I grew up in a housing scheme in Pollok in Glasgow. My strongest childhood memories are of the water tower against a pink sky, the ice cream van at night and the community around me.

Tomorrow our new album Romantic Visions of Scotland finally comes out and we launch in Glasgow at Mono on Friday night and in London at The Lexington on Saturday night. Looking forward to seeing some of you there!
Cheers to The Skinny for the shout out 👍

Felt Christmassy today, listened to Low. Here’s some snow I painted.

Last night we met up in the sweatiest and stinkiest practice room in Glasgow. Oh well we are back…gigs on the horizon and new album on the way funded by Creative Scotland ! Exciting times on the way for @TheJustJoans

[Katie Pope @katieruthpope]

@generationgav @IndietracksFest I wanna go back. It was the best of times.

[Katie Pope @katieruthpope]

Still the very greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. DJing at @IndietracksFest it’s 3am…bouncer approaches the decks, I assume he’s gonna shut it down. Instead he asked me what the song is ? I reply. He writes it on his hand and walks off.

[Katie Pope @katieruthpope]

@Robat39 It’s a beauty.

An autumnal bus stop in the rain cheered me up this morning on my way into work.

@stufalconer Thanks Stuart! Always a killer getting stuck when the barriers come down.

@JohnOsRadioHead @DrKatieCoops @RobertAuton

Dudes, I miss Mother India at the Fringe.

[Katie Pope @katieruthpope]

@lesleybanks1 Yes I do too. It always makes me cry. Such a strong depiction of shared humanity. I was on Millport today with my wee boy. Thought of all those before me.

Sitting by window in Largs watching the sky change and listening to From Scotland with Love by @kingcreosote.

What a beautiful wee country we have.

[Katie Pope @katieruthpope]

Yeah @lesleybanks1 it’s such a beautiful album and film. Have you seen him perform it live with the film behind? Genuinely spectacular even for the most cynical wee heart. That archive footage is something else.
