We had such a lovely, sold-out evening of music from James Yorkston & Nina Persson earlier this week. Their funny stories & brilliant rapport between songs made it extra special. Thanks to all the wonderful people who attended & made it a night to remember. @jamesyorkston.bsky.social

“Songs For Nina And Johanna” consolida el modo de trabajar que engrandece a @jamesyorkston.bsky.social, sabiendo retirarse para que brillen otras voces –aquí, Nina Persson y Johanna Söderberg–, y al mismo tiempo construir canciones que solo él podría haber escrito. ✍️ @anadaracm.bsky.social

I bought Songs For Nina And Johanna by @jamesyorkston.bsky.social on Friday and I've already lost count of the number of times I've played it since. A joy from start to finish, a wonderful set of songs performed by James with Nina Persson and Johanna Söderberg. dubhed.blogspot.com/2025/09/ther...

Tommy Bruce lives at the bottom of a bottle, until Fiona arrives bringing light and... hope? But more old faces are back looking to do Tommy harm. Can 'Tommy the Bruce' salvage what little happiness he's managed to cobble together? @jamesyorkston.bsky.social OUT NOW! https://buff.ly/40URIz6

Book folk, my most recent novel, Tommy The Bruce, is published and in the shops today x

My current read is something a little off beat and unusual. I think the graphic below sums it up nicely! #TommyTheBruce by @jamesyorkston.bsky.social is published tomorrow by Oldcastle Books. There's some lovely Scottish vocabulary, the one that had me chuckling (not seen it before) was CUTV
