I never did get to a SAHB gig. However, your post has reminded me of a lovely moment in the early 70’s. Back then, I had started to go along to gigs with my late brother Tom (that’s him in the box). A drummer, he […]

I have to agree with you @Blue-Boy having returned an hour ago from CMA’s Glasgow gig in the splendid St Luke’s venue. She performed basically the same set as in Manchester. I last saw her at the same Glasgow […]

I also went to see this here in Dumfries in our wee film theatre which was pretty well full. I thoroughly enjoyed it and liked the narration format. I hadn’t previously seen the part where Mike McCartney was being […]

And so it goes around @kaisfatdad In 2018, I attended a First Aid Kit gig at the famous Glasgow Barrowlands. It was a great night. On March 5th, I will be attending a James Yorkston solo gig in the bijou […]

On reading your post, my first thought was Courtney Marie Andrews, probably because I will be attending her gig in Glasgow (St Judes) on 23rd February. I last saw her there in 2017. So, she’s all growed-up now. […]

After breakfast, I charged my car in preparation for the trip from Dumfries to Glasgow to attend the ‘True & Bold: A Night for Dick Gaughan’ concert in the Royal Concert Hall. At 5:15pm, I collected my friend Mick […]

I’ve attended a few gigs by Simply Dylan (a tribute to Bob Dylan, not a Bob Dylan tribute band). The main man is John O’Connell who hails from Liverpool. No dressing up, no wigs, no doing the voice. Excellent […]

Oh yes! In a day when I did the family Christmas get together and then returned home to over 100 TV channels all crap, this was 75 minutes very well spent. Thank you VV for bringing it to our attention.

Best wishes to all, especially those for whom the past year has been tinged with misfortune, sadness or loss as described elsewhere. May the forthcoming year bring better times.

Thanks for that, Colin. Good to hear Dick’s interesting comments about the people and the music. It also included my favourite, Now Westlin Winds by Burns. Now looking forwards to the ‘True & Bold’ evening at […]
