Flipping The ‘V’ To The (Monkey Wanking) Fans
It’s been a lovely first week away from not any longer stressing about uni studies and just being able to get out of bed when I want and CHILL. At this time of year I struggle to sleep well. Not because the weather is warm – fat chance in Glasgow! It’s because the days are…

Goodbye Uni, Hello … ?
My four years of Open University studies has come to an end. It ended with such an anti-climax. I hadn’t foreseen that I would not be melancholy about my study days being over. I thought that I would desire continuing on. But this final module (AKA academic year) has been such a hurdle I am…
Hamish Hawk – Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol. 0 – Oran Mor – 10/05/2026
It had been almost nine months to the day since first seeing Hamish Hawk perform Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol. 0 at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Myself and the OH enjoyed so much that we’d wish we could have gone back the following night to see it all over again. So when…

The Twilight Sad (+ Theo Bleak, Deary) – Barrowland Ballroom – 06/05/2026
I decided it was a good idea to head on down earlier than I normally would for a queue wait. Not too much earlier, mind. I had to be mindful of how much time I’d spend on my feet. I was hopeful that it being the second of the two shows and it not being…

Saint Sappho – Between The Lines Album Launch – Assai Records, Glasgow – 02/05/2026
The weather has been wonderful in Glasgow lately. It was finally feeling like spring had arrived. But nothing lasts forever, and certainly that is true of sunny, warm conditions afforded this fair city. We were back to type – grey skies and the constant threat of rain (if not actual precipitation). It was an early…
Craig Ferguson – Pants on Fire – 02 Academy, Glasgow – 26/04/2026
It had been a loooong wait. Firstly, because it wasn’t easy to watch episodes of The Late Late Show when Craig was hosting it. Secondly, the only gig I had ever seen him do in the UK happened during the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019 and it just wasn’t possible at that time to do that…

Brooke Combe (+ Alice Faye/Muireann Bradley) – St Luke’s – 23/04/2026
Glasgow has FINALLY hit on a run of warm, sunny weather. Yay! Just in time for two of the best gigs. The first of which happened last night at St Luke’s where Brooke Combe was playing the first of two nights at the venue. I think I had one of my most enjoyable queuing sessions…

In Other News – Ist Ist (Do It again) + The Youth Play – Oran Mor 17/04/2026
Since the release of Dagger in February, Ist Ist have toured in mainland Europe and then have been touring around the UK. Last night they returned to Oran Mor and it was another fantastic show. I met up with Michelle at Non Viet on Great Western Road. We had great food and drink arrived at…

Suzi Quatro – Royal Concert Hall – 07/04/2026
I was absolutely buzzed for the arrival of this day. My late brother, David, was the person that got me into Suzi Quatro. He was a horny 14 year old boy at the time and I was a super impressionable 4 year old girl. This photo right here is one of my most cherished photos…
