The Anchoress Rocks, Stuns and Shines in Glasgow

The Anchoress Rocks, Stuns and Shines in Glasgow

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…

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

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

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…

Hamish Hawk (+ Amelia Coburn) – Digital, Newcastle 12/02/2025

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….

Hamish Hawk (+ Redolent) – The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen – 09/02/2025

Hamish Hawk (+ Redolent) – The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen – 09/02/2025

I’m not sure I can offer up anything else about this man and his band. You’d have had to be living under a rock or you just happen to be a first-time visitor to this blog not to have noticed what an impact Hamish Hawk has had upon me over the past two years in…

Pleasantly Disturbed Is More Than A “Pleasant” Read!

Pleasantly Disturbed Is More Than A “Pleasant” Read!

I don’t want you to get the wrong impression from the book’s title. It’s not all about Simple Minds! Neither is it completely devoid of Simple Minds content. One check at the number of the times Jim Kerr is mentioned within its pages will attest to the liberal smattering Simple Minds appears throughout. The novel’s…

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

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…

Justin’s Just A Fanboy Of Field Music

Justin’s Just A Fanboy Of Field Music

Peter and David Brewis became aware of this quite quickly – and why not? The guys were flattered to see Justin Hawkins go all new fawning fanboy over their music and so they should. I should think there is no finer accolade than a musician appreciating and showing enthusiasm for follow musicians’ musical prowess and…

Travis (+ Hamish Hawk and Juanita Stein) – OVO Hydro – 21/12/24

Travis (+ Hamish Hawk and Juanita Stein) – OVO Hydro – 21/12/24

Well, I did wonder if I might have jumped the gun with doing a blog post about my favourite gigs of 2024 before all my gigs of 2024 had been complete. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy! Events leading up to it hadn’t been so great. My gig buddy for the show, Sue, had been dreaming…

Orwell – A New Approach To Simple Minds That Will Have You ‘Coming Up for Air’

Orwell – A New Approach To Simple Minds That Will Have You ‘Coming Up for Air’

It was an Instagram story on Graeme Thomson’s account that first made me aware of the existence of Orwell. He had been sent a vinyl copy of Simple Minded, with its wonderfully stylised artwork – a subtle but very obvious homage to the Sons and Fascination album cover. I was impressed by its look and…
