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…

There has been news from The Anchoress over the past 24 hours. Her third studio album titled As We Once Were is set for release on Last Night From Glasgow in early August. There are various formats and bundles available, including a cassette! The ‘absolutely everything’ bundle has already sold out, but there is plenty…

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…

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…
You may have noticed a new addition to my list of gigs for 2026. One just added today. It’s all come about very unexpectedly. You see, recently when I have been awoken in the early hours and struggle to get back to sleep, I’ve been reaching for Spotify to play me some music. In doing…

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…

This goes for an hour – so you can watch it in chunks, or choose not to watch it at all. It’s not imperative. I just felt like doing this for a change. I felt like talking…lord knows why. It was attempt number two as the one I filmed yesterday felt crap. Ha ha. This…
