Really looking forward to seeing David Scott lead the Pearlfishers out to perform at FRETS tomorrow night. Likewise Duglas T.Stewart and the BMX Bandits. It’s a great joint-headliner by two of Scotland’s consistently excellent pop auteurs. Tickets:

Thanks to everyone who came along to FRETS last night in the Strathaven Hotel. Callum Easter & The Roulettes were mindblowingly amazing, really something. The opening sets by Eugene Kelly and Stevie Jackson were fantastic, all in all a really special night. Photo: Les Hoggan
