Oasis somehow exceeded all of my expectations last night. A moment in history. I’ve never seen so much euphoria in one place. Do whatever you can to see them on this tour. It’s worth every penny!

Late at night in 1969, still in her pyjamas, hair in rollers and four months pregnant, MERRY CLAYTON was asked by THE ROLLING STONES to provide backing vocals to GIMME SHELTER. The isolated vocal track of the recording is astonishing.

HOME ALONE premiered 34 years ago today 😱. It still blows my mind that JOHN WILLIAMS wrote this incredible score for a ‘family’ movie. Here he is conducting it with a full orchestra and choir. 🤯

The great RICHARD BURTON was born 99 years ago today. Perhaps the greatest star to ever emerge from Wales, here he is with his wife ELIZABETH TAYLOR performing a Welsh folk song for SAMMY DAVIS JR.

‘Every man is searching for the place he belongs…’. RICHARD BURTON was born 99 years ago today. Here he is in reflective mood, post Taylor divorce, and off the booze, returning to his home town Pontrhydyfen in 1977.
