The Best of 2025 – Part 2: Album of the Year, Podcasts and YouTube Channels

The Best of 2025 – Part 2: Album of the Year, Podcasts and YouTube Channels

YOUTUBE CHANNELS Last night as I was thinking about what I was going to say for this second part of my ‘Best of 2025’ I realised that although I don’t watch television and I have only seen ONE new release film in 2025, what I DO watch is YouTube content. It is one of my…

The Best of 2025 – Part 1: Gig of the Year and Single of the Year

The Best of 2025 – Part 1: Gig of the Year and Single of the Year

I think I am going to find this a hard thing to do! So I think I’ll get the easier stuff out the way first. Thinking about all of the arts and culture there are things that I don’t partake in much, if at all. I don’t watch television, so it’s going to be hard…

Del Amitri – Barrowland Ballroom – 23/12/2025

Del Amitri – Barrowland Ballroom – 23/12/2025

I know! It’s Christmas Day…go figure! What else am I going to do today? Take a walk? Eat myself silly (very tempting…don’t even get me started)? Anyway…this might be a short review. Then again, that could be famous last words for when have I ever written a SHORT review? Lol. All the peripherals out the…

Hamish Hawk (+ Goodnight Louisa & Cloth) – Barrowland Ballroom – 11/12/2025

Hamish Hawk (+ Goodnight Louisa & Cloth) – Barrowland Ballroom – 11/12/2025

I’ve been sitting on this post for days because, well, I’m just trying so hard to concentrate on my studies between the points when I come away from it for a gig and a couple of days off. Then I am straight back to it. When to find the time? Also, what else can I…

Ist Ist Album Launch in Edinburgh and Hamish Hawk Album Reviews

Ist Ist Album Launch in Edinburgh and Hamish Hawk Album Reviews

A bit of a double bill of info for this post. The first was the announcement by Ist Ist on their social media over the weekend of some album launch shows over the country during the week of the release of their forthcoming album, Dagger. I had to check and see if any were taking…

Ist Ist (+ Yaang) – Oran Mor – 29/11/2025

Ist Ist (+ Yaang) – Oran Mor – 29/11/2025

A rare dry night for Glasgow at this time of year. Fantastic. Nothing suits me more. I very easily get put off by attending gigs when the weather is shite. It had been pretty shite for the 48 hours leading up to it. Through Thursday night and into Friday it had been blowing a hoolie,…

Rainy Days and Soothside Sundays – A Do at The Citz

Rainy Days and Soothside Sundays – A Do at The Citz

It was a busy weekend. On Saturday morning Sue arrived and during the afternoon we headed into the city to go to the Mitchell Library for an event. It was called ‘Love Letters to a Murder.’ The main aspect of it was a ‘In Conversation’ talk between the author of a fictionalised account of the…

Warm Digits – Star and Shadow (Newcastle Weekender) – 11/10/2025

Warm Digits – Star and Shadow (Newcastle Weekender) – 11/10/2025

Oh, there is so much to dissect with what happened last weekend but there is so little time! After our return home on Monday night both Tuesday and Wednesday I tried to get more reading of the Glesga Twins’ book done. I’m now just over half-way through with not much of a chance to read…

Goodnight Louisa – Instore + Signing at Assai, Glasgow – 26/09/25

Goodnight Louisa – Instore + Signing at Assai, Glasgow – 26/09/25

I must state from the off that I was unaware of Goodnight Louisa until earlier this year. I first became aware of Louise McCraw (aka Goodnight Louisa) when she was part of Zoe Graham’s band at the album launch event for TENT back in March. Louise is making her own strides in music as a…

Some Succinct Reviews Are In!

Some Succinct Reviews Are In!

I’ve been keeping an eye out on the book review sections of the music magazines to see if and how they’re rating Our Secrets Are The Same. So far, there have been two reviews. Uncut concentrated on Blitz as their feature book with the Kerr/Burchill offering relegated to the “also ran” bullet-point rating of 8/10….
