May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Sorry for the vid – I felt like dissecting it all this way instead of taking hours to compile a written post. I know the vlog posts aren’t to everyone’s liking, so to save you the pain, the condensed summary is: Yes & Maybe – great! Hamish Hawk – you know I can wax lyrical…

Last week I had seen that Suzi Quatro would be out on the road touring in 2026. For the past few years I have really wanted to go and see her. She was my very first musical hero, back when I was a wee wean. She hasn’t been to Scotland for her past couple of…

Another act on the Bellahouston Park bill was announced this morning. A duo called Yes & Maybe; comprising one Glaswegian and one Parisian. You can find out more about them on their website HERE They only recently performed a show at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow, on 10 May. Can’t say I’ve ever…
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 really don’t think it is hyperbole to state that this show had been one of the most highly anticipated – especially for Scottish fans of The Anchoress – for some time. The last time Catherine had played solo in Glasgow was at the Royal Concert Hall in 2017 as support for Simple Minds on…

I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the wonderfully talented Zoe Graham earlier this week. We discussed her recently released debut album, TENT, covering tracks on the album, the production process and other aspects of her career to date. Zoe also talks about her headline shows coming up in September – she’ll be playing at…
It was quite the ‘chill’ affair last night for a ‘school night’ gig. After seeing Juanita support Travis at the Hydro at the end of last year, both Michelle and I were keen to see her in her own right. I headed into the city in the late afternoon. I do try and save costs…

Another day, another gig announcement! This time it is the long-awaited return to Glasgow of The Anchoress. To celebrate her signing with label Last Night From Glasgow there is (of course) the impending release of her original recorded material from 2011, Communion. The album gets a release on vinyl for the first time. It is…
It’s a rarity for me to be going to a gig on a Sunday night, and much like buses – my Sunday night gigs have arrived in twos. Last night it was the much-anticipated Field Music at Oran Mor. I decided to head to the city to ride the subway in time before the last…
