It’s been a busy day, but it’s been lovely seeing people post their copies of the album & reaction to the songs.
I’m playing at Exchange in Bristol tomorrow night (still tickets available/on the door), then having a little break to make plans for 2026.
Thanks for listening/sharing :)

Morning all.
I released an album today, I’d love you to check it out.
It’s called “Certain Stories” - 12
sad songs with glimmers of hope sprinkled throughout. An “it’s cold outside, but the heating is on” record.
Here are some links to stream it: lastnightfromglasgow.lnk.to/certainstories

Got mine yesterday! And if I manage to eventually stop myself running around my garden, frantically waving it above my head whilst shouting, "All books are self-help books!", I might even get around to actually listening to it.

Just realised it’s the anniversary of Freddie Mercury’s death today.
34 years.
That means it’s 24 years since I, a first year uni student, tried to keep drinking pace with some 4th years in a day-long Queen/Freddie listening marathon and was mortally hungover for two entire days.
