It had been almost nine months to the day since first seeing Hamish Hawk perform Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol. 0 at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Myself and the OH enjoyed so much that we’d wish we could have gone back the following night to see it all over again. So when…

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…

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…
Glasgow has FINALLY hit on a run of warm, sunny weather. Yay! Just in time for two of the best gigs. The first of which happened last night at St Luke’s where Brooke Combe was playing the first of two nights at the venue. I think I had one of my most enjoyable queuing sessions…

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…

I absolutely made the best decision to sell on my Geese ticket and make space in my schedule for Lemon Drink. It was everything I was hoping it would be. A great relaxed atmosphere filled with people looking to have a great time but not going “overboard” as I had feared would be the case…

Some weeks back I bought a ticket for Geese at the Barras. All the music mags had their 2025 album as THE album of the year – not necessarily all placed at number one, but many had it placed within the top five. I listened to the album, and quite enjoyed it and decided to…

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…

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…
