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 […]

My yesterday started just after midnight as I continued to watch Emergency Helicopter Medics. Off to bed at 01am, I then did some Wordle practice on Wordle Unlimited before tackling that day’s NYT Wordle (did it i […]

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 […]

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 […]

Doesn’t the song refer to the horse-drawn carriage with a ‘fringed ‘ canopy (tassles)?

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 […]
