  1. Glasgow - when will live music be back

    Glasgow - when will live music be back

    With this episode I just hit record and started talking! I'm frustrated and disappointed by the Summer Nights at Kelvingrove Bandstand being cancelled. Surely this is the ideal venue to trial live outdoor concerts at? Glasgow is a UNESCO city of music, a UNESCO creative city. We love music, we live for music, we really need it. Not just for the economy, but to lift spirits. I sincerely hope that some promoters, bands and labels are working on ideas for live music in the summer. I think the Bandstand and SWG3 in Glasgow are the venues we should be testing things at. Other cities in the UK are doing it. So what will my first post COVID concert be? Will Doune The Rabbit Hole go ahead? Do I hedge bets and buy tickets? What will my first show be? I basically use this podcast to get a lot of things off my chest. Chances are, if you are a music fan you'll be feeling the same.

  2. Teenage Fanclub Fanclub - Man-Made

    Teenage Fanclub Fanclub - Man-Made

    Barry McLuskie and Alan Clarke joined me again to record the second Teenage Fanclub Fanclub podcast. This time we focused on 2005's Man-Made album. "We hardly took any equipment, just some guitars and a pair of drumsticks." - Norman Blake As we recorded the Long Way Round podcast in February, the three of us found we had been listening to (and greatly appreciating) Man-Made. Three songs made it on to our Long Way Round (imaginary) compilation. There is a freshness to the album. The band have moved on from Creation/Sony, the 2003 career spanning compilation 4766 Seconds - A Shortcut to Teenage Fanclub helped to draw a line in the sand, Francis MacDonald returns on drums, the band have set up their own PeMa label and they have decamped to Chicago to record with John McEntire from Tortoise on production duties. We hope you enjoy the discussion surrounding the album, each song, b-sides and shows from the era, our thoughts and the odd tangent we head off on! Track the album down on vinyl or CD if you can. Thanks Murray

  3. Starry Skies

    Starry Skies

    Just over a year ago I put on an intimate show at The Doublet Bar in Glasgow for Starry Skies. This was my contribution to their album crowdfunder. You could book a house/flat show, but I booked the upstairs function room in one of my favourite bars, charged people £10 a ticket and every single penny went to the band. Little did the band or I know, it would be the last live show they would play or I would see for over 12-months! So what was it like to bring out an album in lockdown, what plans were cancelled, writing loads of new songs and what would they like to do when we come out of lockdown. Warren and Heather discuss this and much more in the latest podcast. Thanks for listening. Photo by Jim Byrne

    Port Sulphur & Ross Sinclair for Tiny Changes

    Douglas MacIntyre (Port Sulphur) and Professor Ross Sinclair from Glasgow School of Art recently collaborated on a cover version of Josef K's 'It's Kinda Funny' for an Into Creative project in aid of Tiny Changes, the charity set up in memory of Scott Hutchison. We discussed Port Sulphur's cover of Josef K's It's Kinda Funny with Ross' accompanying film, punk and post punk, the importance of Joy Division, going to punk gigs at 11 and 13, Postcard Records, the FRETS shows Douglas is putting on, crowdfunding and patreon models for record labels and the importance of doing things your way. Enjoy the chat.

    Teenage Fanclub Fanclub - long way round pt 1

    I caught up with fellow Teenage Fanclub Fanclub members Barry McLuskie and Alan Clarke to discuss our shared love of the band. For this episode Alan came up with the idea of creating a new compilation album, a sister to 2003's Four Thousand Seven Hundred And Sixty-Six Seconds - A Short Cut To Teenage Fanclub We each chose a song from Raymond, Gerry and Norman and discussed them over a few beers and red wine. This inevitably led to us over-running, so check out part 1 where we discuss 3 Raymond songs and 2 Gerry songs, plus go off on the off tangent!

  7. Stone Roses at Rooftops, Glasgow, 1989 - Memories

    Stone Roses at Rooftops, Glasgow, 1989 - Memories

    I chat with Tam Coyle, Stevie Watt & Craig McAllister about their memories of The Stone Roses first visit to Glasgow in June 1989. Tam was a young promoter who had to leave the Roses at 4.30am as he was working the next day. Stevie was helping Tam and DJ'd before The Roses and took them to his house so they could do an American phone interview. Craig was a young music fan traveling from Irvine to join the huge queue in the hope of getting in to see the band he had fallen for after seeing them on Another Side of Midnight, on Snub TV and buying the album. Me, I was 13, I was just too young. Oh to have seen the Roses at this time.  I hope you enjoy the stories and memories.

  8. Bobby Bluebell interview

    Bobby Bluebell interview

    The Bluebells seminal debut album 'Sisters' was lovingly remastered and reissued by Past Night From Glasgow in late 2020. I sent off an email with a few questions to Bobby Bluebell, with the intention of writing a feature length blog on the album. Bobby very kindly sent an audio recording back and rather than transcribe it, I thought it would make an excellent podcast. Bobby discussed The Bluebells formation, early years, the Glasgow scene (past and present), Sisters, songwriting and future plans. I hope you enjoy the first episode and I look forward to bringing you another one soon.
