@mrjamesob.bsky.social Don Lemon was just mentioning you on his show saying he’d love to get you on

Sometimes you just have to turn off the news and have a jam.

I've got a new song coming out that was born out of what has been going on in the US. "Hard To See", Available as a free download on Bandcamp now, or pre-save on Spotify. It will also be on all the other platforms soon (link in the replies)

A new song inspired by recent events. Available now for free on Bandcamp and next week on the streaming services graemecampbell73.bandcamp.com/track/hard-t...

Nothing better than doing a gig in a Scottish pub on Hogmanay, like at the Settle Inn, in Stirling. Absolutely brilliant crowd in, including wedding guests, tourists and locals. They didn’t even mind my occasional bum notes and (by the end) croaky voice. Happy Hogmanay and lang may yer lum reek.

If you’re a guitar player that knows a few open chords but wants to spice them up and embellish them a bit, here’s a few wee tips and ideas around the G chord. I’ll do some others soon. 😀

If the news is getting a wee bit heavy, here's a tune I put out back in 2024 called "Falling Down". Hope you enjoy it, and if you do, feel free to share and have a listen to my other stuff. distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

This is one of my rockier tunes, that I put out earlier this year. Just a simple song about superficial and in-authentic people, especially those in power. If you like it, turn it up and let your neighbours hear it too :) (Links in the reply below)

I’m usually playing covers gigs these days (bills to pay), but I’ve been revisiting my older Americana inspired songs. I was playing through “Nowhere to Run” this afternoon. My newer stuff is available on my pinned post.

As G&L Guitars have ceased to exist as a company, thought I’d give mine a good play today

For your listening pleasure I've collected together my recent singles and a bonus acoustic track into a handy EP. Available now on Bandcamp, Spotify, YouTube etc. (link below in replies) #music

Racism isn't an opinion or "point of view", it's a moral failing.

Timeline cleanser. Turn this up loud youtu.be/bwvdm8zQXaQ?...

Seriously BBC why do you give Reform & Farage so much coverage? We never hear from Stephen Flynn who has double the MPs, never mind the Lib Dem’s. #radiofourtoday

Gutted that Bobby Whitlock has passed away. One of the best vocalists in rock and was always very kind in our brief interactions online in recent years. Rest well Bobby youtu.be/q_FTFqDZZEk?...

On Saturday I had a fun acoustic covers gig at the Settle Inn, in Stirling (which is so old that Jacobites used to frequent it). Always a great place to play but even better when there are folk in who really enjoy what you do 😀. #Scotland

All of my music is on Bandcamp for your listening pleasure. You can buy it at a price of your choosing, or have it for free. All I ask is you spread the word. Hope you enjoy it. graemecampbell73.bandcamp.com

And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mine’s no longer around but I’m one myself now. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there and for all those folk for whom it’s a tricky day (this is us in the 70s)

Just finished an early evening gig at The Settle Inn, in Stirling. Always love playing there. Loads of history, (this fireplace is older than the US) great people and there’s often a dog or two as well

Last nights gig was fun. Most folk were really cool & complimentary. There was a very drunk woman who kept shouting “Kenny Rogers” & wiggling her bum at everyone & her pal decided to film me from 2ft away with the phone light on then knocked my mic-stand over. Another Friday night gig in Edinburgh 😂

Once again #R4Today promoting Farage and Reform. I can’t listen any more.

ICE crossed a line in LA

Listening to #r4today regarding the upcoming Larkhall by-election. Everyone they spoke to complained about reserved issues like the cost of food, VATand immigration. Things that the Scottish Govt has no control over.

I've got a new vid up on my Youtube Channel. First impressions and some sounds with the Fender Acoustasonic Standard Telecaster youtu.be/Csa_MjfYttc

Sorting out my gear and getting a quick rehearsal in for a gig in Stirling tomorrow

This medication I've been prescribed for nerve pain is knocking me for six. I've got all the energy of a damp lettuce leaf. The doctor did say that would happen at first. Hope its worth it, I hate not being productive.

Once again, very grateful for the NHS here in Scotland. Phoned for an appointment this morning, got seen and examined by the doctor less than 2 hours later. Medication was sorted straight away, and didn't get presented with a huge bill like in some other countries.

On the anniversary of VE Day, remembering my grandfather, Michael LeDrew and the rest of the merchant sailors like him who left their homelands ,(Canada in his case) and risked their lives during WW2 to ship troops and supplies everywhere they were needed and often under threat. #VEDay

For #BandcampFriday, all of my music is available for free, or you can pay a price of your choice. All I ask is, if you like it, is that you spread the word and share. graemecampbell73.bandcamp.com

College work today as I do a mixing assignment for the music production module. Very grateful to live in a country where I can access education like this as an adult. #openuniversity

Played a covers gig in Edinburgh last night, good crowd in, as well as the fella from the Performing Rights Society who was auditing my set list (as per the venue license). It was a bit weird at first but he was actually really nice and very supportive, said he enjoyed himself too which is a bonus.

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

Back to very rainy weather yesterday, but still inspiring #Scotland

Had a walk around Dollar Glen and Castle Campbell. The weather is fantastic today. #Scotland

@bbc5live.bsky.social @nickyaacampbell.bsky.social Nobody has mentioned the effect this may have on the peace process in Northern Ireland and the Good Friday agreement. NI is has a special arrangement with the free flow of goods and services from the EU

Says a lot about someone when they put tarrifs on an island populated by Penguins but not on Russia

I'm grateful to live in a country where at 52 I can do a Music degree with funding, remotely at my own pace. Currently working through a production module and did a deep dive analysis on this fantastic performance by Ry Cooder for the latest assignment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEUI...

Here's an EP that I put out a couple of years back called Chasing Ghosts. I'm starting work on a new one, but in the meantime. I would love it if you gave this a spin or two distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

A very dreich (rainy) day & I had to get my MOT done on the car, which ended up costing me a load of cash. On the positive side, as I had to wait all day, I headed into the local library for the first time in years, got some work done and read some history books, which eased the stress a wee bit

A bit choppy on the loch but still a stunning day #Scotland

Playing without a pick and just using my fingers for a bit of a change #Guitar #Gretsch

For my new followers especially, just a reminder that I’m on Bandcamp. Pretty much everything on my page is “pay what you like” or free, so dig in. It’s all on the other streaming places too if that’s your thing graemecampbell73.bandcamp.com/track/rust-a...

Tuesday #Scotland

I am very lucky to have this just down the road. #Scotland

Stunning day for a walk #Scotland
