Third #CelticConnections 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 gig of the year, seeing Bernard Butler downstairs at Oran Mor. The fella can fair play a guitar, and what a hefty back catalogue and trail of collaborations in his wake. Caimin Gilmore on double bass adding a bit of heft, and SuzanneVegaesque support from Yoshika Colwell.

There's (literally) nothing to see here. Move along now.

Ooh, never been upstairs at Oran Mor... It's awfy braw. Night 2 at #CelticConnections, with The Niche Family supporting Jill Jackson, queen of the bletherers.

Another special #CelticConnections gig to kick off this year's clutch; Boo Hewerdine thrashing out the hits, John Douglas getting a helping hand on vocals from his (until-then-an-audience-member) missus, Eddi Reader, when the lyrics weren't coming to him...

For waiting room viewing, The Addams Family is damn enjoyable.

A reminder from @quantick.bsky.social that 'bollocks' (as with 'no') is a complete and appropriate response. (A valid point from @ianmartin.bsky.social all the same.)

All gigs benefit from a lone piper to kick things off... yes, even when the band's rockin some bluesy, country, electropop. #Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #alabama3

Can you see them?
See right through them.

Robin, thanks for tonight's (yesterday's?) Randall MCing/interview. Seeing that Matt Parker had filled that role a few days ago, I wondered if he'd be handling this one too. Then Randall said (or at least I thought I heard) 'Rob' would be joining him. Expecting Deering or Newman, I was delighted.

Ahhh... my mum rediscovered the newspaper cutting for my gran and grandad's wedding in July 1945. Filled with lovely details — bar for that one word 😲 — Different times, eh...
