It has been a crazy but magnificent few days both at the Edinburgh Book Festival and on the gigging front, I don’t quite know how to begin. When I last had the time to sit down and write a blog entry it was Thursday morning and I was about to head through to Glasgow [...]

Did anyone notice the funny faux pas in yesterday’s post? “I’ve never actually been to Cornwall, Devon…” Gee, how I laughed when I noticed the English county confusion I caused.
I thought for today’s post I would do something a bit different. While reading yesterday’s Telegraph I found a series of questions asked to [...]

There’s been a flurry of activity on the gig ticket purchasing scene in the last 24 hours. Suddenly I can look forward to the last ever Supergrass gig (Barrowlands), Gorillaz (SECC), Limp Bizkit (Academy) and Biffy Clyro (SECC); four awesome gigs, all by bands I’ve never seen but have been high on my would-love-to-see [...]

It was one of those days where the more small items I managed to tick off my GDR list, the more of the bigger ones followed on thereafter. By the end of play late in the evening, I had achieved rather a lot of juicy work.
I got right back on track with Ranfurly [...]

Yesterday didn’t quite work out as planned, but in the end it worked out better. My intention was to head up town early but after growing suspicious about the overhead helicopters, I caught sight of the reason on Twitter: the Edinburgh marathon was on. This would mean the buses would be screwed so [...]

Just a quick post today as I have loads to get through. I had an easy day yesterday—as Saturday’s should be. I decided not to leave the house except to feed the animals, because given that I’m off all next week I was in no hurry to rush out to the nearest coffee [...]

I’m shattered. My eyes hurt, my head is sore, I have that run down snivelly thing going on and I want to sleep for hours while at the same time go out and let my hair down. Maybe I can do both. Scotland are playing England at rugby in the Six Nations Championship [...]

I found myself dealing with more numpties than I would normally expect to during my day job, yesterday. I mean, one has to wonder where we get the staff from at times. On one hand it boosts my profile, but on the other it is so infuriating to have to lead people by the [...]

Check out my interview with Blazing Trailers, which was posted on their website yesterday. There were some good questions
Also, if you missed it, check out my gig review in Sunday’s News of the World, this week Theoretical Girl.
Good day’s work yesterday all round. The management have recognised my writing skils and have asked me [...]

Glasgow was brilliant this weekend; family, laughter, food, drinks, and the weather held up, too. Not that it mattered once my posterior found its way onto my sister’s couch. It could have snowed a blizzard and I wouldn’t have noticed.
It was a relaxing journey through on the bus early on Saturday, listening to [...]

Check out my review of this week’s Ray LaMontagne gig in today’s News of the World A-Listed music supplement, or online here.
Also, one of the interviews I did last week has been published. Check it out over at A Biblio Paradise, where my great pal Devon Ellington asks me some very interesting questions!
It took slightly [...]

It’s a belter of a day outside. The sun is out, there’s no wind, and it puts me in mind to take a book out the back and read for the day. But there is work to be done—a lot of it.
I’m just back from my usual Saturday morning jaunt up town. I didn’t [...]

Did anyone else choke on their cornflakes yesterday morning when BBC News announced that the Taliban have called for a human rights investigation into a recent air strike in Afghanistan? HUMAN RIGHTS—THE TALIBAN—there’s two phrases you wouldn’t normally connect on any level of human decency or respect.
Quite a day yesterday; I have hit [...]

Arrived in work yesterday under grey clouds and heavy rain, to find signs at the front door indicating a critical incident was underway. The network was down and nobody could get logged in. It’s funny how lost one feels when the technology abandons us temporarily, a reminder perhaps that we used to live [...]
