Tea jenny, stripy socks wearer, immaculate third touch, cricket convert, crisps addict, Wimsey nut and daft uncle. I'll find my soul as I go home. From a gig, more than likely!
My first post in a while on here. Apologies for the absence.
Anyway, I went to 55 gigs this year. 106 different bands.All of them great. Here's a playlist of songs from most of them. open.spotify.com/playlist/7aU...

Simple Minds at Bellahouston Park last night. Superb! They played Once Upon A Time, my favourite album of theirs and kicked off my being a fan of theirs, in full. Although not in order, but that was OK. Great night.

Haven't posted here in a while, so here goes. On my way back home from the Doves gig at La Belle Angele. Just brilliant!
OK, Jimi isn't there, and all the love to him. But Andy and Jez, and their band, did a superb job of carrying the torch. And I managed to blag the last setlist being handed out!

Falkirk couple reveal the rewards of being puppy raisers for Guide Dogs Scotland
Earlier this week a couple said goodbye to the pet who has shared their home for the last year. But while they are sad to see her go, they know that she’s got a very important job to do.

I should have posted this at the end of last year, but life got in the road, sadly.
I went to 57 gigs in 2024. 111 bands in total, some of them more than once. And they were all great! Here's a playlist with songs from (almost) all of them.
