7pm, April 3rd - Dunfermline

* Exhibition Opening Reception *

7pm - Thursday 3rd April, 2025

I enjoyed talking about the above on The Arts Mix on BBC Scotland.

Nice blog about yon Bob Dylan night here. Maybe see you at the next one?

There's always time for this:

Powerful doc here.

And now...this (see if you can spot Harvey Smith, Thomas Tallis or Antoine de Saint-Exupéry):

"My Dog & Other VIPs"

Everyone and their dog is welcome along to this...

The Opening Reception is 7pm on 3rd April at the Firestation Creative. Come on - it'll be FUN!

I loved being a part of the 50th anniversary celebration of Blood On The Tracks organised by Thi Wurd. I made sure to tell my story of the time I lobbed a tartan scarf at Bob mid-set at the SEC, Glasgow in the early 90s. (A good chunk of my self-respect seemed to float off into the evening darkness along with it - but hey, technically He spoke to me.) 

I have a piece (an ink portrait of Marty Feldman) in a group show of art by drummers. You can catch Crash Ride Snare at Dunoon Burgh Hall running until the end of March.

 I liked this short piece of writing - 'The Loneliest Bench In Glasgow' by Peter Ross.

And I like this (look out, Nancy & Lee):

This is a moving documentary.

I like this piece by Jean Arp.

And here comes some of my you-know-what...

Yes, sir!

I was glad to design a postcard for Michael Shelley for the WFMU fundraiser.

"Loch Ness: They Created A Monster" was just shown on BBC Two. I recommend catching up with it here purely because I composed the music.

Mina Smallman on Desert Island Discs is a powerful listen.

I love these Mime and Handkerchief drawings by Quentin Blake. 

And also this:

And I dig these Post Office posters by Dorrit Dekk.
