Its got my logo on it but this pic is a @jamiefmacdonald special of me being a proper fan boy with the wonderful Beth Orton at Bella. We don't get to meet popstars at the moment 😕 At least it gives me time to work on my smile #netsounds #belladrum #backstage #bethorton #fanboy (at Belladrum, Highland, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ66sMAr1Hm/?igshid=1wkdrb1yeufrx

When Ex-Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes took his Classic Deep Purple show to Inverness I wasn’t sure I was ready for another night of RAWK after 3 nights of rock n metal at Monsterfest the previous weekend (post to follow) but who am I kidding – deep down Im still that 13 year old who loves the heavy.  Glenn Hughes and support act Piston ripped the roof off the Ironworks – ooft not ‘alf etc etc!!

Piston were a great opener – proper balls-to-the-wall heavy rock – then Glenn Hughes opened with Stormbringer and I think I did actually pee a little bit.  Both bands were as tight as a ducks bahookie.  Anyway enough wordyness – I really cant be arsed with all of that as you know.  Go check out Piston and show them some love. Here come the photos……

Well done Ironworks as always for looking after little old me.

All shot on Nikon D500 and 24-70 and for a change a 70-300 from the balcony.

Bit of a disappointing crowd for the return of Edinburghs Broken Records to Inverness recently.  Shameful considering just how bloody marvelous the 4AD signed recording artists are live.  Anyway – not my place to moan about such stuff.  I just take the photos and here they are along with some of the support act, the mighty Little Mill of Happiness, our local heroes.

A dreich Sunday evening in Inverness and I had a hankering for standing in a dark venue fighting with purple and blue spinning LED lights and having my lugs assaulted by 3 brilliant rawk n roll bands.  Handy then that the Tooth & Claw were offering just that.

A perfect night for, finally, getting a proper outing with the Nikon D500.  A crop frame, low light beast of a camera.  Here are the results – some of them at least.  More can be found over on NETSOUNDS FB page and on my own FLICKR page.

Check the bands out too – well worth a listen……..

Honeyblood came to Hatters and were awesome.  That’s pretty much all you need to know.  If you haven’t heard them then you haven’t been paying attention to national radio – 6music, among others,  have been punting them for yonks.  I’m not going to yabble on about them – here, go and find out about them and treat yourself to some great Scottish music.

First signing to a brand spanking new record label up here in the Highlands of Scotland is Tamzene Allison-Power.

Belladrum Records asked the young lads at Team Netsounds to do a bit of filming for a hush-hush project they had happening so, sworn to secrecy, off we went to The Old Bridge Inn, Aviemore far, far, far too early one Sunday morning in February.

Tamzene is a multi-instumenalistimified singer/songwriter/all-round nice lady and needed a promo video for her upcoming single, Lullaby.  A fella darn sarf in Glasgow was going to edit it but couldn’t make it up for the filming shenannigans so we put some footage together and this is what he made with it.  We are rather proud of it – we had a lot of fun in a pub while the bar was closed.  Whodathunk it ?!

Photos from the mornings session and below that you can look at our NetsoundsLive session with Tamzene from Belladrum 2016.

Its been a while.  20 years to be exact.

Last time I saw Teenage Fanclub was back in 96 in Aberdeen supporting Radiohead and sharing the bill with DJ Shadow – eclectic or what ?

This week in Inverness they kicked off their UK tour.  I went along with Team Netsounds and it was good.  Really good. Really really good !!  That’s as close to a review as you’ll get from me.  I suggest getting a hold of the new album, Here. Its good, really good……you get the picture eh.  Support came from Spinning Coin

Heres a wee smattering of black and whites from the gig.  Colour images exist in various places, namely……..
