Featuring 84 tracks, A Slight Disturbance In My Mind: The British Proto-Psychedelic Sounds Of 1966 examines the “experimental pop” element of the British music scene during that epochal twelve-month period with a dizzying, dazzling mix of nascent psychedelia, introspective pop and what’s been retrospectively labelled freakbeat.

..and talking of shake
After Celtic beat Hibernian 2-0 on 17th Rod called in Italian Bar & Grill Barolo in Glasgow, Simonas was happy as he got a photo with Rod that can now replace the photo he took in December when Rod last called in..that lets say wasn’t the best shot ever
Posting on the Barolo Facebook page he said ..
Remember we told you to make sure you take your pictures before the meal and not after? 👀
Thankfully Sir Rod Stewart paid us another visit and we did the legend justice with this clear snap 📸
Grazie for dining at Barolo Sir Rod Stewart!
