As the city gets lost under the festivals invasion, it's good to see Edinburgh businesses like @voxboxmusic.bsky.social + The Last Word supporting Scottish acts with today's Summer Session from Faith Eliott + Jane Frances + Ian Humberstone 👏 Photo album > andycatlin.myportfolio.com/vox-box-summ...

I've been playing this album a lot. it's a beauty. Begins lively as hell then begins to tell a story. Complex and life affirming. Ian Humberstone has made an album if the year.

Everyone attending these August gigs needs to download a 'Sixpack in 30 days' app and get crunching to avoid there being a crush.

Saw this at Tesco Leith. Glad their defibrillator is free though I'm not sure how they'd ever be able to go about charging for it.
Rifle through the guys pockets for a credit card and clubcard while doing CPR?

Anyway, back wasn't broken. We had a great time and spent 7 hours in the park on Sunday riding the small and big coasters. Not too busy so short queues. Could do with a lick of paint in places but clean. We'd go back but looking at other options. Thorpe Park? Alton Towers?

I'm all for allowing folk to do dangerous things with informed choice.
Blackpool's The Big One should say "uneven track. Jolts your spine. Use at own risk".
It's a broken and dangerous thing and should be closed until warning put up or it is fixed.

Ok, rode on The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach on Sunday. It's a scary height and descent. But fk me it will paralyse someone.
Rough on the turns and felt bashed about. Fair enough. But there were a few times the seat whacked upwards with force and had me worried about my spine.

I'm in Blackpool for rollercoastering with my 7 year old. Seen here contemplating the Big One after arriving at the hotel today. He wants to go upside down.
Ooft.
Tomorrow we ride.

The SMIA is really important but struggles with visibility outside of those involved in Scottish music.
I may well apply for this.
I'm sure they don't need another old white man but I think I've a few insights and many plans.
Any glaring issues needing addressed?

Many years ago a man came in looking for a song. He was already pissed after attending the pub after attending his mother's funeral.
I didn't have the song. But we found it online and we played it again and again. It was a song that Roberta Flack had made her own.

For Record Store Day this year we will have 12 artists -from brand new to very experienced. All incredible.
We're at St Vincent's Chapel. Shop will open at 8am. Live music from 11-1730.
Possibly more music after we get our supper.
More deets by the end of the week.

Almost all my free time in recent months has been spent researching a collection of 5000 US funk and soul records.
It's been both tedious and joyful.
This box took 5 hours to price up over last weekend.
But phew... it's now done!
