Thanks to all at the amazing Bungalow who sang and danced along to our set to end the charity music day in support of the brilliant ACCORD Hospice.

Do Nothing – Sneaky Pete’s, Edinburgh – 24 Sept 2023
I’ve seen Do Nothing a couple of times before and really like their sardonic and more interesting take instead of the myriad cliched indie/post-punk bands out there. Not so sure about new album songs but live they are always a great experience. And a packed and boiling hot Sneaky Pete’s crowd, like me, thought they were worthy of much laudation!

The Postcards – Scarecrow Festival, Bothwell – 9 Sept 2023
A perfect festival day out at Bothwell Scarecrow Festival today. A sunny day, a big crowd and loads of families enjoying themselves.
A 9 song set with back to back bangers and most of us were pleased to see “Somewhere In My Heart” make a rare appearance:)
Thanks to all the Festival folk for looking after us, especially Jim, Stevie and the brilliant sound crew. We hope to return one day 🙂

BC Camplight – Summerhall, Edinburgh – 25 Aug 2023
Love Brian Christinzio and his awesome band. Always catch him when in Edinburgh and not disappointed this time too. He’s building up a following thanks to more exposure, lots of 6 music types here including us, and is now getting the recognition and success his clever songs and powerful performances deserve.

Amyl & The Sniffers – O2 Academy, Edinburgh – 17 Aug 2023
I think everyone should experience the boundless energy and enthusiasm of Amyl & The Sniffers at least once! I love their attitude and Amy’s livewire, non-stop bouncing, as well as smart lyrics and audience engagement.
I like a bit of straight up punk too, but this set is a bit limited and samey to my mind. Felt longer than it actually was, though a packed, sweaty crowd went understandably mental. So, once is enough for me!
Support band Cable Ties were great, I enjoyed them the most, must see again.

Devo – O2 Academy, Edinburgh – 17 Aug 2023
Hard to believe Devo are still doing it, let alone as brilliantly as they did tonight given their very advanced years. This is the last ever tour, celebrating 50 years of ‘de-evolution’. Ticket prices were insane, which explained the half full venue, but I just had to go. And I’m so glad I did. All the classics and my favourite songs delivered with just as much quality and energy as ever, especially by stalwarts Mark, Gerry and Bob 1. How do they do it? Well done spud boys, enjoy your retirement!

First Aid Kit – O2 Academy, Edinburgh – 16 Aug 2023
My 10th time seeing the brilliant Klara & Johanna, and though I saw effectively the same show late last year, I just had to catch them in Edinburgh again.

The Postcards – Merchants Hall, Edinburgh – 14 Aug 2023
We had a blast playing at The ‘A Club’ at Merchants Hall in Edinburgh last night. Our first all seater/table service show! Two sets of indie bangers and, if you look closely, a walkabout singer….
Thanks to our followers, friends and family who came to see us! We are taking a wee break and then back for 2 gigs in the west in September!

The Postcards – The Glad Cafe, Glasgow – 12 Aug 2023
It was great to be back at The Glad Cafe in Glasgow last night. Someone must have turned on the heating as it was unbelievably hot! Being in Glasgow we had to play Orange Juice’s ‘Dying Day’ which was from the Postcards Records era from where we took our name. £600 raised for The RISE Collective , thanks to everyone that came down.
Cheers also to John Alexander and The Standard Grades – 90s Acoustic Cover Band for playing 2 great sets as well!
