Yes & Maybe, Baby?
Another act on the Bellahouston Park bill was announced this morning. A duo called Yes & Maybe; comprising one Glaswegian and one Parisian. You can find out more about them on their website HERE They only recently performed a show at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow, on 10 May. Can’t say I’ve ever…
Kerr-Plug
On Friday, STV will be airing an interviewed recorded with Jim Kerr on their What’s on Scotland program at 7pm BST. A big old plug for the show at Bellahouston Park it seems. Very kind of STV to oblige in such a way. More news on the interview after airing. Stay tuned…
A Spin Of Nostalgia
I have vinyl listening sessions when the mood takes me. I usually listen to two or three albums in a session. For yesterday’s session I had the firm idea of listening to Hamish Hawk’s Heavy Elevator and from there I was going to see where the mood took me. Most likely a David Bowie album…
The Anchoress Rocks, Stuns and Shines in Glasgow
I really don’t think it is hyperbole to state that this show had been one of the most highly anticipated – especially for Scottish fans of The Anchoress – for some time. The last time Catherine had played solo in Glasgow was at the Royal Concert Hall in 2017 as support for Simple Minds on…

Ist Ist On Fire In Edinburgh and the Stag And Dagger Mixed Bag
This post is going to be an amalgam of two gigs that I attended over the weekend(ish). The first gig I went to was to see Ist Ist at The Caves in Edinburgh last Thursday. It’s a venue I hadn’t been to before. Easy to get to from Waverley station. The Caves is located towards…

Vinyl Revival – In My Room
Even though I have still been purchasing vinyl when finances have allowed, I haven’t listened to vinyl much at all over the past few years. We have one turntable in the house, a Rega Planar 3 that my Other Half bought in 1983, back in the days where there was no such thing as “designed…
Priptona Talks – To Zoe Graham
I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the wonderfully talented Zoe Graham earlier this week. We discussed her recently released debut album, TENT, covering tracks on the album, the production process and other aspects of her career to date. Zoe also talks about her headline shows coming up in September – she’ll be playing at…
Yesterday was TENT Day! Zoe Graham Album Launch – Assai Glasgow
If you’ve been following the blog for the past several months, then you’ll be aware that I’ve become an ardent fan and follower of artist Zoe Graham. I first clapped eyes on her at the Echo and the Bunnymen show at Kelvingrove Bandstand last year – and I hate to disparage the Bunnymen but Zoe…
