Priptona Talks – To Bruce Findlay: Part One
It’s the summer of 1978. Simple Minds have been alive and kicking for several months. Jim Kerr and David Henderson (sometimes with Graffiti record store manager Scott MacArthur in tow), during days between Simple Minds’ weekly residency at the Mars Bar, go knocking on doors trying to drum up record company interest, handing over a…

Hedging My Bets, Trev…
It wasn’t until very late last night did I realise that tickets for the Trevor Horn Reimagines The Eighties Tour at the end of July/beginning of August had gone on pre-sale yesterday. And in the overtly hopeful notion that Jim and Charlie (and quite possibly even Mick MacNeil – for the first show, at least)…
Thanks For The Mammaries
He loves flashing his titties…I love him flashing his titties…everyone’s a winner! ??? Apart from given absolute free rein to ogle over Kerr titties, it’s actually a fab piece. Thanks, Sir…just…don’t be a stranger, eh? I miss you too much when you’re gone for long periods.
Priptona Talks – To Jaine Henderson: Part Two
Here is part two of my interview with Jaine Henderson. Sometimes things were not without some bizarre set of dangers, like the time Jaine found herself a hair’s breadth away from being jailed for “possession of a concealed weapon”. Lights would fuse. Wires would fray. Things needed repairing on the spot and the easiest way…

Review: John Grant at Celtic Connections – King’s Theatre, Glasgow – Feb 1st, 2019
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…
Review: The Bard’s Tale IV – Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow – January 31st, 2019
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…

Review: Loudon Wainwright III at Celtic Connections – Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow – Jan 30th 2019
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…
Review: Massive Attack – SSE Hydro, Glasgow – Jan 28th, 2019
First gig of the year could not have been more epic and compelling. Due on stage at 8.30pm but fashionably late – the lights in the Hydro switched off about 8.45. The crowd went nuts… but they made us wait just a bit longer. Incredible from the get go. You’d have thought someone just put…

The 60’s Paisley Print Kaftan
This dress is bloody gorgeous. Proper vintage from the 1960s. I have dreamed of having a piece of vintage clothing for the longest time and when I found this dress – and it fitted me – I died! I *had* to have it! I have owned it for a year, and have never worn it…
