I’m such a big fan of Emiliana, even drove to Brighton to see her last tour, so I was intrigued by this collaboration with The Colorist Orchestra so just had to travel to London to see for myself. The set … Continue reading

Charlie Cunningham – Sneaky Pete’s, Edinburgh – 7 Feb 2017
I was seduced into coming along mainly by Charlie’s beautiful classical style guitar playing and his intelligent songs. That was exactly what we got but maybe I wasn’t in the right mood since I wasn’t wowed. Seemed to be nice … Continue reading

My 2016 Music Review
2016 has been a pretty dodgy year in many respects, but not in gigs for me … another good one! Aurora at the Art School in Glasgow stands out among some pretty special ones. I wasn’t expecting to be so … Continue reading
Living Body – Sneaky Pete’s, Edinburgh – 18 Dec 2016
I heard about Living Body through Katie Harkin (Sky Larkin, Sleater-Kinney). Though she was on their album she is not in the band now, but I trusted her good taste and that was a good move! I was really impressed. … Continue reading

Yoko Pwno – Teviot Row, Edinburgh – 8 Dec 2016
I must catch more of the ‘Underground Live’ shows at Teviot Row if this great set from Yoko Pwno was anything to go by. The mainly instrumental combination of EDM with twin violins playing some traditional sounding melodies works surprisingly … Continue reading
