May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Yesterday was a very special day for my uni study journey. It was the first time I had been to a face-to-face tutorial. There was an opportunity to attend one last year when this current module I’m on was under way – but, if you may remember (not sure I mentioned it), it was taking…

First off is Holyrood High showing off its new piano which a “substantial donation” from Jim and Charlie afforded the school to get a higher standard of kit than they were initially able to target themselves. It’s been imaginatively decorated, extolling the talent that has emerged from the city and surrounds over the decades with…
Hello, hello, hello! This looks nice, eh?!
This year’s RSD takes place on Saturday April 18th. There are some things that have piqued my interest, pictured below. There is also a Steven Wilson mixes edition of Roxy Music’s eponymous debut album. For me, Field Music and kd Lang’s All You Can Eat and Drag would be lovely on vinyl. I used to…
