Arts Project Hello friend, Another great rehearsal. The guys learnt the final 4 numbers. We spent a bit of time on the first 2 before squeezing in the other 2 in the final few minutes. I feel like the band are starting to click. They are really making the songs come alive. Unexpectedly, we had

Media Hello friend, I’ve not even got a resolution from IPSO to my current crop of complaints regarding newspaper article inaccuracies before another series of sensationalist stories have been published. This time about the arts project. I’m waiting to receive the articles but from what I understand they are typically ridiculous. They use the sort

Heart Attack & Handcuffs (civil case) Hello friend, My permission to appeal was refused the day after I lost my music files case. I’ll fill you in on the details in due course. Be happy, be safe (… spirit). Graham Coutts. 21st May 2017

Music Files (civil case) Hello friend, I lost! As much as I would like to leave it at that, I feel compelled to give you a more detailed summary of what happened at the trial. The MOJ presented 3 witnesses to give evidence. There were 2 other witnesses who, for reasons unknown, didn’t attend; including

Appeal Hello friend, We’ve now got Lancaster University Innocence Project on board. They’re assigning a team to assist. This is a really positive piece of news as this will, hopefully, identify a certain type of academic expert witness. An elusive piece of the jigsaw. The QC who is also assisting is a close supporter of

Arts Project Hello friend, A great rehearsal this week. I think this was partly due to both me and the other guitarist using smaller amps. We’ve been using 2 Marshall 2×12 combos; very loud, even when quiet. The other guitarist used a Vox combo, nice. I ended up with this tiny Fender amp. It looked

This is not what I want to do but, unfortunately, the tabloid press have done their thing and sensationalised what we are trying to achieve. Watch out for the next ‘media’ blog.

Hello friend This week we are tying out a replacement for one of the guys, whilst he has no experience in performing in either in a show or even a band, he is confident that he will do a good job. He’s got a lot of hard work ahead to catch up. I’m hopeful that,

Safety Hello friend, Following on from the previous blog: this is an amended version of the blog I wrote on 2nd April 2017, which was subsequently returned to me, un-mailed, by Security (see previous blog). The parts they did not specify to be, allegedly, “known or believed to be false” I have written in speech

Stopped Blog Hello friend, I got the reply to my complaint regarding Security stopping my ‘Safety’ blog. They reference s.11.3. (a) (iii) of PSI 49/2011 (Prisoners Communications Services): “information which is known or believed to be false.” This is somewhat misleading as that part should be read in conjunction with s.11.3 (a): “Material which is
