Last night was the O2 Academy 2 in Newcastle, which is the wee diddy room upstairs at the O2 Academy. The sign above the door curiously read "BROKEN RECORDS THEN REVOLUTION AND MAYHEM", which actually referred to the club night which was on afterwards. Got everything up to the third floor via four trips in the wee lift, then sandwiches and coffee.

It's already been a busy old week with a six-song live session on the Billy Sloan show on Clyde One on the Sunday (particularly enjoyable for me as I remember listening to the likes of Tiger Tim on Radio Clyde as a younger fellow, which is something these East-Coasters have never had the pleasure of - uh-oh uh-oh uh-oh baaaa-byyyeee! etc.), and a session for Vic Galloway on Radio Scotland on the Monday which coincided with the release of "wir album". I have been unable to find a method to listen back to Billy's show but the Beeb have put up a video of one of the tracks from Monday for your perusal here:

Radio Scotland session tonight

Just a quick note to say we'll shortly be playing live in session on Vic Galloway's Radio Scotland show.

Alongside a couple of familiar songs, we have been asked to re-work another artist's song, which could be interesting in any number of ways.

You can listen to the show between 8-10pm on 92-95 FM on the radio or via the Radio Scotland website
