May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I am starting to warm to the Hydro as a concert venue. The only fly in the ointment left for it is its location. It’s not in the most convenient of locales. It’s beautifully positioned as far as aesthetics go. Sharing its space near the Armadillo, Finnieston crane and with Pacific Quay and the Science…

I am ssooo looking forward to Friday. After having experienced a concert by one of the most talented songwriters in the world last week, this Friday means another night spent in the presence of one of the world’s best songwriters yet again! How spoiled am I? Neil Finn – in my opinion – does not…
Well, this is just a little bit awesome! Crowded House are gonna have to do a bloody good job next week to get near SM for best gig I’ve experienced (so far!) at the Hydro. Buzzing to see When You Come live though.
What a difference a week can make, eh? I tried to shield the blog from it as much as possible, although it didn’t escape unscathed as my mood last weekend was probably at the worst it had been all year – culminating in a complete anxiety attack and me considering chucking in the whole uni…
Inspiration – right here (see pic of book dedication below). I will think of this for the next few days as I complete my latest assignment for university. It will remind me that I am at the place I have longed to be at right now. “When the other side of midnight calls / remind…
A quick reminder, esp. to those living locally…this will be taking place at the Mitchell Library tonight at 8pm. Looking forward to the talk and meeting up with Graeme in person and having my copy of the book signed. ??? Perhaps I’ll see you there? Tickets are still available as far as I know…(image is…
Some new prints from Virginia arrived today (Middle and right – silver framed. There’s one other not pictured – it’s in landscape ratio and so in the frames on the other side of the room). I’d be happy to gaze upon his beautiful smiling face for eternity. Past or present. Twenty-three or sixty-three. That colour…
I went looking through some of the local papers I have access to online and this one for Tuesday’s gig at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena inside the Nottingham Post was succinctly full of praise. The UK leg of the arena tour comes to an end tonight in Liverpool – followed then by just a single Dublin…

It all started very early. About two and a half years ago, in fact. These two gigs, Aberdeen and Glasgow, were originally scheduled to happen a few months apart. I can’t even remember the original dates now – but I think Glasgow was in April and Aberdeen was for August. Then the shit hit the…

That’s what I’d say if I left a comment. I was crying too, but for different reasons. It’s beautiful when it’s like that. A shame it can’t always be that way… I have to say that the Q and A was odd. We’ve been asked to submit questions via email before the shows and yet…
