Eartha Kitt, then aged 33, was photographed cosying up to the George Square Christmas tree 65 years ago this very day, ahead of her three-week run at the Glasgow Empire. Perhaps she was looking for her very own Santa Baby? Pic: Newsquest

Manchester music and football stars gather for funeral of Stone Roses’ Mani

You have to feel a bit sorry for the Celtic Board. They've appointed a guy whose sole qualification for the job is that his name fits into Wham's 'Last Christmas' and no-one is going to be singing it today.

This is an act of cultural vandalism by BBC Scotland.

“Scrapping these freeform cultural spaces is not a tidy schedule change, it is pulling away a piece of the foundation of music in this country." Thank you @janekbradley.bsky.social great piece in The Scotsman about the open letter to the BBC. Read the full story: tr.ee/eOv4E2 @ionafyfe.bsky.social

PLEASE KEEP SHARING - the press are listening "Dear BBC Radio Scotland, We are musicians from Scotland... there is one thing we share. It was BBC Radio Scotland late-night shows that gave our music a chance." Full letter: tr.ee/9uKS89 @angusrobertson.bsky.social @thesmia.bsky.social

I love this photo. It's Berry Gordy going all Jurgen Klopp on The Jackson 5. "Michael, you're not tracking back!!!" He co-wrote 'I Want You Back' , him being a member of The Corporation. Which is now on the LSwMB. buff.ly/TIokKLP

A song that pretty much tanked when released (didn't make Top 50) but has gone on to become a Christmas classic.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Out today on @bandcamp.com Silent roar 🎥 🎶 Baroque singers, marimba, tongue drum, guitars, drum machines, piano.. and brass band ensemble! Even a musical nod to Beverly Glenn-Copeland on there 🌊 hannahpeelmusic.bandcamp.com/album/silent...

Any list of top soundtrack albums that doesn't have "The Harder They Come" on it is bogus. RIP, Jimmy Cliff.

OTD in 1976 I want to see the Sex Pistols for the first time. Notre Dame Hall, just off Leicester Square, being filmed for LWT. A media event - felt Warholian with the lights cameras and people wearing weird clothes acting out. I am at left back with the beret, moving in. Photo by Jonh Ingham

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some of the lads, who did come back next. This week in 1979, Eton Rifles became the Jam's biggest hit. So far. Possibly their best single, too. Opening this week's Late Show wMB

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

Gilson Lavis, rest in peace. If a drummer ever can. Another Nail In My Heart seems an appropriate title. Opening this evening's Late Show buff.ly/A3iwlWE

Some news stops you in your tracks. Unbelievably sad to hear the Squeeze legend, Gilson Lavis has died. For fans, Gilson will forever be the heartbeat of the band. A giant of a drummer in one of the greatest ever British groups. #RIP #GilsonLavis

Not one for anniversaries but 50 years today - wow…. 😎

On this day...1978. First ever gig. The Jam. Glasgow Apollo. Life changing. (Not my ticket, sadly.)
