Yer man was a gent.

interviewed him at a QM soundcheck, and asked if they played louder at the gig?

Lemmy told me to put my head into his bin, and played this...

Don't think I've ever recovered!

Was trying to think of the last time I was at the QM for a gig before last week.

It was the last ever Fall gig, and it was fierce!

This band - every man jack of them - and drummer Al Jackson Jnr is wearing the Glengarry he was gifted in Glasgow in 67!

Staxx to the max!

Always a wake-up call - and yes, his dad, 'The black arra!' ran the wing for Celtic, but this brother.

A muse for Dali, a French Disco queen, and when I met her, great fun.

Top night at the Clydeside Distillery, and we ended up in a Gaelic pub, by the Argyle Street Ash - a hero tree!

Ooh, my plates...

#OTD in 1987, the Def Jam tour touched down in Glasgow. We went to see LL Cool J, and all came away as fans of Eric B and Rakim, and Public Enemy.
LL Cool J came on stage via the tape deck of a giant prop master-blaster.

Been a bad week for good people; that's Paisley buddy, designer Pam Hogg died.

Lovely today, when heading home through Central, to bump into my big pal, station tour guide Paul Lyons. First time we've met since his near-fatal loft fall.

Great to see him back where he belongs.

Farewell Lady Joan Branson (nee Templeman), the Glasgow girl, one of six siblings, and the daughter of a ship's carpenter on the Clyde, who tamed the Virgin tycoon.

Off out for a business meeting this crisp and chilly day at the Four Winds Pavilion off Govan Road - the former hydraulic pumping station for the old Prince's Dock.

Even better, going down to the Clyde Walkway, the Clyde was mirror-calm, providing some fabulous reflections.
