Sorry Martin, you’ll have to read the site more often – I did mention it in my Monday gig listings

I will be there on Saturday evening to Jebus Ate Frogs. You can present it to me then. And it will be listened to, plus I have no idea where that James cd is. Far away from my stereo.

It’s done. When are you out and about next? You can file it next to Dylan’s James CD.

Yup, Euan, you can never be sure of these things, but I’d be pretty confident you’d like them. I’ll make you a CD – woo, how long since I did that for anyone!

Smiley, I fucking loved Comes With a Smile! A brilliant, gorgeous publication, and I’m gutted they had to pack it in.

I’ve interviewed Robert Fisher myself actually, and he does make it really easy for you – friendly, open, happy to talk and to talk about big stuff. He’s a lovely, lovely man. It was my first ever interview, and I was massively grateful for how gracious he was.

I saw them at Queens Hall about five years ago. I was hungover and tired and sloped in just as they were starting, head slumped into the bench in front. It was marvellous.

There was a cracking interview with Robert Fisher in a Comes With A Smile issue around the same time, where he mused on the meaning of death at great length.

You know, it has always surprised me that I’ve never investigated WGC’s music a little further. I really do need to. In a similar vein to Richmond Fontaine, they do seem like the kind of artist that deserve to be playing bigger venues than Sneaky Pete’s and be better known on our shores.
