Vinyl Revival – In My Room
Even though I have still been purchasing vinyl when finances have allowed, I haven’t listened to vinyl much at all over the past few years. We have one turntable in the house, a Rega Planar 3 that my Other Half bought in 1983, back in the days where there was no such thing as “designed…

I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the wonderfully talented Zoe Graham earlier this week. We discussed her recently released debut album, TENT, covering tracks on the album, the production process and other aspects of her career to date.

Living in the 80(s) Days
There has been yet more nostalgia tripping for the band that prides itself on not wanting to be seen as a ‘heritage’ act. Yet more celebrations to do with THAT SONG having its 40th anniversary.

BBC Sounds Podcasts – Drama on 4: Spring Awakening
I have been aware of Spring Awakening for a number of years now. I knew it was to do with young people, teenagers – long before the term ‘teenager’ was used in regular parlance to describe a person in their adolescence. That mysterious and perplexing period of one’s life where the evolution of one’s sexual…

Hamish Hawk (+ Redolent and Withered Hand) – Usher Hall, Edinburgh 22/02/2025
The sun shone on Leith yesterday as Saturday had a day-long reprieve from an otherwise very damp and windy weekend. It was also sunny in Glasgow so Sue and I made the most of the good weather by going to the Rebels and Renegades photo exhibition at the Street Level Photoworks at 103 Trongate. I…
