Happy New Year to all Barnet Eye readers. As we approach the end of the decade, I thought I'd share a few personal highlights and lowpoints from 2009 with you.
Highlights - Falsedots gig for Unison at Claddagh Ring in November, a truly memorable night. Gig Highlights. Public Image at the Electric Ballroom. Smokey Robinson at the Roundhouse for BBC Electric proms. Political highlight - getting asked to represent the Lib Dems in Mill Hill Ward. Personal highlight - My daughter Madeleine becoming 1500 metre 13 year old National Swimming Champion in July at the National Swimming Championships in Sheffield. My Son Matthews team, Watling FC winning their league at Under 10 level in May. Winning my standards case against Brian Coleman in September.
Low points - My much loved mother in law, Margaret passing away from Cancer in March. This cast a massive shadow over the year. A certain Mill Hill Landowners disrepespect for the people of Mill Hill and Barnet with his brazen attempts to spoil views of the Green Belt. Sad news about a 2 former bass players from my band the False Dots.
Other points of note : Our music shop/ studio reception was demolished as part of a redevelopment. We moved into a portacabin in April and we're still there. Found a great talent, Connie and are working on some superb recordings with her at the studio. Manchester City waved goodbye to Mark Hughes in controversial circumstances and hello to Roberto Mancini. Whatever his plus and minus points, he must be the coolest manager on the planet. For a rock and roll Man City fan that is IMPORTANT !!!!
