Jim Talks To Ewen Cameron
Sir, in phone conversation with Ewen Cameron on his Breakfast show this morning. Will there be a tour of Scotland next year? A phrase about the pope and some bears springs to mind…
Why I Love…Oh Jungleland
Glasgow is now a city I am longing to live in. The first time I visited Glasgow was in November, 2016. I felt an instant affiliation with the place. It had been many years I had wanted to visit Scotland’s most populous city. My first (and subsequently ONLY one up until that point) visit to…
Glasgow Weekender – Linda McCartney Retrospective – Part Two
After not a super long but very solid night’s sleep, I awoke to see…although an overcast sky, high clouds and dry conditions. It seemed promising. I looked at the forecast which seemed to say although it was dry now (around 8am), it wasn’t going to last and it would be a dodge of sunshine and…

What’s To Come – The Gig For The Second Half Of The Year
Things have been pretty quiet gigwise since The Stranglers and Stewart Copeland gigs at the end of March. I had wanted to see Michael Rother in London, but it was too soon after the previous two gigs mentioned for me to go. Too skint too. Had to knock trying to get to Mott The Hoople…

Boy On Film
I upgraded one of my art apps a few days ago. The previous Prip piece was done incorporating one of the new settings now available to me. Of course I start off a new piece tonight thinking I’d use more of the new things available to me. Nope! Much like the muse I doggedly work…
