Yes, legend, superstar, songwriter supreme, entertainer. I spent a long number of years explaining to many people that she we all of these and not some sort of dressed up cartoon character. A splendid 80 years.

My friend, Dougie White, was vocalist with the 1993/1997 incarnation of Rainbow. The band produced Stranger In Us All in 1995. During the time of his Rainbow adventure, I kept in touch with Dougie (he was not […]

Since 1972, my ‘go to’ album has been the double album, Manassas by the band, Manassas, led by Stephen Stills. It’s the first one which came to mind though there others from that time which have been listened to many times.

I looked at various sites this morning in connection with Dave Greenslade’s passing. None mentioned that Clem Clempson had passed away. I have just checked online again and still no mention of CC having died. In […]

Dave Greenslade RIP, 83Obituary I was a big fan of Dave who was a fine keyboard player. I’m a sucker for a Hammond organ. Probably best known as a member of […]

I think you are, quite correctly, making a musical connection @Vulpes-Vulpes . However, Khruangbin are bereft of face coverings which was the main thrust of my comment.

I reckon Glass Beams is the missing link between the Swedish band GOAT and Angine de Poitrine from Canada. I enjoyed ‘Mahal’.

Born in the early 50’s about 30k south of Glasgow and 6k from Motherwell, I would have been expected to be a supporter of Celtic. However, in the early 60’s, aged 8/9, I had a notion of being a speedy wee right […]

Thanks @niallb . I just ‘took the test’ which basically confirmed what an audiologist told me about 3 years ago. This was that I have moderate hearing loss. Since then I have been using Phonak Sonova hearing aids […]

I also went to see this film on Wednesday at our Robert Burns Film Theatre here in Dumfries. I agree with most of your comments @dai (never been a fan of Yoko Ono). The sound was very good and the band were well […]

Thanks for your review @Uncle-Mick. ‘Going into it blind’ is a great idea. For more than 10 years, my buddy, Mick, and I have been treating each other to what we call ‘Mystery Gigs’. One of us will buy gig […]

Great song, excellent wee band. Jonny’s voice reminded me at times of Lloyd Cole. The guitarist looks like an early Jan Akkerman in Focus days. Hope they find their way to Scotland some time.

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 […]
