John Medd: That's What You Are

http://johnmedd.blogspot.com/2015/07/thats-what-you-are.html

Wednesday, 29 July 2015. That's What You Are. It takes a worried man to sing a worried song. In 1974 Peter Sellers gave a very rare television interview to Michael Parkinson. Sellers was a troubled man - and it showed. Parkinson gently cajoled him and with the help of a few props, including his beloved ukulele, and maybe a livener or two beforehand in the Green Room, Sellers soon loosened up and within minutes the pair were getting on like the proverbial house on fire.

John Medd: Play time

http://johnmedd.blogspot.com/2015/07/play-time.html

Sunday, 19 July 2015. Let's Play' - acrylic on canvas (12" x 9"). However kids get hold of their music today, it can never be as exciting as walking through the doors of The Play Inn in 1973 and asking if they'd got a copy of Hell Raiser by The Sweet. It can't possibly be. The bags, which I still keep,. Are a portal back to those days. When I painted the canvas (above) yesterday, I must have had a bit of grit in my eye; nobody sheds tears for the demise of shops. Do they? Sunday, July 19, 2015. But I don...

John Medd: The Jigsaw Man

http://johnmedd.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-jigsaw-man.html

Saturday, 25 July 2015. I'd rather be doing a jigsaw' Gordon Medd (right) c.1953. Dad's coming up to see us for a few days. It'll do him good. He's hitting the Great North Road just after lunch and should be with us by mid-afternoon. It'll be a first - with no backseat driver to point out the shortcomings of his driving skills, 'You're too close Gordon', he should be able to set a new PB. Dad, believe me, the places I'm taking you definitely don't have a dress code.'. Saturday, July 25, 2015. Deep Purple...

John Medd: May 2015

http://johnmedd.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, 31 May 2015. Why did the hens cross the road? It was Race Day and the sun was shining. But it wasn't just race goers who piled off the train in their droves in search of an early doors drink; there were more hen parties in town than you could shake a shitty stick at. How some of them would have made it beyond sundown is a mystery - many would have been early fallers long before teatime. But despite many wearing heels higher than your average house and L.

John Medd: A Bloomin' Book

http://johnmedd.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-bloomim-book.html

Sunday, 12 July 2015. When my cousin Raymond Murray was asked way back in 1975 by John K* * (our tearaway, black sheep of a cousin) who his favourite cousin was, he told him. And he told him straight: 'Adrianne'. Roscommon July 2015. L-R, John M, Adrianne, Suzie, Raymond. K* * was crestfallen: 'Adri-fackin'-anne? Or, depending on your standpoint, just a bloomin' book.

John Medd: Providence?

http://johnmedd.blogspot.com/2015/07/providence.html

Wednesday, 22 July 2015. What ham, egg and chips should. We should have seen the warning signs: the car park was deserted and inside wasn't much better: I've seen more life on an old army blanket. They'd still got their Christmas decorations up for god's sake. But we toughed it out, we stayed. We each went for a pint of their local grog, which despite one being chilled and one slightly above room temperature (amazingly both from the same hand pull) was at least drinkable. So far, so average. We made (hus...
