JON LOOMES sings and plays a dozen or so instruments. He breaths fire, writes sonnets, paints in the style of Botticelli and makes violins. He doesn't like to blow his own trumpet (actually, it's a cornet) but he's aware that everyone says he is too self-deprecating, a failing that he is struggling hard to put right. Handsome, charming, witty and modest, Jon Loomes is beautifully constructed from English fine bone china and is lavishly adorned with 22 carrat gold. He comes fully equipped with heated seats, sat nav and electric windows, on the road from just £200,000. Send no money now.
Jon runs a recording studio specialising in acoustic music. He's also in charge of the Melodeon department at The Music Room in Cleckheaton so if you need a new bass button for that old pokerwork you've always been meaning to do up, come along to the shop and he'll be more than happy to sell you a 3 row Saltarelle...
TODAY'S NEWS: THE BROTHERS DROHNE (Jon Loomes and The inimitable Philip G Martin) will be playing this coming Monday at the Tower of London, opening for The Good, The Bad & The Queen. Jon has absolutely no idea what's going on, but it all sounds very exciting.
Jon is recovering nicely from his long term illness and is starting to record stuff again, mainly episodes of Dr Who, but he says there will be some new old music here very soon.
NOW THIS IS JUST PLAIN WEIRD - THERE'S SOME MAD STUFF ON THE NET!
If I was one of these celebrities I'd be quite upset at being told I looked like a man.
Still, it's nice to know I have something else in common with Eva Herzigova - To be quite honest, I've no idea who half of these people are. Then again, I'm not too sure who the one in the middle is either.
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine

90% of British dental work falls below international standards
The Rip Off Dentists.
The appalling dental work being inflicted on most of the British population is exposed today by an Observer investigation which has uncovered evidence that up to 90 per cent of work falls below international standards.
Whistle-blowing dentists describe it as a 'national scandal', accusing the Government and the profession of colluding to hide it from the public. Poor quality work means patients are more likely to get further tooth decay, suffer unnecessary pain, incur extra costs and need work redone years earlier than necessary.
Some reputable dentists complain that 'cowboy' dentists are destroying patients' teeth with near impunity, ignored by authorities.
Figures obtained by The Observer show that complaints against dentists have risen sharply, but members of the profession warn that, if the public knew of the scale of shoddy work, it could lead to a tidal wave of litigation.
The Observer reported that dentists carry out at least £200 million worth of unnecessary work each year. To read the full article visit my blog. Educate yourself, protect your family, fight back, let dentists know they cannot get away with this anymore!!!!
