Hebden Bridge and Doune The Rabbit Hole

On Friday (15th July) I sorted Bob Dylan tickets (Glasgow, Oct. Eek.) and hit the road for Hebden Bridge, sketching Bernard "Stan Ogden" Youens on t' way...

Teenage Fanclub played the splendid Trades Club. This time I chose not to trek up to Heptonstall between soundcheck and gig. Instead I decided to almost get locked in an antiques shop. (I didn't know it closed at half past four).

Bayview opened for us. 

Edwyn Collins and his wife Grace appeared at the soundcheck and said hello. Which was a nice. 

In the dressing room I drew Bernard "Yosser" Hill.

Gig was great.

On the way home I had a go at drawing Tucker Jenkins.

I headed over to Doune The Rabbit Hole on Saturday evening to catch the live return of the mighty Camera Obscura. They were brilliant! (d'uh).

Caught some Belle & Sebastian too before winding home.

The Fanclub played Doune the next day. 'Twas fun all over again. Before our set I saw The Bluebells. I read somewhere that Bobby wrote Young At Heart about his parents. Lovely. Soundtrack to the journey home = The Rutles.

I am enjoy this.

On to Series 3 of The Detectorists. 

A feature-length documentary for which I composed the music will be on TV at the end of the month. More info anon.

Meanwhile let's go over to The Gallery...
