The Best of 2023 – My Top Five Gigs
Hamish Hawk: Again, it really is of little surprise that Hamish is here on this list as well. He is the artist I saw live the most number of times this year, having ventured to six live events involving him and/or his band. First was on 16 February – my first time seeing him as…
The Best of 2023 – My Top Five Albums
Again, it will be of no surprise to anyone to see Hamish Hawk’s Angel Numbers in my Top 5 Albums of 2023. It was by far my most played album of the year. Both it and Hamish’s previous album, Heavy Elevator, have been on pretty solid rotation all through 2023. The penmanship in his songwriting…
The Best of 2023 – My Top 10 Tracks
Of course Spotify Wrapped doesn’t really show the true state of the music that I was enjoying, listening to and discovering in 2023. So, I have decided to compile my favourites of 2023, broken up in three posts that I will share over the next three days. First up: My Top 10 Tracks of 2023…

Everything Is Possible – First Impressions?
I’ve just watched the documentary on ‘Simple Minds’ – Everything Is Possible and here are my initial thoughts and findings. Firstly, as I feared, it was essentially the Jim and Charlie story. The absence of other early members of the band really left a hole in the thing. I felt it did in any case….

Jim and Charlie on Virgin Radio with Ed Temple-Morris
A good chunk of interview, with Charlie actually getting some air time. Interesting to hear that Solstice Kiss Birdy (how I refer to the song these days) will be on the setlist next year. A slight change to the ‘you turn me on’ story that Jim gave last year. And…barely a year into his marriage,…

Well, This Seems To Be Saying Something!
I had a notification on Facebook earlier about the SM page adding a photo, but I couldn’t see what had changed as it kept taking me to the most recent post on their page when I’d click the notification – but there was nothing added to the post. I thought nothing else of it until…
Please Don’t Become The ‘Bad Cop’, Charlie!
Currently I’m recovering from having a big old dose of lurgy. I’m not even sure it wasn’t a dose of Covid. I haven’t felt this sick since the last time (and first time) I had Covid in June 2022. That aside, but perhaps relevant as it may have caused my mind to fester on this…

Spotify Wrapped for 2023 Sees Simple Minds Go Down A Peg
Yep! It’s official! My most played artist of 2023 was…no surprises here really if you’ve been taking note of the content on my blog for the past several months…. Mr Hamish Hawk! Well…who’d have thunk it? Top track of his for me was seemingly Bridget St John. It reveals a changing of the tide. For…
