friends from the Hilltown Writers Group, Duncan and Jim, at the Pillars bar in Crichton Street, Dundee. Several sociable drinks and good conversation.

Also enjoyed the Woodlands Dance Orchestra's recent gig at the Trinity Church in Victoria Street Dundee, varied playlist of jazz, swing, modern pop, 60s medley, performed well by the band and singers.

Tried to book a ticket for the back-touring 2/4 of Queen - Brian May & Roger Taylor - + ex-Free singer Paul Rodgers at the SECC in Glasgow, supporting their forthcoming album of new rock material, but missed out due to high demand and a persistent flu virus sabotaging my online attempts at registering in time. Will try to book a ticket to see Kaiser Chiefs instead, touring the Highlands in May before appearing at T in the Park.
