Just read your blog Niall. I can only wish you a full recovery and good health thereafter.

Inspired by BBC’s The Traitors, I love you lot and I hope we continue to be friends. I am now and always have been…..the californian

Yes, indeed, it was one of my more enjoyable Sundays @fitterstoke I have just spotted a Youtube with the aforementioned highlight of DG with Archie Fisher’s The Shipyard Apprentice. Tears filled my eyes…

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 […]

Great stuff Colin which took me back to 18/6/73 and the MO gig at the Kelvin Hall Arena, Glasgow. My late big brother (that’s his photo above) got the tickets and took me along. He wanted to get in early and […]

He will appear in Glasgow on 29 June at Bellahouston Park with Elvis Costello & the Imposters as support. Perhaps he will repeat his 1976 busking moment outside the entrance of Glasgow Central Station.
