So my mate Dave ‘Trombone’ has been working hard for the last year or so putting a fantastic New Orleans-style jazz band together – but this one is not like any other you may have seen or heard before…
Not only are Doolally Tap a remarkable bunch of musicians, but they are all unique ‘characters’, guaranteed to add interest and life to any performance or event!
Check out their new website here for more details or better yet go and see them play / book them for a gig – you won’t be disappointed!
Doolally Tap’s new website
(I did the banner for the site but that’s not why I am plugging them, honest!)

Last weekend saw the official launch night event for the shed book at Waterstones.
Here are a few shots of the night in all it’s glory – the event was well attended by a variety of sheddies, featured a speech from the author/photographer of the book Donato, as well as some musical performances and, of course, few glasses of red wine!

Firstly, apologies for the scarcity of posts this year – it’s been a tricky time for one reason and another…
Finally though, here is some good news! I’ve finally received an advanced copy of a long-awaited new book on sheds, featuring your truly on the cover and one of the inside stories.
‘My Shed and How It Was Built‘ features 50 different shed dies and their unique shed creations, including some of my ‘shed night friends that I’ve mentioned on this blog over the years (including GG, SC and IJ to name but a few…)
50 inspiring sheds and their owners
The book is officially published on the 7th May, and there is a launch event for it at the St Alban’s branch of Waterstones on Saturday 9th. More information and pre-ordering of the book can be found on the publishers Little, Brown Book Group site here:
https://www.littlebrown.co.uk/books/detail.page?isbn=9781845285630
The book is photographed and written by well-known photographer Donato Cinicolo… he’s done a splendid job on this, his latest, book although I guess I may be a bit biased!! Check it out for yourself – it makes the perfect gift for any shed enthusiast!

Pop Up Art Show final shot
Pop Up Art Show final shot number 2
So the Pop Up Art show has entered its final few days…
To mark this there is a special ‘taster’ exhibition, featuring works from some of the past exhibitors, plus lots of new ones. Every artist shows approx three works and the mix of styles / works makes for a really fun show.
Here are a couple of ‘panoramic’ shots of the opening private view night, which hopefully give one an idea of the range of works.
The show is on until late Monday night so do get along if you are in the area!

I’ve just installed my ‘Art Deco Uplighter’ in the home of the lucky person who bought it from my show!
To my surprise they actually wanted it as a downlighter – luckily that made very little difference to the way it needed to be affixed to the wall and I must admit it worked really well that way around. The halogen bulb throws a very attractive pattern on the wall and the light cast is just the right strength / warmth.
Here’s a very quick shot – I wish I had made more of them!!
