As much as I love instrumental music, sometimes you just want to have a sing along. And who better to have as a partner than the late great Gerry Rafferty.

Tonight's entertainment, and first gig of 2026, is in Stereo Glasgow to see Stygian Bough - the coming together of Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin.

Lazy Sunday afternoon - nice.

Ho Ho Ho - he’s been!

While tidying up/looking for something that I had lost, I came across this tour programme that @tranquilityfire.bsky.social might be interested in. My first concert as a 15 year old was Rush at the Glasgow Apollo in April 1979. I also have one from the Permanent tour the following year.

Tonight's entertainment was the wonderful Brìghde Chaimbeul at the Pleasance Theatre in Edinburgh.

Came home last night to a new album from Marc and the Mambas. Recorded live over 3 nights in London in 1983, this version is on red vinyl from Cold Spring Records. Pictured here with the studio albums from 1982 & 1983. I still love them 40 years later - they call to the sad, lonely teenager in me.

Another piece of my youth has faded away. #Ozzy youtu.be/K3b6SGoN6dA?...
