The last time I saw Davy H he announced his new band "Bubbles, playing the hits of The Sexual Objects" (his old band) like some conceptual joke that he had just thought of... The band were great, the addition of Malcolm Ross a brilliant move, and it seems the S.Obs are no more, long live Bubbles!

(The) Mackenzies have been reworking Big Jim (There's No Pubs In Heaven) Many C86 fans may not have realised it needed the upgrade, but this sounds good. And, just to reinforce that it's not a replacement, it has a different name. The State I'm In. Now on the MBRS buff.ly/cSdKTPi

This Is …The Bluebells was a joy to be a part of, it’s released by Last Night From Glasgow. Lots of Byrdsian tones with emotive lyrics. It’s a double album (a la London Calling & The White Album) with 16 songs over 4 sides. Hope you like it.
