May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
While I was trying to get myself some sleep during the wee hours of Sunday morning after my ‘late night’ staying up to watch Eurovision and hoping to see the Northern Lights whose fantastical fluorescent dance I had missed the previous night due to my being a confirmed old fart (I was in bed by…
Yes, I am VERY EXCITED! Hamish has a new single out called Big Cat Tattoos (which he’d played a few times during the gigs I’ve been to) – and a new album drops on 16 August called A Firmer Hand, available in various formats.

My apologies once again for a vlog review – for a writer, I like to do vlog posts! I’m just conscious to the fact I will be doing a heap of writing from tomorrow onwards (uni studies, and an assignment due next week, plus writing for the book will begin in earnest now, so yes…
