It’s been surprising how little and much has been said about Dundee’s bid to be UK City of Culture 2017. How little in the long-run up. And then so much in the last week. Some good, some bad. Some indifferent. The public face of the bid started with the launch of We Dundee with locals […]

Friday was an eventful night – I was a DJ. Years ago at Coalesce I would occasionally step in for a couple of songs if I was blethering to one of the DJs and they had to nip off to the loo or whatever but never actually DJ’d. Around Christmas Sean asked if I’d be […]

Following the deaths of Dougie Martin and Gus Foy, Dundees own Michael Marra has died suddenly at the too young age of 60. I feel like one of the old guys who used to hang round the Westie or Balcony years ago talking about all the old musicians, bands and venues which are sadly no […]

Although he generally appeared on others work he also released or compiled his own work. The one I loved most […]

I saw this video a few days ago and meant to post it. Having checked it appears to have spread like wildfire. You can buy the single on iTunes And see the singers reaction to the attention on the Fear the Boot forums.

With the campaign to have a band of musicians who write songs, sing lives and can play musical instruments to No1 gains over half a million supporters Simon Cowell took time out of being a prat to comment on it. The campaign is stupid and cynical From a talentless prick who has made millions from […]

Amused today to read about some cretin who claims to be allergic to wi-fi. Of course it will be no surprise to know the rag source of this garbage is the Hitler supporting Daily Mail. Of course if such a claim were true the DJ would be in luck, with a profile and a paranormal […]
