    Keith Emerson RIP

    Its certainly been a sombre time since i was telephoned last night and told. ELP helped me grow up as a seven year old. My sister, who is 7 years older than I got to go to the Liverpool Empire to see them in '74. My love for the band grew from about then to a bit of an addiction. I was lucky...

    Contactless Card Fraud

    Cant go into any detail given $dayjob. But, this presentation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fszkxcJt7U) will give you an idea of the range that scanners can be used at. Extrapolate that out in an area where you can get a lot of people.

    Contactless Card Fraud

    The reader is only part of the chain of events you would need for a fraud to be committed. The biggest of which is the requirement to have a dodgy merchant to pass all the contactless payments to the acquirer. In $dayjob we've played around with really ugly scenarios where this sort of...

    Good artists on audiophile labels...

    I saw Foo-Foo and the Boy live at the Naim BBQ a few years back, and they were very good live. The boy duing this session was the chap that designed the case work for the NBL apparently.

    Keith Emerson in concert - a plug

    I agree with you about the Liverpool crowd, they were very muted to begin with. Manchester was certainly more lively than Liverpool, however the bar was full of people who I believe would find it difficult to decide if they sat on their arse or their elbow. Some of the conversations I...

    Keith Emerson in concert - a plug

    Keith Emerson in concert - a plug

    Liverpool gig: Sound was bloody aweful. Far too loud for the hall, and the mix for Keiths keyboards was bad bad bad. Back stage passes made up for this, got to have a good ol' chinwag with the members of the Nice, pitty Dave K didnt pop in for a chat. Preston gig: A lot better on the...
