Hamish was one of the highlights of that glorious weekend last August seeing the two Simple Minds gigs at Princes Street Gardens. Michelle and I enjoyed his set so much that night that we made it our mission to see him live in his own right at the earliest opportunity. In the interim, I listened…
Deep in study as usual at the moment (more on that at University and Unicorns – I’d appreciate it if you’re that way inclined, to read my latest post there titled ‘The Creative Spark’), but taking the day off as I am seeing Hamish Hawk at St Luke’s tonight. Really excited for this gig. Cannae…

As you might have been able to tell from a few of the new Christmas themed banners that have appeared on the blog, I am trying to give it a bit of a spruce and a rejig. It’s going to be the slow end of the year. Jim’s gone quiet now. There’s been time for…
