Hey Brother Pour the Wine
Now it's time to take a drink in our alliterative week for 'Thirsty Thursday'. Anyone fancy a glass of Red Red Wine? Maybe some Whisky in the Jar? Or even some Tequila? Obviously if you're tee-total, then you'd probably prefer some Orange Juice... whatever your tipple of choice, there are thousands of drinking songs and references, of the alcoholic variety or otherwise. Top up your glass, say cheers and then it's down the hatch. Get your choices in via the blog, email, text, twitter or facebook and I look forward to being fully quenched during the show

Mr Bonamassa, your name can come off that list above, I'm most scunnered with you. UK dates put up a couple of months or so ago. No Glasgow date, ticket bought for Edinburgh. Now there's a GRCH date. Big price difference, mind, and £50 for Glasgow might have put me off, but taking travel into account...

You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
