Salutations All!
As Foretold I Bring You My 4th Album,
‘The Carnations of Calamity’

Originally Wasn’t Planning to Play Anymore Shows after the Bob Dylan’s 41st Last Month but Got Offered to Play this and Since it is End of February Felt Rather Fitting.

Good Morning Folks - Dropping in to Let You Know That Album 4 is Currently Careening Towards Being Finished.
Been a Tricky One to Put Together but is Approaching Completion - Should Be Out within the Next Week and a Half. Has Taken Up Most of My Time So is the Reason I have Not Been Posting so Frequently.
After that I Will be Disappearing for Most of this Year. May Have a Couple Surprises Beforehand However.
Keep Yer Eyes PEELED…
SURE IS A LOTTA EVIL OUT THERE…

Will Share Bits and Pieces from @borkisdad and I’s Set Soon.

Hello Dear Pilgrims!
Apologies for Recent Radio Silence…
Got Some Stuff to Share wi You All so BUCKLE UP.
Planning on Taking a Break from Most Musical Activities for Most of this Year - Needing A Chunk of Time to Sort Out Various Life-Things and to explore different ways to be Creative. (I fear the last part of that sentence was strong with pretentiousness, but it is what it is.) Will be Taking Said Break at the End of February. I Will put Wee Updates On Here Now and Again for Important Things But Won’t be on Social Media as Much.
BUT BEFORE THEN -
Tonight - Playing Fuzzfest at Leith Depot in Duo Form w/ Howie Reeve. Many Swell Acts playing from Last Night until Tomorrow Night Curated by FBG’s All Round Good Guy Stuart Fraser.
23rd January - Playing Bob Dylan’s 41st Birthday Party @ Home Bar. Show organised by Edinburgh Music Guide. Also Playing will be Do You Like Butter? And 30th Century Erotica & The Dangers of Smoking. Will be Doing Some Dylan as the Title Suggests.
And NEW ALBUM Will be Out Before MARCH.
(Cheers to all Folks Who Have Been Supporters in Any Kind of Way - Your Presence/efforts Have Been Much Appreciated)
Had a GRANDAULDTIME @ Home Bar w/ Cornfield Chase & Sha Rivari & The Maybes a Week Ago. Looked a Wee Bit Like the Following IMAGES. Swell Sets All round.
I Don’t Think I Have Much Happening the Rest of 2025 (but I Might Be Wrong on That Front). GOT SOME FAIRLY BIG STUFF FOR EARLY 2026 SO WILL UPDATE You All Accordingly.
Cheers & Stay Swell.
