The Postcards – Whistlebinkies, Edinburgh – 26 July 2023
We had great fun at our midnight gig at Whistlebinkies last night ! A few of the band had an pre-gig nap but we were on top form, thanks to everyone that came down. We debuted new songs by Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello, definitely getting a late 70s New Wave vibe just now!

The Scars – Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh – 17 June 2023
I remember seeing The Scars a few times back in 78/79 and their first single “Horrorshow”/”Adult/ery” blew me away and remains a favourite of mine ever since. Recently caught up again with guitarist Paul Research and was intrigued to see how the reformed band would work out with original players and Tam Dean Burn on vocals.
This came immediately after watching Scotland football team’s amazing win in Norway from the Roseburn bar, so I was very much the worse for wear, but managed along to catch the start of their set. Paul and the band sounded just great but Tam is an aquired taste I just haven’t aquired. I retired home after half a dozen songs, glad to have seen them but glad not to stay out any longer!

CHVRCHES – Barrowlands, Glasgow – 11 June 2023
A bit over a year since I saw CHVRCHES with Mhairi at the Corn Exchange. They have been touring the Screen Violence album and show for the best part of 2 years and I think this was the last venue show before a last few festivals and a massive well earned rest! Lots of successful fund raising achieved to for the tremendous Refuweegee charity. Great idea and very well done.
This was just as slick and exciting as last time, a well oiled machine of a show, but having a home town crowd in a packed Barrowland Ballroom did make for a more special occasion with plenty of the Glasgow banter! Even though it was hotter than a snakes ass in a wagon rut, I still sang along til hoarse to all my favourite songs. Brilliant!

The Postcards – Whistlebinkies, Edinburgh – 14 May 2023
Our first public gig of the year at @whistlebinkies on Sunday. Why did we leave it so long?
8 new songs including tunes by bands we’ve never played before like New Order, House of Love, Magazine and The Lotus Eaters. Always great fun to play there and thanks to the many folk that came down to see us!

Hanley & The Baird – O2 Academy, Baron Suite, Edinburgh – 5 May 2023
Great fun at the Sing In The City Awards party 2023. We do nights out like no others! 350 members, our biggest award party yet, 14 awards, Hanley and the Baird band, what a night!

Quasi – Broadcast, Glasgow – 3 May 2023
Being such a massive fan of Sleater-Kinney it’s inexplicable that I never managed to see them until after drummer Janet Weiss left the band. She is my drums hero and I thought I might never get to see her play … until now. So excited to be right at the front to experience her and Sam Coombes deliver a powerhouse set to a packed and enthusiastic Glasgow crowd.
I managed to climb down off Cloud 9 just in time for a quick chat, selfie and poster purchase afterwards. What a night. Life (almost) complete. Wonderful!
