Happy 41st Anniversary To A Live Kerr And Burchill!
It was 41 years ago today (an Easter Monday evening) that a newly formed punk outfit called Johnny And The Self Abusers took the the stage at Doune Castle in Glasgow.

Minds Music Monday – Careful In Career, Live – Tiffany’s, 1981
A bridge version split somewhere between the demo that can be sampled on Silver Box and what gets recorded for the Sister Feelings Call album…this is the only known live recording of SM performing Careful In Career.

Live Review Of The Month – Classic Pop, April, 2018 – Barrowland, Glasgow
Four star review of the SM gig at Barras. This Earth That You Walk Upon was DEFINITELY a big lighlight for me. I’d give Manchester an extra star for the full five! It was sublime!
36 HOURS TO GO!
Not that I’m counting or anything…

A fully vegan eatery. The food was DELICIOUS! And very affordable! I had the “hog roll”…made with a pork style vegetable protein, of course. Served…

The Sherbet Straws Slam!
I’m not sure I can put it all into words. I’ve had about 4 hours sleep and feel absolutely ratted! It was a whirlwind visit. Glasgow was wonderfully sunny for both days…but freezing. Had an amazing hot chocolate with the HUGEST marshmallow on top and the most BLISSFUL banoffee doughnut from Tantrum…OMG! A lovely visit…
