Gorbals Boys at The Citz – Glasgow Book Event Announced

Gorbals Boys at The Citz – Glasgow Book Event Announced

Well, at least ONE Gorbals boy anyway (not sure of Burchill’s origins before his family were rehomed at Toryglen – guess I’ll find out soon enough, if such info is revealed in the book?). What am I on about? The news today that the run of Kerr/Burchill book launch dooberries is happening at the recently…

Zoe Graham (+ Scott C. Park) – The Hug and Pint, Glasgow – 19/09/2025

Zoe Graham (+ Scott C. Park) – The Hug and Pint, Glasgow – 19/09/2025

This was my first chance of seeing a full headline set from Zoe, having previously seen her in support slots for Echo and the Bunnymen and Lo Moon, as well as attending her in-store set and signing at Assai Records in Glasgow.  As you may have seen from my list of upcoming gigs I was…

More Drip-fed Details For Book Signings (Should it be Aye Write or “Aye, right”?)

More Drip-fed Details For Book Signings (Should it be Aye Write or “Aye, right”?)

A post on the Simple Minds Facebook page confirmed there will be other signing events taking place in Glasgow and London (as well as the Toppings Edinburgh event) but the ‘cloak and dagger’ continues. Now, for me, I don’t give a flying hoot about attending any of these signings but I know a number of…

Hamish Is For Every Day – But Also For Christmas!

Hamish Is For Every Day – But Also For Christmas!

He had been alluding to something else to come shortly after the performances of Life in a Scotch Sitting Room Vol. 0 but kept us guessing with the whys and wherefores then dropped a teaser yesterday. Then the announcement dropped this morning. Two gigs. One in London in Islington, the other at THE BARRAS on…

Friday Night in the City – Megan Black 29/08/2025

Friday Night in the City – Megan Black 29/08/2025

I had a more laidback night out than perhaps some of the more recent nights out I’ve had during the summer. The gig in question was not on the agenda for me until a few weeks back. My friend Ronnie McGhie invited me along as his ‘plus one’ for the show. The show in question…

Hamish Hawk/Billy Nomates/Cloth – Fringe by the Sea, North Berwick 08/08/2025

Hamish Hawk/Billy Nomates/Cloth – Fringe by the Sea, North Berwick 08/08/2025

The initial travel plan for me was to get the CityLink 900 coach to and back from Edinburgh and then get the train to/back from North Berwick from/to Waverley. I booked the coach tickets via Megabus instead of booking via CityLink. I’d never had any problems booking with Megabus before but this time, although I…

A Change in Attitude?

A Change in Attitude?

I’ve been staying off Facebook more and more these days. Even more so at the moment, for as much as I appreciate the “Taormina Team” all being excited and ridiculously enthusiastic about being over there for those final shows, it will be all I’ll see if I open up Facebook and dare step in. I…

The Bellahouston Breakdown – A Long Vlog Post (Sorry!)

The Bellahouston Breakdown – A Long Vlog Post (Sorry!)

Sorry for the vid – I felt like dissecting it all this way instead of taking hours to compile a written post. I know the vlog posts aren’t to everyone’s liking, so to save you the pain, the condensed summary is: Yes & Maybe – great! Hamish Hawk – you know I can wax lyrical…

Bucket List Gig – 50 Years In The Waiting

Bucket List Gig – 50 Years In The Waiting

Last week I had seen that Suzi Quatro would be out on the road touring in 2026. For the past few years I have really wanted to go and see her. She was my very first musical hero, back when I was a wee wean. She hasn’t been to Scotland for her past couple of…
