The Twilight Sad (+ Theo Bleak, Deary) – Barrowland Ballroom – 06/05/2026
I decided it was a good idea to head on down earlier than I normally would for a queue wait. Not too much earlier, mind. I had to be mindful of how much time I’d spend on my feet. I was hopeful that it being the second of the two shows and it not being…

Saint Sappho – Between The Lines Album Launch – Assai Records, Glasgow – 02/05/2026
The weather has been wonderful in Glasgow lately. It was finally feeling like spring had arrived. But nothing lasts forever, and certainly that is true of sunny, warm conditions afforded this fair city. We were back to type – grey skies and the constant threat of rain (if not actual precipitation). It was an early…
In Other News – Ist Ist (Do It again) + The Youth Play – Oran Mor 17/04/2026
Since the release of Dagger in February, Ist Ist have toured in mainland Europe and then have been touring around the UK. Last night they returned to Oran Mor and it was another fantastic show. I met up with Michelle at Non Viet on Great Western Road. We had great food and drink arrived at…

Suzi Quatro – Royal Concert Hall – 07/04/2026
I was absolutely buzzed for the arrival of this day. My late brother, David, was the person that got me into Suzi Quatro. He was a horny 14 year old boy at the time and I was a super impressionable 4 year old girl. This photo right here is one of my most cherished photos…

The Twilight Sad – Assai Edinburgh – Instore and Signing – 01/04/2026
It was a dreich old day on Wednesday in Glasgow. It wasn’t much better in Edinburgh.

I Keep Promising Myself…
… to listen to the CDs I have purchased over the past couple of months – but have I? Nope! Today was going to be yet another one of these ‘magical’ days where I’d devote time to sitting and listening and enjoying some music that wasn’t a snatch of 20 minutes on Spotify before falling…
Ist Ist – Dagger (Album Launch) – The Caves, Edinburgh – 9/2/2026
It doesn’t feel like it’s been less than a year since I first saw Ist Ist at The Caves but it was indeed back on May 1st last year that I had my first taste of Ist Ist live. I had loved the experience so much that I then bought a ticket to the rescheduled…

Back To The Beginning … of The Enz
There really aren’t very many artists or bands from the distant past that I would sell a kidney to see. I know there is a HUGE desire amongst music fans to see Rush (these days only Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson since Neil Peart’s passing several years ago) on tour this year. Tickets are going…
