Live in Edinburgh This Week - 20th July 2008

It’s a bit crowded with interesting things this week, with everything kind of happening at once, making it a little difficult to decide what to go to. Then there’s always Mrs. Toad of course, who has the selfish habit of complaining when I spent every night of the week out doing musicky things, the [...]

Live in Edinburgh This Week - 13th July 2008

Ho hum, what’s going on this week then? Well I am having a fairly dry one, that’s for sure. Last week descended into complete mayhem, largely musical, and by Sunday morning I wasn’t sure whether it was Thursday’s, Friday’s or Saturday’s hangover I was so desperate to sleep off.

Bart has spotted some [...]

Sorry for missing these two little nuggets out the first time, folks, but there’s some interesting stuff going on this weekend that I (and Bart - hahahahhahahaaaa… fuck you!) missed the first time round.  Both gigs are on Saturday, so it’s going to be a fucking busy one.
The first is a bit straighforward:
Saturday 21st June [...]
