Hello June!

OK. So it's June...

I saw The Rutles in Glasgow last week. Loved it.

This week I had a wee trip to the beautiful city of Bristol to catch the live debut of Tracyanne & Danny, promoting "your new favourite album".

First gig was a corker.

Then they conquered London.

I had a wee wander around Tate Modern...

I walked over the Millennium Bridge past St Paul's...

Thence to Rough Trade East in-store which was dandy.

I also got a wee tour of the local area so now I know where Gilbert & George live. I decided not to knock on their door and tell them that their show in Dublin induced my 9 year-old to declare, "My brian hurts", although they might have liked that.

Then it was upwards and onwards for an emotional show in Glasgow.

Nice to have Edwyn blinking' Collins onstage for a vocal cameo during "Alabama" (!!!)

Then home and up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire.
