Book Appearances Update – Details for London!

Book Appearances Update – Details for London!

Details for London’s appearance have landed, with JK and CB in conversation with Mariella Sometimes. Taking place at the British Library on Tuesday 21 October at 7pm.

Toppings Appearance in Edinburgh – UPDATE 19/09/25 – It’s back, again (but for how long?) NEW DATE/VENUE

UPDATE 19/09/2025: Thanks to Scott for the heads up on the change of date to the event. It’s now taking place (at least for now!) on Monday 20 October at a different venue. If memory serves me well, it’s the same venue where Graeme Thomson was in conversation with Bruce Findlay back in August 2022….

Release Date for Kerr/Burchill Memoir Our Secrets Are The Same

Prip’s World This Week – w/e 19 October 2024

Prip’s World This Week – w/e 19 October 2024

This blog is growing seriously stagnant. As well as that, with the book taking up much of my creative writing time I’ve hardly done any other writing. I need to actively get back on the saddle to get my mind thinking about the avenues of writing that I will be getting involved in – namely…

Direction Of The Heart – Prip’s Verdict

Direction Of The Heart – Prip’s Verdict

The clock ticked past midnight. I was feeling quite tired. I forced myself to stay awake as I really didn’t want to miss the opportunity to give Direction Of The Heart a listen upon its release. I had waited long enough and through not being privy to being allowed to review it prior to release,…

DOTH – Classic Rock Review

DOTH – Classic Rock Review

Backhandedly complimentary? Well, for a 6/10 it’s more kindly written than the Mojo review, I feel. It reads not too dissimilar to Electronic Sound’s review, yet ES does not give album ratings – which is very canny of them! Anyway…I think overall it is good, despite the rating saying otherwise.

Hallelujah Electronic Sound! DOTH Review

Hallelujah Electronic Sound! DOTH Review

No factual inaccuracies. No cattiness. Just straight out positivity and constructive critique. If I were Jim and…
