I have been looking into various acts that I could either go and see later in the year or who I could see within the next several weeks. The gigs I have coming up are non-existent for April (my one April gig – Sarah Brown in Edinburgh – has been cancelled. Goddamn!) but I do…

Had a lovely afternoon out in the West End yesterday, by Kelvinbridge. Looked in this posh home decor place called Galletly Tubbs. Lovely stuff, but OH MY WORD – the prices! A place for window shopping ONLY, for us riff raff! Lol Then went and had some food at Sips And Baker further along the…
