May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
The decision was made to have fish and chips at home and take a taxi to the Hydro, for the RMT decided to have a Scotland wide rail strike on the day Roxy Music were playing the OVO Hydro. Up the workers! In all honesty, I am on their side. The weather was forecast to…

Two reviews in as many days and both of them with erroneous information. The first from Goldmine who stated that SM “changed managers” after bringing out Life In A Day. Really? News to me, Goldmine!

THAT’S the title that Record Collector could (or SHOULD) have gone with for their piece on SM in their latest edition. There’s a great interview with Jim in there and … OH MY DAYS! HAPPY KERRSDAY! A Sheila Rock gem inside too (see pic)! A rare one for Sheila to get Jim covered up. Lol….

Sorry it’s a video review but it was the only quick way for me to do it. Needs must and all that. Hope you enjoy my waffling and moaning. Lol WARNING: You’ll see my hagged old face and have to endure my croaky voice and dripping nose. Sorry! To make up for it, there are…
I am starting to warm to the Hydro as a concert venue. The only fly in the ointment left for it is its location. It’s not in the most convenient of locales. It’s beautifully positioned as far as aesthetics go. Sharing its space near the Armadillo, Finnieston crane and with Pacific Quay and the Science…
