I’ve launched 'Note The Past', a podcast featuring stories from eras gone by. Our guests, who bear witness to what has come before, will enliven events and movements that have shaped our culture and may have influenced who we are today. A new business venture for me…heavens no. In the words of Bruce Springsteen, “…I ain’t here on business baby, I’m only here for fun…”. Hope you enjoy.
Hey everyone, just published another episode of Note the Past. For our 10th episode, Brad Langford and I share our top 5 rock 'n' roll debut albums. Difficult to accomplish - yes, particularly given the existence of Rolling Stone's 100 best Debut Albums of all time!! How on earth can you narrow the pantheon down to 5? Well...have a listen and see what you think. When you get this time, check out the links below for excellent source material on a few of these great artists. If you want to be notified of future episodes, click on the Note the Past icon in the podcast to subscribe. Sit back, grab a cold one and enjoy…Chris.

Over a ten year span, Rob captured the beauty and serenity of this stunning landscape in black & white photography (plates) culminating in the publication of his highly acclaimed monograph The Unseen Peninsula.
