Test Transmission Archive Reel 37!!!!!!!!

Here is Archive Reel 37. Something to plod along and tap your foot to over the summer. BTW I will be wandering around the Deleware Rd event on 17th Aug, if you see someone drinking to much coffee and looking a bit lost...it could be me. Final bit of info for you all is that the new album is all finished and is coming out in the New Year on Castles in Space. More on that at later date, so until then have a nice summer. tata.

1969 Moonbase and More

What with it being 50 years since the Apollo Moon Landings, I thought it might be a good time to put my 1969 Space City Biscuit Tin on here. My friend Mr Palmer picked this up for me and it really is quite a lovely thing. In 1969 we were all so optimistic about space and the moon. The general assumption was that by the 1990s/end of the century we would be holidaying on the moon and there would be a rather splended Moonbase. On TV and Film we were constantly shown people living and working on the moon: Clavius Base in 2001, Moonbase Alpha in Space 1999, SHADO Moonbase in UFO (set in 1980) and even Hammer got in on the act with Moon City in Moon Zero 2 (set in 2021). Sadly of course in the real world none of this happened, even though I was convinced that it would. More on My fondness of all things 60s and 70s Spacewise can be sort out on Found Objects
