Artist: The Bluebells Album: This Is…The BluebellsLabel: Last Night From Glasgow New music from The Bluebells is always a good thing and not only that but This Is… is a double-album (not sure if that means it’s two albums in one but that’s a question for another day) running to a whopping sixteen songs. There have been some true […]

Artist: The Countess of Fife Album: New Phone New Car New ManLabel: Last Night From Glasgow Some records arrive loudly, demanding attention. Others slip in quietly, take a seat beside you, and before long you realise they’ve been telling you truths you weren’t quite ready to hear. New Phone New Car New Man is very much the latter. Four years

I miss the days of going into Woolworths and staring in awe at that week’s Top 40 singles on display. Each containing 7″ of vinyl delight. Purchases made, back home and the singles were stacked on the record player, each dropping down in turn before the needle hits, a little static followed by the opening

Like a menu at your favourite restaurant, you really can’t eat everything but considered choice is the way to go. Quite often, you might ask the waiter for a recommendation. In many ways, deciding on what gigs to go to is similar. The tried and trusted artists who you know will hit the spot, or

Concert: David Byrne Venue: Glasgow, ArmadilloDates: 7 March 2026 Heaven, heaven is a place…………….and for just under two hours on Saturday night in Glasgow, David Byrne invited the audience into his own personal nirvana, a kaleidoscopic show that was visually and sonically spectacular.

Concert Courtney Marie Andrews/ Brown Horse Venue: Glasgow Saint Luke’s Dates: 23 February 2026 This one felt special from the off. A support band I’ve seen and genuinely rate, and a main act I’ve admired for years but somehow never managed to catch live. There’s always a little extra buzz on nights like that — curiosity, expectation, hope.

Concert Friends Again/ Lloyd Cole Venue: Glasgow Old Fruitmarket Dates: 31 January 2026 Celtic Connections is at its best when it brings people together for something that feels genuinely unique — and this event at the Old Fruitmarket did that in spades. A band who released one album over 40 years ago, back together on stage and supported

Concert: The Twang Venue: Glasgow Saint Luke’sDates: 12 December 2025 Despite the longevity of some twenty-one years, this was the first time I’d managed to catch Birmingham indie-rock band, The Twang or its original incarnation as Neon Twang. It was also, more unbelievably, my maiden visit to Saint Luke’s. What a beautiful space it is, with perfect aesthetics and
