Interesting detail in here that a) the trio actually did try to reunite for the Copper Blue tour that Bob ended up doing with Jason and Jon , b) HODM is an old song.

Two shows in NYC and 2 in London.

There must be more at some point in the not too distant future.

He is although he fell into the audience at the first Xmas show last year!

Hoping to get tickets on Friday.

I think there would be some merit in leaving Sugar be but I guess commercially it makes sense. Will do our best to get to a show.

I think it’s the travelling that’s the biggest hassle, getting a bit fed up driving to and from Glasgow and not getting home til after midnight.

Mike @manicpopthrlls.bsky.social · 3d

Definitely! A mere two nights in a row this coming week, both at the weekend - Robert Forster in Edinburgh on Friday then Jill Lorean in Glasgow the following night.

Mike @manicpopthrlls.bsky.social · 3d

Give nights in a row out mercifully concluded this evening with a very fine Jeffrey Lewis and the Voltage show at La Belle Angele.

I mean it's been great but looking forward to some quiet nights in before Robert Forrester in Edinburgh on Friday.

New on the blog: Edwyn Collins live in Newcastle

The Sound of Happiness – Edwyn Collins live in Newcastle-upon-Tyne

After missing out on Glasgow tickets, the trip to Newcastle to catch Edwyn on his final tour was well worth the extra distance travelled.
