@audinarymusic Ocht thanks Andy. I'm glad you felt moved by it. Al was such a lovely man!

@ClaireMcnicol @DeclanMcKenna @gerrycinamon @GerryCinnamon I've done the whole mum fuss thing! Rolling eyes at the mere suggestion of a raincoat. I hope they all have a great time!

My 17 year old off to TRNSMT on the w/e. I ask for a rundown of programme and he talks excitedly about @DeclanMcKenna @gerrycinamon before saying "then I have to sit through some band that are *literally* called Garbage ..."

There's the multigenerational gulf right there! 😆

@CubittTownPri @SpitsMusic @juliefowlis @seckoukeita beautiful!

[Karine Polwart @IAMKP]

@thescartingmous loved that band!

[Karine Polwart @IAMKP]

@PembySingSong @DeclanMcKenna @gerrycinamon Actually I like him too. And when I first saw footage of Gerry Cinnamon leading a Glasgow crowd it made me cry. It's just interesting how some 90s stuff is cutting through big time but Shirley Manson is - as yet - an unknown to my son ... he'll maybe come round mind you ...
