Can heaven be a radio station?
Those of you that I talk to face-to-face may know that my work moved from the Maryhill area of Glasgow to the Auldhouse area on the Southside of the city. The move meant that I am no longer sharing an office with anyone and so, after some 11 years of listening to Glasgow’s most popular […]
Crowded House, SECC, 30 November 2007
I’ve been a Crowded House fan since I first heard the Woodface album back in 1991 but, for one lame reason or another, I never got or took the chance to see them live. When Neil Finn decided that it was time for the band to split up, I thought “well, there goes my chance […]
Foo Fighters, SECC, 9 November 2007
I was back at the SECC last Friday to see Foo Fighters in concert for the second time this year. If you are a regular reader of my Blog (and I thank you if you are), you’ll remember that I went to see them at Meadowbank Stadium in Edinburgh during the summer. Now, that was […]
Foo Fighters at T On The Fringe, 21 August 2007
I’m a bit of a Foo Fighters fan – not as much as I am a fan of REM, but I count myself as someone who will try to get to see them in concert if they’re in Central Scotland. Well, last Tuesday saw Foo Fighters performing at Meadowbank Stadium, Edinburgh as part of T […]
The Soundtrack of My Life
I’ve posted this on my “networking” sites – MySpace and Bebo – and it is a very interesting wee excercise to do. What happens is you put your ipod on shuffle and then answer the questions by writing down the tracks in the order they come up on. Some of these are really spooky!!!!! Opening […]
Terrorvision/Television Memories
Many moons ago – 10 years to be exact! – my sister, Mhairi, and I would have our regular Saturday night TV shows. One of these was Channel 4’s “Last Chance Lottery”, a gameshow based on that night’s National Lottery draw and hosted by Patrick Kielty. Our favourite memory of this mental show is the […]
Velvet Revolver, SECC, 10 June 2007
This all starts last Wednesday when I got an e-mail from the SECC tickets e-mail list saying that the promoters were giving away a limited number of free tickets to the Velvet Revolver concert at the SECC. All I needed to do was e-mail them with my name, e-mail and phone number and I’d be […]
Billy Joel, Glasgow SECC, 24 July 2006
Last Monday saw Billy Joel’s first solo concert in Glasgow for about 12 years. I had seen him when he last performed in Glasgow when the Face To Face tour he did with Elton John came to Ibrox Stadium in 1998. That was great, but this one was even better! I had a great seat […]
Guns N’ Roses Concert, Glasgow SECC, 21 July 2006
Last night was a night for nostalgia. A night for letting whatever hair I’ve got left down and enjoying a great night out listening to songs that got me into rock music in the first place. Guns N’ Roses came to Glasgow last night for what I understand was their first ever gig on Scottish […]
