Simple fare to fuel one’s appetite for Kylie and The Brit Awards and…  erm… did I mention Kylie?

In the steamer

Half a dozen Asparagus (Kylie likes them!) and a fist full of sprouts (not quite the same now the frost isn’t on the crops).

On the Griddle

Courgette, field mushrooms and sliced tofu steaks marinaded using my own (and Kylie’s) secret recipe.

In the Oven

Inch-thick rounds of butternut and chunks of parsnip doused in Extra Virgin Kylie Olive Oil.

On the Plate

All served up to eat in front of the telly as I settle down to watch the Brit Awards alongside my own special “Kylie”.

On the couch

Okay, so she can’t sing for toffee (or cream eggs) but she’s got everything else the real Kylie’s got – and more besides!

That’s all I ask.  Just listen for five minutes and forty seconds.  It’s not much out of a whole lifetime is it?

Put on your headphones or turn up your speakers and go to isaacbirchall.com.

Listen to Dreamer.

Then if you like, listen to Image through my words.  And then Same. And then…  Hell it’s not up to me.  Listen to them all!

Back in the sixties I played the Cavern, the Iron Door and many other of those iconic Merseyside venues, I trod the same boards as the Beatles (sadly not at the same time), the Searchers, Freddie, Jerry, the Big Three,  and all the other big names of the day.

But if I’d had a quarter of the talent of this young man I’d have really gone places.

It was fun while it lasted.

Now it’s his turn.  If you like his music, tell people.

…but listen!
