May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
News of a Caezar gig towards the end of November was revealed today. Joe and JJ will be playing Saint Luke’s on November 23rd, with King Of Birds once again as support. I couldn’t turn back round after two weeks to make their date in February but I’ll pull out all the stops to try…
Upon recommendation by sound engineer extraordinaire, Olivier Gerard (aka GG) – I present to you, Whispering Sons. Currently on tour in the UK. I just missed out seeing them in Bristol. The play Glasgow tonight. And as Sod’s law would have it, they play The Lexington on Saturday, but I’m seeing Stewart Copeland that night….

Support was by E.B. the Younger – the moniker of Midlake vocalist Eric Pulido, soon to release his solo debut. Now THERE’S the connection – John, of course, working with Midlake for his Queen Of Denmark debut. Eric was joined on stage by keyboardist Dan. The pair of them have great vocal harmonies. He performed…
I wasn’t sure when the gig was meant to start, despite a 7.30pm time on the FB page. There was a support act which I sadly missed. I also missed the opportunity to get a good photo, at least to show where I was sitting – but it’s all about the music, right? And, well…what…

I had been lucky enough to get myself a free ticket to see a recording of The Afternoon Show on BBC Radio Scotland yesterday morning. I knew Grant Stott would be presenting the show, and there would most likely be live music, but that was all I knew. The Cottiers was packed out for the…
