worth going out for in february 2018;
February 2018 is my two-year anniversary as new music columnist at The Scots Magazine, Scotland’s oldest magazine. It’s one of my favourite things I’ve ever done: a chance to wax lyrical about the music that I love, and to do so to a whole new audience. Plus, you can now buy the magazine in Morrisons, which gives my mum a monthly opportunity to show off my name in print to whatever poor bastard…

Vinegar, Chrissy Barnacle, SLONK at 13th Note, 26/10/17
Vinegar, Chrissy Barnacle, SLONK at 13th Note, 26/10/17
There aren’t many people around when I arrive, most people are sitting by what I’m given to understand is the printmaking workshop. I get a drink and take the last seat at the table. Something like a printmaking station is a really nice thing to have at a gig. It’s easier to get talking over a shared creative goal, which some people are better at than others, than it is going up to strangers at…

Doune the Rabbit Hole, Day 2, 19/8/17
Day two of Doune I start off early and surprising chirper, after a cup of Yogi chai from the Tchai Ovna tent and a haggis roll sort be right out. So, well prepared I make the journey down the treacherous path down to the Thunderdome stage in plenty of time to catch an otherworldly set from Chrissy Barnacle. Barnacle’s songs are built on intricate and delicate finger picking, and her soft voice…

Jason Riddell, Lefthand, Grand Pricks, Chrissy Barnacle at The Hug and Pint, 12/2/17
Jason Riddell, Lefthand, Grand Pricks, Chrissy Barnacle at The Hug and Pint, 12/2/17
The Hug and Pint hosts an eclectic range of artists on Sunday night, kicking off with the incomparable Chrissy Barnacle. Even later than the last time I saw her live – and this time with a hangover – Barnacle impresses again with her remarkable consistency and profound originality. The last Barnacle gig I was at was in a living room, the time before that in a small exhibition space. There is a…

Strange Behaviours at Tolbooth, 25-26/11/16
Tolbooth’s Strange Behaviours has two-day festival returns to Stirling for a third triumphant year. With 18 acts to choose from, the event is a musical smorgasbord with a genre to please even the pickiest of music fans. Living up to the events name, this year’s chosen aesthetics are just that – strange; broken and decorated mannequins are placed around the venue – some splashed with paint and one…
