Our first time at the Bungalow, a great, dedicated live music venue. We had a blast in a tremendous location with a busy and receptive audience supporting the impressive Southmartins. Chris was away on holiday so we had to manage for the first time as a 4 piece band … and after careful choice of songs, we more than got away with it! Went down a storm and really enjoyed our 11 song set. I’m sure we will be back for more to let Chris experience the wonderful Bungalow! No live pics or video unfortunately … next time!

Thanks to Phil Ramsay for hosting and all who enjoyed our impromptu wee set including a few newies and rarities!

Thanks to so many of our friends and new fans who came to see my band The Postcards in our first full sized headlining gig at the marvellous Old Hairdresser’s. We have put a lot of work in this year and it was fun and rewarding to manage a set of 19 songs. More rewarding was the fantastic reaction we got, so much love in the room for these old songs played by these old codgers. Looking forward to more of the same in 2019 with many more of our favourite songs, ‘the songs that saved our lives’!

Thanks so much to the marvellous Romarzs for hosting my band The Postcards at the lovely Butterfly Trust event on Sat. Delighted how drummer Simon fitted in and sounded fantastic, with No Rehearsal! Thanks, and Bravo! Super fun with other great bands Little Love and The Friendly Vibes and Casper Heyzeus. Well done all! Enjoy videos and pics from our short but perfectly formed set.

This is not really a review, because I was actually in the band playing the bass guitar!  My first proper gig since Oct 1989! I’ve been so lucky to hook up with a great bunch, not only smart, fun people, but great musicians, who share my passion for the indie music of our youth and take great delight in re-interpreting those songs. I couldn’t be more chuffed with how well it’s turning out.

I’ve only been in the band for weeks it seems, but we managed to get a strong 10 song set together to play at a fund raising event for the wonderful ‘Dads Rock Academy’. ‘Dads Rock Academy (Facebook page) is Scotland’s first and only rock academy for young people and their parents. It offers weekly rock band tuition to kids and their dads, as well as giving them a free instrument whilst they attend the academy.  Dads Rock Academy is open for young people aged 7-16 years to attend.  The idea is that the families learn together, having a shared experience of learning how to rock!’

All went well with our set and the whole night was a joy, and to see so many aspiring musicians, young and not so young, start out in there live musical journeys was a privilege. Thanks so much to everybody who put so much into the event and gave us such a lovely welcome. We do need more rehearsal time of course, but we really enjoyed it and the few videos taken don’t look all that bad. Thanks to the video and photo takers especially Grant Dickson. See more on our new Facebook Page. which I encourage you all to like and set following to ‘see first’! 😉
