It’s taken me til today (and a couple of classic burnout days) to process Sing the Greys at @alberthallsstirling from Friday night. Won’t waffle on too much but these songs and this band were (and are) so central to so many of our lives over the past 15-20 years. I feel very privileged that Weaver trusted me to assemble a band of brilliant people and oversee that side of things for such an amazing event in aid of @tinychanges and @actioninmindstirling Thanks so much to all performers, band members, tech crew, venue staff and most of all @frabbits for these timeless songs. Love to everyone who joined us on the night, sang and danced along. The band: @andrewcowanguitar @gooddogsuse @meganmcnally_ @krayg_miqman_music @polkaspider

The new @admiral_fallow album ‘First of the Birds’ is out today. We’ve been a band for 18 years - that feels pretty mad. It’s a privilege to write, record and perform with these amazing musicians and people. Trying to do music full-time is tougher than ever so please do pick up the album from our Bandcamp or your favourite record shop. Streaming also available ofc. Thanks to everyone involved in keeping this thing going: @linklaterpip @sarah_hayes__ @bevan.crawley @pj_haggins @stewiestugoodall @chemikalunderground @chemikaljanitor @itslaurameek @euanrphoto @petitforester + all the bands, promoters, techs and music people we’ve worked with over the years.

Had a go at my second half marathon today in Edinburgh, was so funnn and a beautiful day. My feet hurt. Very nice to run alongside my buddy @manoftheminch and the sun stayed out the whole time 🌞 Thinking about a full marathon for my 40th in a couple of years 👀 Well done to any fellow runners! 🏃‍♂️

Great to be working on Glasgow Jazz Festival again, programming alongside the brilliant Jill Rodger. Mega buzzed to have booked the legendary @brian__jackson - his records with Gil Scott-Heron are absolute classics. Also super excited about the return of @mammalhands - first time in Glasgow since 2017 - and @mattcarmichaelmusic whose album ‘Dancing With Embers’ is one of my favourites so far of 2025. Lots of great acts to check out including @neilcowleymusic @fatsuit @theon_cross ft. @grahamcostellomusic and loads more, all onsale now at jazzfest.co.uk @glasgowjazzfest @creativescots

Today marks a year since I made my way to Japan for a pretty life-changing solo trip. Here’s some 35mm photos I didn’t use last year but been looking through and reliving it all 😊 If you’ve ever thought about going, I would say go go go. You can pay off the debt the rest of your life 🫠 @gulabiphoto #yashicat3 #minoltax700 #gulabiphoto
