I had the pleasure of booking some acts for this years Glastonbury Music Festival, The Paddingtons whose rock n roll lief started with us at Poptones blew the crowd away.. seems like they became a big fan of Tony Benn

The band will be headlining for us again at Peace of Art show celebrating Nobel Peace Laureate Joseph Rotblats 100th birthday on US election day NOv 4th 2008..

Comment from the Glastonbury message boards:

“I was in the Leftfield for Marcus Brigstock, very very funny guy, Tony Benn, absolute legend and the Paddingtons as in your face as ever.”

“As if all that mirth wasn’t enough we’re treated to The Paddingtons!”

I am now back from Kolkata, WOW what an adventure it has been. The week moved at 120kts and it is only now that my brain is starting to gently comprehend and try and understand my voyage of discovery about me, my roots, the city of kolkata and everything else since then. I visited The Rehabilitation Center for Children, which is where i spent many years having operations. I will upload some photos soon. The kids were great and all they wanted to know about is what it is like to fly - so i told them and i loved the expression on their faces….they gave me a wonderful shirt made by the children and this card…
