The Postcards – Stereo, Glasgow – 26 April 2025

We had a blast playing at Stereo on Saturday – our favourite Glasgow venue. Thanks to all the folk that came down (200 of you!) that helped to raise close on £2k for Beatson Cancer Charity .Tonight’s set featured an Impromptu “Ziggy Stardust” as a birthday gift from the band to our Neil. 🥳 Thanks also to Trash Tapes and Riverside Ghosts for their excellent support sets.

ADHD – A-Trane, Berlin – 21 March 2025

I had wanted to see the amazing Icelandic jazz quarter ADHD for many years. They tour mainly in Europe, not UK … so a few days in Berlin seemed like a great idea! So glad I went – such spectacular music in a cool venue and the guys were really great to chat to afterwards. “Welcome to Jazz Club – ‘Wunderbar!'”

Emiliana Torrini – Assai Instore, Glasgow – 2 March 2025

So glad I travelled through to see the Glasgow film festival showing of Emiliana’s lovely film ‘The Extraordinary Miss Flower’. It is a great peice of cinema with a fabulous story including the music from her new album of the same title. Best of all we were treated to an intimate acoustic performance of a few songs at the nearby Assai Records store. Nice to chat to Chris (Man Of Moon) too.

I’ve always loved Emiliana’s music. It means a lot to me, ‘Fisherman’s Woman’ being an all time favourite album. Been all over to see her many times. But to hear her sing so beautifully up so close (and my favourite song … ‘Sunny Road’) and get to chat and selfie afterward … heavenly! Gxx

Lauren Mayberry – Assai Records, Edinburgh – 9 Dec 2024

An ‘In-store’ appearance to promote Lauren’s new solo album ‘Vicious Creature’ and upcoming tour. Sang a few songs and was interviewed by Vic Galloway. I’m a big fan of CHVRCHES so was delighted to see her. But I’m not so sure her solo songs are my cup of tea. Still might go see her at La Belle Angele.

The Letting Go – Leith Depot, Edinburgh – 6 Dec 2024

Great to catch my great friends (including 3 Postcards) playing their original songs. Definitely more polished and confident now and can’t wait for their highly anticipated debut album.

Last minute decision to join pals to see LA band Dummy. Interesting and enjoyed, but not very memorable for me.

Always wanted to see the Mods and this was an amazing opportunity to catch them not in a huge venue. Great fun and a packed in crowd were understandably enthusiastic. Magic!
