Hamish Headlines at the Harbour
Another new show for the calendar. Until recently, my gig calendar was looking quite sparse from July onwards but that’s starting to change now. Firstly, due to the recent announcement of Zoe Graham’s two headline shows in Edinburgh and Glasgow (I have Glasgow booked and will book Edinburgh when finances allow). Secondly, the news via…
Warm Digits – Andrew Hodson Interview

The festival is taking place at PopRecs in Sunderland on Saturday 26 April – tickets are available HERE It’s an all-ages, neurodivergent-friendly festival. It’ll be great fun. The boys are…
Yesterday was TENT Day! Zoe Graham Album Launch – Assai Glasgow
If you’ve been following the blog for the past several months, then you’ll be aware that I’ve become an ardent fan and follower of artist Zoe Graham. I first clapped eyes on her at the Echo and the Bunnymen show at Kelvingrove Bandstand last year – and I hate to disparage the Bunnymen but Zoe…

Juanita Stein (+ Raff and Kirsten Adamson) – Nice N’ Sleazy 18/3/2025
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…

Hamish Hawk (+ Redolent and Withered Hand) – Usher Hall, Edinburgh 22/02/2025
The sun shone on Leith yesterday as Saturday had a day-long reprieve from an otherwise very damp and windy weekend. It was also sunny in Glasgow so Sue and I made the most of the good weather by going to the Rebels and Renegades photo exhibition at the Street Level Photoworks at 103 Trongate. I…

The Thrill Of It All
Interesting that Mr Kerr was talking about the positives of live music in a post yesterday. Talking about AI and money spent to appear human – I’ll bite my tongue until it bleeds …. the irony being it was a glorified plug for their shows, written for Jim – I mean they may have been…
Hamish Hawk (+ Amelia Coburn) – Digital, Newcastle 12/02/2025
My apologies for the delay with this review. It may be a little shorter than usual…perhaps not. We’ll see? I travelled down to Newcastle by train during the afternoon. The usual quickest route is firstly to go to Edinburgh on the express train from Queen Street and then on the LNER Azuma service to London….

Field Music – Oran Mor, Glasgow – 02/02/2025
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…

Prip’s World This Week – w/e 9 November 2024
I felt as if I should have turned the major part of this week’s post into a review but decided against it and turn it into a more generalised post. Gig reviews are now starting to feel a little superfluous – especially as now my gigging days are growing a little more sparse. With that…
