I love black beans and I just tried dying with the soaking juice, which I've always wanted to do. I love the effects... like marble or some distant galaxy! 🌠}:∆ #makeyourownmerch #bandana #wip #blackbeans #naturaldye #naturaldyes #naturaldyeing #blackbeandye https://www.instagram.com/p/B_KesPJlfwx/?igshid=9aih8rqw7fof

#STAGGstickers - out now. I'll likely offer you one / force you to take one if we cross paths in the next wee while! They're home made and water proof which I did by ironing candle wax onto them... Glad I finally found a use for my iron!

Massive thank you to everyone who took a moment to vote STAGG over the last day or so for the @commonpeopleopenmic Showdown. I didn't get through, but huge congrats to the people's vote @ayanam_music who got over 1000 votes and also played just before me on Wednesday and his beautiful music did wonders to calm my nerves! 🙏 It always stings a little when you don't get to where you hope and I always find competition stressful af, but the takeaway is that so many of you showed your support and that makes me feel so good. So with that and the joy of simply making music... onwards! I've got such a game plan and it's only getting started. }:∆ https://www.instagram.com/p/B45YuuXFYf5/?igshid=19vyf2d24heyx

#happyhalloween dressed in all black, painted my thumb nails black and learned the intro to Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, which I always find really spooky and halloweeny! I'm setting a goal to learn an interpretation of the whole piece on my accordion for Halloween 2020 }:∆ #bach #STAGG #toccataandfugue #baroque #baroquestar #spookymusic #accordion #accordionist #halloween #goals #musicgoals https://www.instagram.com/p/B4TexmsldEz/?igshid=j0bd0bt128vu

Making of "Vegas" Artwork Pt. 04 - "Can't wake up from this nightmare / Fanplastical castles in the air / Where all monsters stare" My comment on the peeling Camelot pastiche of Vegas architecture. It makes me so sad how people are coersed into paying top dollar to stay in tarted up prison cells. Sold a lie through the advertisement of the veneer of luxury that is accessible only to a few visitors. To part with their hard gotten on such a loathful excuse for hospitality must not be good for the soul of humanity. Check out the song if you haven't already, website link in bio }:∆ #vegas #STAGG #sadsong #fabulous #lasvegas #piano #accordion #cello #nufolk #folk #scottishmusic #scottishartist #glasgowairport #glasgow #artwork #albumart #albumartwork #diymusic #photocollage #architecture https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-fu2RFHiv/?igshid=5d22adcnn010

Making of "Vegas" Artwork Pt. 03 - "All humanity wont meet your eye / So you go with their flow to do of die" I actually tried a little busking stint on the strip. I normally quite enjoy watching people walk by and interacting with the energy of a place, but I really found it quite harrowing in Vegas. I felt swallowed up and people were trying their best to look through the big guy with an accordion and stay transfixed on the bright lights of the strip. }:∆ #vegas #STAGG #sadsong #fabulous #lasvegas #lasvegasstrip #strip #piano #accordion #cello #nufolk #folk #scottishmusic #scottishartist #glasgowairport #glasgow #artwork #albumart #albumartwork #diymusic #photocollage https://www.instagram.com/p/B35RMUwFUz4/?igshid=mcwlrw61su5l

Making of "Vegas" Artwork Pt. 02 - "It's a long walk down Las Vegas Strip / When you're all on your own, down to your last chip" Here's one of the photos I took in Vegas and that inspired the song. I got chucked out the casino for taking this photo, but it was bad vibes in there anyway. And it ended up being a good chips related photo for the collage! Have a listen to Vegas available on all platforms now. }:∆ #vegas #STAGG #sadsong #fabulous #lasvegas #piano #accordion #cello #nufolk #folk #scottishmusic #scottishartist #glasgowairport #glasgow #artwork #albumart #albumartwork #diymusic #photocollage #chips #casino #gambling #whenthefunstopsstop https://www.instagram.com/p/B31q_3Eo4Hu/?igshid=1beqfdm5b58o1

💙💔💙 JUST THE MOST HEARTWRENCHINGLY BEAUTIFUL! Such a pleasure to see the incredible @rachelsermanni play last night! Please check her out if you don't know her - it will enrich your life wherever you are in it. This is "wish I showed my love" from her new album. It's got have been at least 10 years since I first saw her play and the way she has grown as a musician and an artist while remaining true to her wicked personality is so inspiring!
