October 27, 2025
T’was a dark October eve when Glenn Hughes returned to Wolverhampton to play for us the songs from The Chosen Years tour. The air was crisp, streets outside the venue busy, and then there was me, at home, having managed to forget my phone when rushing to grab a bus! Irked? You betcha! I
