For the legions of Eisenhowers fans around the globe, I will be playing a live set at Uddingston Music Club on Friday 3rd February. Songs will be sung, drinks will be drunk and chat will chut on the next step in the campaign to propel the latest album (‘Judge a man by the company he keeps’) up the hit parade. The song linked to below -‘How will you know when you know?’- is about being in a band and hitting the wall of realisation that you are probably not going to be the next U2. In the first verse, there is excitement and optimism as the musicians plan for an adventure, loading up their van before hitting the road for a gig (in the exotic location of Aberdeen). The second verse is written from the perspective of the morning after the night before, grinding through the daily routine and attempting to analyse events through the enervating fog of sleep deprivation.

Mmm, Uddingston, home of the Tunnocks Teacake & Caramel Wafer. I would love to come along on Friday but I will attending a Celtic Connections gig in Glasgow. However, if you’re ever in Dumfries or its environs, I’ll try to be there. Like the song.
Raymond says
Thanks. The venue is actually just around the corner from Tunnocks HQ.

Hmmm, create a diversion with your toe-tapping tunes while I dig a tunnel.
If you will, a Tunnockel.
