And best of all 280 iTune downloads - Whilst shopping in Woolworth’s on my lunch hour I missed a call on my mobile. I stepped outside and rang the number. The lady responded with “Hello, Kate – Planet Rock”, I immediately thought “This sounds promising”. She told me I’d won a prize in their Neil Young competition. She told me I’d won some iTunes. I thank her, but had it in my mind I’d probably won £5 worth of iTunes.

I got back into work and checked the competition on the Planet Rock website. I was shocked to see that I’d won the equivalent to Neil Young’s back catalogue, a total of 24 albums. This worked out at 280 iTunes downloads.

15th March: Book - 'Kill Your Friends"

17th March: won tickets to see Kris Kristofferson at Manchester Apollo from Mojo Magazine. He was supported by a Glaswegian named Rob Hart who was quite good. Kris even appeared during his set and provided backing vocals on a couple of songs. When it came to his own performance he appeared on stage with no band, just him is guitar and harmonica. He then performed for two hours with just a short 15min break, not bad for a 71 year old. His songs all told stories, one minute they made you laugh, the next they ripped your heart out. His voice was honest and gravally was just perfect for wringing out the emotion from every song.

19th March – I received an e-mail saying I had won a Tampopo goodie bag. This seemed to comprise of a glass for making coffee and some coffee. As this had to be collected in Manchester I doubt I will bother getting it.
