May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
This was my first chance of seeing a full headline set from Zoe, having previously seen her in support slots for Echo and the Bunnymen and Lo Moon, as well as attending her in-store set and signing at Assai Records in Glasgow. As you may have seen from my list of upcoming gigs I was…

He had been alluding to something else to come shortly after the performances of Life in a Scotch Sitting Room Vol. 0 but kept us guessing with the whys and wherefores then dropped a teaser yesterday.

I had a more laidback night out than perhaps some of the more recent nights out I’ve had during the summer. The gig in question was not on the agenda for me until a few weeks back. My friend Ronnie McGhie invited me along as his ‘plus one’ for the show. The show in question…

Kerr talks Bellahouston Park, biggest gig highlight and life in Sicily. (Click to view video on home page.)
On Friday, STV will be airing an interviewed recorded with Jim Kerr on their What’s on Scotland program at 7pm BST. A big old plug for the show at Bellahouston Park it seems. Very kind of STV to oblige in such a way. More news on the interview after airing. Stay tuned…
I can’t help how I feel. For the most part now I am staying quiet because as soon as a speak my mind and express how I feel I get all the crap retorts of akin to “I don’t hear what you hear,” “Just be lucky to get what you’re getting – they’re not getting…
