Last night I was at Aberdeen Music Hall to see the mighty Stranglers again. Absolutely brilliant. I think they enjoyed it as much as we did. Always a pleasure, never a chore. Support from Buzzcocks. Their sound wasn’t the best, TBH.

Turns out it was 43 years ago this week that I saw the mighty Edwin Starr at Aberdeen Capitol. Only a couple of hundred folk there and most of us ended up on stage dancing beside the great man. What a night, unforgettable.
