A life of music ( Capercaillie etc ) and Celtic Connections Artistic Director - so my views shared here are my own as far as I remember.Bikes are good.

R. I. P. Brian Kellock, much loved piano colossus, leader of BK3 and accompanist of choice for the stars. The great jam session in the hereafter has just acquired a genuine, big-hearted ambassador for swing.

This repugnant individual is a creature of the English media. They have platformed and promoted him for years and will do so with renewed vigour now that he is heading for Downing Street. Now’s the day and now’s the hour, Scotland, to get out before fascism takes control.

If you watch one thing today make it this remarkable speech by an independent French senator. It captures the moment @ClaudeMalhuret

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.
Bafta and Oscar winning : BEST DOCUMENTARY.

Huge privilege to read “The Lazy Mist” written by Robert Burns in 1788 @ccfest to a beautiful accompaniment from @DuncanWChisholm and @ShawDonald at the Kelvingrove Burns Night. An amazing experience to hear such fantastic musicians celebrating the work of our National Bard.
