It's Here

As I write the new Teenage Fanclub album "Endless Arcade" has finally been released into the wild.


It was a pleasure to make: grooving to Dave's bass-playing, eating schnitzel (not at the same time) and generally hitting drums on great songs. Working and hanging out with good people is something I try not to take for granted.

Aye, aye aye, very good. But is it up to much?

Well, you can make up your own mind by clicking here.


Now this was a rollercoaster ride...


... I don't think I've ever read a book so quickly. And if you want me to sum it up - I can't.

Here's a sweet read for dog-lovers and non-dog-lovers alike..

I've been watching Holy Grail, Life Of Brian, yada.

I recommend this documentary series about the amazing Greta Thunberg.

To quote Ivor Cutler, women of the world world - take over. Greta for president; Dee Hepburn for Minister For Sport:

If you love Gregory's Girl as much as me - here's a lovely chat between Nicola Meighan, Clare Grogan, Alex Norton and Bill Forsyth. 

Farewell, Jim Steinman. Wagner maybe have written The Ring Cycle - but you wrote Dead Ringer For Love and Total Eclipse Of The Heart. I found this interview with Meatloaf moving.

I've been making music for an arts programme for BBC TWO and also for The Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival 2021.

Here's an opportunity for any budding or established Scottish or Scottish-based composers that you may know.

This looks interesting...


We (Teenage Fanclub) were asked to recommend some Bandcamp music - so we did.

Finally - I enjoyed writing the music for this ad (trigger warning - this might make you want to become a filmmaker and move to Scotland):
